1. Never heard of them

And frankly, don't care to.

Welcome to NewsBusters, a project of the Media Research Center, the leader in documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias.

With NewsBusters, the MRC has joined forces with the creators of the influential web site RatherBiased.com, Matthew Sheffield and Greg Sheffield, to launch the NewsBusters blog to provide immediate exposure of liberal media bias, insightful analysis, constructive criticism and timely corrections to news media reporting.

Taking advantage of the MRC's thorough and ongoing tracking of liberal media bias, including a wealth of documentation and an archive of newscast video dating back 18 years, we aim to have NewsBusters play a leading role in blog media criticism by becoming the clearinghouse for all evidence of liberal media bias by joining to this formidable information store the contributions of already-established netizens as well as those who want to join in the web revolution.

Media Research Center

The Media Research Center's mission is to bring balance and responsibility to the news media. The MRC was founded on October 1, 1987 by a group of young, determined conservatives headed by L. Brent Bozell III who set out to not only prove — through sound scientific research — that this bias exists, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene.

NewsBusters.org is a project of the MRC's News Analysis Division, led since 1987 by MRC Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker. The division produces daily, weekly and special reports that document and counter liberal bias from television network news shows and major print publications. Tim Graham serves as Director of Media Analysis and Rich Noyes is the Director of Research.

The MRC's other Web projects

TimesWatch, a site dedicated to "documenting and exposing the liberal political agenda of the New York Times."

Free Market Project, "auditing the media's coverage of the free market system."

CNSNews.com, the CyberCast News Service, where you get "The Right news. Right now."

10. Damn, they know their stuff, don't they?

And we wonder why we don't get our message out more more efficiently.

This should be the model. Intensive, exaustive reaearch, combined with compliant, sycophantic media...

But then, we don't have the resources, do we?

[Harper_is_Bush]

12. You left out one important part of the model...

calcualted dishonesty. Their dishonesty requires a focus and a commitment which manifests in a web of convincing misinformation. That blog shows up in google news. Google "Helen Thomas" and "flowers".
As does CNSNews, which is connected to these guys and I expect to see something from them on this soon enough.

Dems are getting better at creating a good cyberspace presence though. Of course there's this place, but this is primarily a forum which gets limitted respect in the mainstream. I'm seeing more dem sites that mimic professional news sites. Maybe a little dishonest, to be fair, but you have to compete and the content is 100% truer! And similar con sites still outnumber the Dems 10 -1.

[Canuckistanian]

14. I was mentioning the process, not the content

You'll get no argument here about the dishonesty - it's legendary.. and effective.

says it all....

13. They're the offspring of Brent "Bozo" Bozell's outfit. He's such a joke.

:+ The real Bozell clown is red all over.

2. F them - every last one of them!

They will support a man who has lied to them, stolen from them, taken their civil liberties and rights away from them, murdered thousands of innocent people, and refuses to be held accountable for his actions - under the same laws they must obey.

They are not worthy of a response. Some people are just too stupid to bother with.

[Catch22Dem]

3. Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick! Did you read the comments?

A leftie laid out the economic facts of *'s miserable economy for this fucking MorAn (who refers to * as "The Great President Bush" and
our benevolent leader" but not in a joking way like we do. Anyway, they REFUSE to see the facts. Fuck 'em.

4. Right-Wing web site. Who cares. nt

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. It's as if there are two completely parallel worlds

that don't intersect.

It's bizarre actually.

Evey possible mistake and crime jr has committed is justified on the basis that Clinton did something similar.

[Goblinmonger]

7. That's bizarrO

Incredible episode of Seinfeld, btw.

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. Also a long running plot line in Superman comics in the early 60's

Strange duplicates with white cracked faces.

[Skittles]

9. actually, it is just the opposite

we are so starved for truth in the corporate media we bestow flowers on an American treasure who dares to demand accountability

[Hissyspit]

11. Iraq is a horrible fucking mess = liberal media bias.

Whatever...

[Pryderi]

15. They spelled "combatting" wrong.

[Harper_is_Bush]

16. Inflected Form(s): -bat·ed or -bat·ted; -bat·ing or -bat·ting

I love defeating spelling nazis!

[Pryderi]

17. combattre, from Old French, from Late Latin combattere

[Harper_is_Bush]

19. French?

Why do you hate America?

20. Who?

I do not put much faith in people who have to present themselves as "L. Brent Bozell III "


"The Right news. Right now." yeah. As in FAR right:

The far right, the far right
See how they run, see how they run
They finance their campaigns by illegal means
They win their elections with voting machines
They then go to Congress and start causing scenes
It’s the far right!

(Sung to the melody of "Three Blind Mice," from The Freedom Toast albums)

[Harper_is_Bush]

22. Who?

L. Brent Borozel the 3rd?? Never heard of him.

Mediamatters attempts a legit look and feel so shut that they turn their sites on gets spread about a bit. And nobody looks to see who puts the site up, if that's who that guy is.
