A number of [[Progressivism in the United States|progressive]] groups and individuals have questioned Limbaugh's accuracy. In the July/August 1994 issue of ''Extra!'', a publication of the media watchdogprogressive organization [[Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting]] (FAIR), an article challenged the accuracy of Limbaugh's commentary.<ref> [http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1895 The Way Things Aren't] ''Extra!'', July/August 1994</ref> Thearticle alleged scores of inaccuracies and was later published as a book, ''The Way Things Aren't: Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error''. After Limbaugh's rebuttal defended and clarified some of his original comments, FAIR alleged more inaccuracies in Limbaugh's rebuttal.<ref> [http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1896 FAIR's Reply to Limbaugh's Non-Response] FAIR Press Release, October 17 1994</ref> Others have since joined FAIR in questioning Limbaugh's facts.
