ALEXANDRIA, VA Brian Frons, president of daytime programming for Disney-ABC, said that the network had an amazing year with Ms. ODonnell and hopes to entice Rosie back next year and if were lucky to guest co-host once in a while. In the same ABCNEWS.com statement, Barbara Walters said she can only be grateful to her [Rosie] for this year, and hopes that Ms. ODonnell will be back with us often next season as a guest host. How proud of Rosie should ABC be? Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America. (The View, 9/12/06)... continue reading
ALEXANDRIA, VA Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell commented today on PBS decision to broadcast Bill Moyers Buying the War documentary while refusing to air Frank Gaffneys Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center: All PBS has become is welfare for activist has-beens, said L. Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center. Their editorial rationale is self-incriminating. They subject viewers to the fanatical work of liberals like Bill Moyers, using viewers tax money and airwaves to peddle Moyers notion that the liberal media coverage of the Iraq war wasnt liberal enough. But, at the same time, they... continue reading
ALEXANDRIA, VA ABC News conducted a poll that showed 40 percent think the culture is responsible for gun-violence, like that which occurred at Virginia Tech, and another 35 percent blame poor parenting. Yet ABC did not mention the critical culture finding on ABCs World News on April 23. Instead, the network focused on the polls findings on gun control. This is a clear example of cherry-picking the facts to fit a liberal bias. In response to ABCs selective reporting, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following statement: They didnt get the result they were looking for, which was... continue reading
ALEXANDRIA, VA In advance of Earth Day on April 22, a new study released today by the Media Research Center proves that the morning news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC are giving overwhelmingly one-sided coverage to the global warming issue with numerous reports that largely mimic the talking points of former Vice President Al Gore and climate disaster alarmists. The networks have also completely ignored the regulatory costs, estimated up to $400 billion a year, to reduce greenhouse gases that allegedly cause global warming. ABCs Good Morning America , CBSs The Early Show , and NBCs Today ran 115... continue reading

Alexandria, VA The top liberal media are extensively reporting on the Bush Administrations replacement of eight federal attorneys in 2006, calling it a political scandal and relaying demands by Democrats for the resignation of U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. But this same liberal media treated the firing of 93 U.S. prosecutors by President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno in 1993 as largely routine, and did not fuel demands for Renos resignation. This blatant double standard in coverage further confirms the fact that the top media in America are liberally biased and committed to promoting liberal Democrats and denigrating conservative... continue reading
ALEXANDRIA, VA Health care has taken center stage in the 2008 elections. But the media have already set the scene portraying pharmaceutical companies as villains, when they bother to mention them at all. The networks attack the industry about drug costs, but give little credit for breakthroughs and miracle drugs. This fits the network pattern of mistreating any successful business, said L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center, the parent of the Business & Media Institute (BMI) which authored the report. The coverage is so one-sided, its shameless, said Dan Gainor, BMI director. BMIs new in-depth study,... continue reading

ALEXANDRIA, VA Scientific and religions experts have thoroughly debunked James Camerons documentary The Lost Tomb of Jesus which purports to unveil evidence of Jesus Christs burial in a Jerusalem family crypt along with his father Joseph, mother Mary, wife Mary Magdalene and a son named Judah. In light of this, the Media Research Center calls out the Discovery Channel: If the Discovery Channel fails to cancel this slanderous documentary, it will have to explain why it is intentionally misleading the public, said L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center, referring to Sundays upcoming airing of The Tomb... continue reading
ALEXANDRIA, VA This weekend, the Academy may well award Al Gore an Oscar for his much hyped film An Inconvenient Truth at the 2007 Academy Awards. But according to the MRCs Business & Media Institute, the media have already proclaimed him a global warming saint by broadcasting his left-wing propaganda as fact and disregarding scientific evidence that runs contrary to global warming hysteria. The liberal elites in Hollywood have honored Gore with an Academy nomination, rewarding one of their own for peddling propaganda, stated L. Brent Bozell, President of the Media Research Center. Whether or not Gore wins Sunday, the... continue reading
