MORE LINKSTerry Krepel Brent Bozell, Pundit Without a ClueThe Media Research Center's Brent Bozell is at his most entertaining when he's asserting something that has no basis in fact or making claims on which he has done no research. He recently accomplished both in a two-day span.
The Daily Howler BRENT BOZELL, LYING LIARLet’s face it, readers—if there’s a way to commit fraud with a “quote,” the MRC will find it. Also from Daily Howler: In his new book, Arrogance, Bernard Goldberg continues cadging bogus “quotes” from the pathologically dishonest MRC
Terry Krepel Tapped OutAn MRC writer tries to dismiss Jake Tapper as just another liberal reporter; Tapper proves him wrong. Plus: The MRC demands an apology from CNN for passing on bum information -- but won't correct its own.
Terry Krepel The MRC's WarFox News Channel, unsurprisingly, gets the "research" group's highest marks in war coverage -- and it's still hard-pressed to be overly critical of Geraldo Rivera. When the Media Research Center issues a "special report," watch out. Also see:
Democratic Underground.com The MRC and Liberal Media Bias: Creating Their Own Enemy"..Bozell has been charged with what may be the most important job in conservative circles: verifying that Liberal Media Bias exists, and therefore vindicating the overwhelming amount of conservative punditry that we are subjected to daily.
Columbia Journalism Review Framing the Flag...the center took on a "new and vital mission" in the months following the attacks on Washington and New York, according to its founder, L. Brent Bozell III. "We are training our guns on any media outlet or any reporter interfering with America's war on terrorism or trying to undermine the authority of President Bush," he wrote in a recent fundraising letter...In practice, the center defined the home team as the Bush administration and its policies. Journalists and pundits who challenged them were tarred with the epithet "political activist," or in the case of the cartoonist Aaron McGruder, "America-hater."
Media Whores Online Congratulations MWO Whore of the Week: Brent BozellNow that the rightwing has unleashed the "attack journalists" on David Brock’s Blinded By The Right, it shouldn't be too surprising that 'Media Watchdog" L. Brent Bozell has weighed in.

Taylor Marsh JOHN MURTHA: Anatomy of a Smear...Prior to 2005, The Cybercast News Service (CNS), purveyor of all things conservative and run by L. Brent Bozell III, had only one article about Rep. John Murtha. The headline was laudatory: Congressional Bill Would Establish Memorial for Victims of 9/11 (March 8, 2002). But on November 18, 2005, Bozell's team shot into action and hasn't stopped attacking Rep. Murtha since.
Terry Krepel The Bush Administration Research CenterAs its promotion of a dubious WMDs-in-Iraq claim and its attacks on the New York Times demonstrate, the Media Research Center is much more interested in advancing White House talking points than engaging in media research The Media Research Center, historically, has been less about media research and more about advancing Republican talking points. Events of the past couple weeks make that clearer than ever.
John W. Mashek Media critics need to look in the mirrorLeave it to the right wing to cross the preposterous line just when you think it reached that point long ago.
Public Eye The Bias Debate: Evening News Exec Producer Defends Piece To Conservative Critics"My problem with many of the MRC's [Media Research Center] complaints is that it regularly exaggerates the impact of whatever it disagrees with. If a President Clinton or a President Carter were in the exact same situation as this President, the MRC wouldn't peep about this script. It is a much more biased organization than any institution in the MSM."

Terry Krepel Falsely Asserting a False AssertionThe MRC piles on qualifications to try to turn a truth into a lie. Plus: Is sister site CNSNews.com resorting to Republican talking points on judicial nominations? And CNS won't point out judicial activism when a conservative does it.
Brian Montopoli Propaganda Clothed as CritiqueWe'd like to take Brent Bozell's Media Research Center seriously. We really would...[but] Underlying every assertion by MRC...is the notion that the media is consciously and deliberately acting to distort the news, thanks to an overriding and all-consuming ideological bias.
MediaWeek Brent Bozell's PTC files 99.8% of all FCC indeceny complaints!In an appearance before Congress in February ... Federal Communications Commission chairman Michael Powell laid some startling statistics on U.S. senators. The number of indecency complaints had soared dramatically to more than 240,000 in the previous year, Powell said. The figure was up from roughly 14,000 in 2002, and from fewer than 350 in each of the two previous years. There was, Powell said, "a dramatic rise in public concern and outrage about what is being broadcast into their homes." What Powell did not reveal — apparently because he was unaware — was the source of the complaints. According to a new FCC estimate obtained by Mediaweek, nearly all indecency complaints in 2003—99.8 percent—were filed by [Brent Bozell's] the Parents Television Council, an activist group.

James Kuhnhenn As war and the economy influence election, conservatives turn their sights on the media[MT Editor's note: This otherwise good story on the MRC spending money to benefit the Republicans doesn't mention, yet again, the money it has received from the conservative philanthropies] Conservatives across the country decry news coverage of the war as relentlessly and unfairly negative. Last week Brent Bozell, a conservative activist, launched a $2.8 million advertising and talk-radio campaign to discredit the "liberal news media."
