Brent Bozell, President, Media Research Center “Jorge Ramos has openly proclaimed the need for ‘journalists’ to go after President Trump and fight the President’s political agenda, and for that he gets an award from the ‘objective’ press.

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell: Liberals in the media are scrambling to cover for the revelation that Barack Obama’s former National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, unmasked Donald Trump associates in classified intelligence. Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following statement: “The liberal media’s ‘nothing to see here’ approach to Susan Rice’s politically-motivated unmasking of Trump associates in sensitive intelligence material is shameful. You’d think someone who lied to the press and the American people about her role in the unmasking just two weeks ago would invite more scrutiny. We have a smoking gun that points to criminal... continue reading

Reston, Virginia — Late Thursday afternoon, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell released the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s budget proposal, including the decision to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB): “This is fantastic news. There is absolutely no reason for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to receive taxpayer funding. I have long opposed taxpayer subsidization of public broadcasting because it’s not the federal government’s business to prop up media entities with taxpayer money. There are plenty of leftwing billionaires who could help fund the liberal propaganda coming from CPB. Now it’s time for Congress to follow... continue reading

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell: “The media’s outrageous distortions of then-Senator Sessions’ meeting with the Russian ambassador at the Republican Convention must end now. We now know this was a political hit job. Any future news stories that fail to mention the blockbuster report that Sessions’ meeting with the Russian ambassador was at the behest of the Obama State Department will give more evidence of this hit job -- and the anti-Trump media's role in it. This is a hit job orchestrated by former Obama officials and holdovers in conjunction with a compliant media who are leveling untrue claims... continue reading

Reacting to BuzzFeed irresponsibly publishing an unsubstantiated smear against President-elect Donald Trump, on Wednesday, Media Research Center president Brent Bozell released the following statement: “Buzzfeed’s story is clearly fake news. Any media outlet that does not produce a news story that declares Buzzfeed’s story fake news is giving aid and comfort to fake news and furthering its proliferation. “This fiasco is exactly why the media’s ratings are in the toilet. It’s exactly why Donald Trump said the election was rigged and it’s also why Donald Trump hasn’t done many press conferences. Buzzfeed should stick to cat gifs for the foreseeable... continue reading

Reston, VA — On Friday afternoon, Media Research Center founder and president Brent Bozell released the following statement lauding CNN Worldwide’s announcement of Ramon Escobar as the new Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion: “We're applauding CNN for naming Ramon Escobar as Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion for CNN Worldwide. It sounds like CNN will be reaching out to conservatives as they are a diverse segment of the American people. At a time when other networks are showing conservaphobia, CNN will be a trail blazer for the largest segment of the American population that heretofore have been censored and... continue reading

Sunday morning on MSNBC, AM Joy host Joy Reid decided to twist the words of Media Research Center president Brent Bozell when it came to Bozell’s statement regarding Facebook’s decision to crack down on fake news stories.
