Does anyone know anything about the producers of this website? I went to
preview it and it seems to have a very pronounced conservative bias in the
few articles that I read. I looked around on the site and found nothing to
indicate who any of the people involved are, except for their names. The
FAQ section lists "scholars and experts" as the authors of the articles, but
nothing indicates the authority of those contributing authors.
This service might be a good one, but I am concerned that a biased agenda on
the part of the producers might diminish the value of the resource. Any
information will be appreciated.
