Accuracy in Media

Accuracy in Media (AIM) is the brainchild of Reed Irvine, a hard right activist who also created Accuracy in Academia. Irvine fixated on the Vincent Foster case, publishing a 218-page book, Vincent Foster, The Ruddy Investigation. In 1996 he created a five-part series of print ads excoriating the New York Times for refusing to print the facts about the death of Foster. The ads ran in several newspapers, including the Times.⁷⁴ As recently as January 1999, the Accuracy in Media AIM Report featured a cover story on Foster, "Find the X-Rays or Exhume the Body," complete with a forensic drawing detailing a cross-section of a human head.⁷⁵ After DNA testing showed that a young Black man had not been fathered by Clinton, Irvine argued that "I see no reason why [Ruddy's] NewsMax.com, the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily, the New York Post or AIM should feel embarrassed for having reported that the William's family believed Clinton" was the father.
