News Busters

America's top media watchdog dedicated to identifying, highlighting, and addressing liberal media bias. In August 2005, the Media Research Center (MRC) introduced the NewsBusters blog to quickly shine a light on instances of media bias, unfairness, inaccuracies, and sometimes absurdities in national news coverage. Popular national talk-radio hosts frequently reference articles from the blog, sharing the latest insights from "our friends at NewsBusters." Even the Washington Post has acknowledged this "dynamic blog" managed by "the most recognized and well-funded conservative watchdog." With an advanced recording operation that runs around the clock and a comprehensive archive of broadcast and cable news footage dating back to 1987, NewsBusters is instrumental in addressing immediate controversies as well as tracking long-term patterns of liberal bias in the media.
