 ::How do you define non-partisan? Nearly everything the SPLC has published can be found in daily newspapers as well. There are also a number of scholarly journal articles and conference papers that reiterate what the SPLC has published. I have added cites to both types of sources. Should the SPLC publication become defined as ""partisan"" simply because the SCV members do not like what it reports? If so, then all of these newspaper articles and scholarly papers would also have to be defined as ""partisan."" The fact is that newspaper reporters and scholars often base their pieces on data gleaned from the SPLC, and expressly acknowledge that source. If the SPLC is considered a reliable source by journalists and scholars, I see no reason to accept its demonization by the SCV members here. Recall that ""heritage defense"" is the SCV's mission, according to its own web page. These guys are editing here for the purpose of pushing the SCV agenda. Don't let them exclude a perfectly acceptable source simply because it conflicts with their ideological agenda. "
