NewsBusters was founded in 2005 by the Media Research Center (MRC), a conservative media watchdog organization. The idea behind NewsBusters was to create a platform that would monitor and critique perceived liberal bias in the mainstream media. The founders of the MRC, Brent Bozell and L. Brent Bozell III, believed that there was a need for an outlet that would hold the media accountable and provide a counterpoint to what they saw as a left-leaning bias in news coverage. Today, NewsBusters is still owned and operated by the Media Research Center. Based in the United States, NewsBusters primarily focuses on analyzing and criticizing news coverage from various media outlets, with a particular emphasis on perceived liberal bias. The website covers a range of topics, including politics, entertainment, and culture, but its primary mission is to highlight what it considers to be instances of media bias or inaccurate reporting. While NewsBusters does not produce original news reporting, it offers commentary and analysis on the news coverage of other media organizations. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of NewsBusters is its extensive archive of media analysis and criticism. The website has been actively monitoring and documenting perceived liberal bias in the media for over 15 years, amassing a vast collection of articles, videos, and transcripts that showcase its perspective on media coverage. This extensive database has made NewsBusters a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the conservative critique of mainstream media.
NewsBusters is ranked 6,505 among other media sources and has an average of 927,331 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
