The Media Research Center (MRC) is an American politically conservative content analysis group based in Reston, Virginia, founded in 1987 by L. Brent Bozell III.[2] It characterizes itself as a media watchdog,[2] whereas Brian Montopoli in the Columbia Journalism Review in 2005 considered it "propaganda clothed as critique".[3


NewsBusters
In the summer of 2005, Media Research Center launched NewsBusters, a website "dedicated to exposing & combating liberal media bias," in cooperation with Matthew Sheffield, a conservative blogger involved in the CBS Killian documents story. NewsBusters is styled as a rapid-response blog site that contains posts by MRC editors to selected stories in mass media.[23] Although the site is advertised chiefly as a conservative site, it frequently defends Neoconservatives as well.[24] Not only does the site highlight journalists it deems are liberally biased, but also non-journalists (writers, musicians, producers, scientists, etc.) who they perceive have liberal viewpoint.[25][26][27][28]

In March 2010, About.com named MRC one of the top 20 conservatives to follow on Twitter.[44]

Bozell was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican primaries, describing him as "the greatest charlatan of them all", "a "huckster" and "shameless self-promoter".[12] He said, "God help this country if this man were president."[12] After Trump clinched the Republican nomination, Bozell attacked the media for their "hatred" of Trump.[12] Politico noted, "The paradox here is that Bozell was once more antagonistic toward the president than any journalist."[12] Bozell singled out Jake Tapper for being "one of the worst offenders" in coverage of Trump, however several senior MRC staff told Politico that they considered Tapper a model of fairness.[12]

Journalist Brian Montopoli of Columbia Journalism Review in 2005 labeled MRC "just one part of a wider movement by the far right to demonize corporate media", rather than "make the media better."[46]

On December 22, 2011, Media Research Center president Bozell appeared on Fox News and suggested U.S. President Barack Obama looks like a "skinny ghetto crackhead".[47]

The Media Research Center has also faced scrutiny over the group's $350,000 purchase in 2012 of a Pennsylvania house that a top executive had been trying to sell for several years.[48

"Trump is a Russian operative.....it is real" - Lawrence O'Donnell.

Makes me ashamed to be Irish.

The actual existence of these kooks invalidates their arguments. If Trump is a Russian operative dictator, why does he let people call him that over and over every night? What dictator allows that?
