The Media Research Center (MRC) was founded in 1987 by L. Brent Bozell III, a conservative media critic and political activist. The idea behind the MRC was to create a non-profit organization that would monitor and analyze the news media, with the goal of exposing what the MRC perceives as liberal bias and holding the media accountable for its coverage. Today, the MRC is still led by L. Brent Bozell III and is funded by a network of conservative donors and supporters. Based in the United States, the MRC primarily focuses on political news and commentary, with a particular emphasis on criticizing and fact-checking the reporting of mainstream media outlets. While the MRC's coverage spans a range of topics, including entertainment and sports, its primary mission is to promote a conservative perspective on current events and to challenge what it sees as the liberal bias of the mainstream media. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of the MRC is its extensive media monitoring and analysis capabilities, which allow the organization to track and document what it considers to be instances of media bias or inaccurate reporting. This data is then used to produce reports, articles, and other content that aim to expose and counter the perceived liberal bias of the media.
