-The '''Culture and Media Institute''' (CMI) is a conservative [[United States|American]] non-profit organization focusing on promoting what it considers to be traditional values in American culture and beliefs and fair treatment of conservatives in the news media. It was founded in October 2006 as a division of the [[Media Research Center]], a group that monitors perceived liberal news media bias.<ref>{{cite press release|title=MRC Launches Culture & Media Institute|url=http://www.mrc.org/press/2006/press20061018.asp|publisher=Media Research Center|date=2006-10-18|access-date=2008-06-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080522125331/http://www.mrc.org/press/2006/press20061018.asp|archive-date=2008-05-22|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=May 2020}}
