Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following statement regarding news of James O'Keefe's sting operation attempt to embarrass CNN: "The MRC unequivocally denounces James O'Keefe for his attempted assault on CNN. It isn't just childish and immature; it's ugly, dishonest and filthy. There is no place in the conservative movement for this type of behavior and that's exactly what I warned about in a commentary piece I submitted to CNN.com just two days ago. 'Could the Citizen Journalist abuse the public trust?' I wrote in this piece that should run in the next few days. 'Hypothetically, of course... continue reading

See below. Brent Bozell, Media Research Center President, reacts: "This is mudsliging at its ugliest. Pure character assassination.

"The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," the longtime dictator was quoted as telling The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg in a September 8 posting .

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacted to news of ABC News President David Westin's resignation this morning: "Congratulations, ABC News! You are now free from the 14-year reign of the news president that helped drive your ratings into the ground. "Under his leadership, Westin continually promoted some of the most liberally biased reporters in news, including George Stephanopoulos , Diane Sawyer , Christine Amanpour and Bill Weir .

ALEXANDRIA, VA - Brent Bozell, founder and president of The Media Research Center, issued the following statement about The Washington Post Company selling Newsweek to Sidney Harman: "There's something entirely believable about the Newsweek sale. A left-winger pretending to be centrist sold it to another left-winger pretending to be centrist. Newsweek is a dying magazine because no one wants to read their left-wing propaganda masquerading as 'news.' The $1 price tag, then, is probably just about right." For more information on the sale, read the NewsBusters' story here . continue reading
"Andrew Breitbart is going to be fine. He's done nothing wrong. I wonder if Ms. Sherrod, who is such a champion of transparency, will publicly disclose who is putting her up to this. And I also hope this champion of honesty will stop lying about Fox News. I'm also waiting for Ms. Sherrod to publicly apologize for accusing anyone opposed to nationalized healthcare of being racist. Last time I checked, that was more than half the country." - Brent Bozell, Media Research Center President and Founder continue reading

Jeremiah Wright news in 2008 to protect Obama, attempts to smear conservatives as racist, and an NPR producer saying that if conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh were dying, she would "laugh loudly like a... continue reading
