Is Brent Bozell behind the cries of 'Liberal' Media?

[ck4829]

Brent Bozell is the founder and President of the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog organization.

Bozell is also the founder and President of the Parents Television Council, which his biogrpahical note describes as "the only Hollywood-based organization dedicated to restoring responsibility to the entertainment industry."

"In June 1998, Mr. Bozell launched the Conservative Communications Center (C3) to provide the conservative movement with the marketing and public relations tools necessary to deliver its message into the 21st century. C3's online news division, the Cybercast News Service at www.CNSNews.com, has become a major internet news source with a full staff of journalists in its Washington, DC metro bureau, and operates bureaus in London and Jerusalem, with other correspondents around the world," his biographical note states.

Bozell is a nationally syndicated writer whose work has appeared in a wide range of publications.

"Mr. Bozell is Executive Director of the Conservative Victory Committee (CVC), an independent multi-candidate political action committee that has helped elect dozens of conservative candidates over the past ten years. He was National Finance Chairman for the 1992 Buchanan for President campaign, and Finance Director and later President of the former National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC). He currently belongs to the Council for National Policy (CNP) and sits on the Board of Directors of the American Conservative Union (ACU)," his biographical note states.

According to Media Transparency, Bozell helped orchestrate the smear campaign directed at the opposition to Clarence Thomas's appointment to the Supreme Court in 1991. During the 2004 elections Bozell has launched a 2.8 million dollar campaign to discredit the "liberal media" (see WaPo external link). His column on the eve of the Republican convention attempts to smear Kerry by accusing him of "soldier-smearing", for having reported, during his 1971 Congressional testimony, on atrocities being committed in Vietnam.

Washington Post, June 28, 2004.: Bozell's Media Research Center has raised $2.8 million for newspaper ads in 15 markets, billboards in 40 cities and a talk-radio blitz aimed at countering what he sees as a "liberal jihad" that is unfair to President Bush. The slogan (also on T-shirts and mugs) is not exactly subtle. A finger-pointing Uncle Sam declares: "Don't believe the liberal media!"

And he ain't giving it up. As long as he keeps up with this crap, he makes big $$$, because simpletons send him Big $$$. It's just that simple.

2. Not sure of the exact year, but he was one of the first

to get lots of time on the networks pushing the "liberal media" propoganda. Seems to me it was early nineties or late 80's.

3. Completely Scaife funded-Bozell started with the conclusion....

about the "liberal media" (based mostly on a poll of news paper REPORTERS -not publishers or editors- conducted in 1969) and then worked backwards to find support for the conclusion already reached.

Sound familiar?

4. Either Liberal Media or Clinton..Clinton..Clinton..Clinton..Clinton

Clinton made Bozell and without Clinton he is nothing. He cashed in on the clinton hatred and has yet to find a new hatred he can cash in on. Liberal Media is an old mainstay from before Bozell's time.
