The Center for Education Reform announces<\/strong> the launch of the Media Bullpen.<\/strong> This new virtual newsroom brings accountability to education news. Each day CER’s “umps” analyze the media on education and score who’s got it right — and who struck out. The Media Bullpen is a fun way to browse education news, but be forewarned — you may not always agree with the umpires! Here are the scores being used:<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Home Run<\/h3>\n

Great: \u201cThis is awesome! Yes, s\/he gets it!\u201d
\nClear and accurate, nothing missing; any quotes stats are accurate and used in the correct way, portrayed in the correct light. Gives insight into an issue.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Triple<\/h3>\n

Really Good: Nodding your head.
\nAll the facts are cited and used correctly. Well-written and presented.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Double<\/h3>\n

Good: \u201cIt\u2019s good. I might have said it a different way or talked about___.\u201d
\nPrimarily right\u2014a solid or really good effort. May need slight clarification or a small piece of additional info but their main conclusions are good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Single\u00a0<\/h3>\n

So-so: \u201cMeh. OK.\u201d On the fence.
\nCited some facts correctly but got some other things wrong or taken out of context or had major omissions. Got more than one thing right but several things wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Pop Fly<\/h3>\n

Not good: \u201cGot a piece of it but way off base…\u201d
\nPrimarily incorrect. One or two issues have been identified but more wrong than right. Misses critical information; leaves out important details; and\/or takes facts\/statements out of context. The conclusions are invalid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Strike Out<\/h3>\n

No: \u201cWrong! No!\u201d \u2014or\u2014 \u201cEh, not so much.\u201d
\nAre you kidding me? Completely wrong. Anything in here that is right is taken in the wrong context. The conclusions are invalid.<\/p>\n

You can see which topics are being represented most accurately and even check out the all-time batting average.<\/p>\n
