Bad Faith Actor

A study of the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM)

July 7, 2025
A new study by Policy Exchange today exposes the inadequate methods and partisan agenda of the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM).
 
CfMM’s purpose is not solely to challenge inaccurate journalism about Muslims, but also, in the group’s own words, “taking control of the narrative” about Islam. 
 
It claims newspapers are “one of the biggest drivers of Islamophobia” – but in its entire seven-year existence has secured only one forced correction at IPSO.
