The Culture and Media Institute (CMI) is a conservative 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.[1]


The Institute promotes its mission through editorials and research reports. "Eye on Culture" is a regular feature in which CMI writers express their opinions on American popular culture.[2] Among its viewpoints include opposition to the Fairness Doctrine[3] and opposition to same-sex marriage.[4] In March 2007, the CMI published a "National Cultural Values Survey" and concluded from its results that most Americans perceived a decline in moral values.[5] One study released by the organization in July 2007 claimed that television viewing time correlated directly with one's liberal attitude,[6] even possibly degrading to moral attitudes.[7]




CMI founder L. Brent Bozell III.


The CBS crime drama Cold Case has been twice criticized by the CMI for alleged anti-Christian prejudice in two episodes.[8] In May 2008, CMI released another report, one that claimed a moral decline in "Dear Abby" columns.[9]

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
