Founder and President of the Media Research Center, Mr. Bozell runs the largest media watchdog organization in America. Established in 1987, the MRC has made "media bias" a household term, tracking it daily and printing the compiled evidence biweekly in its well-known Notable Quotables, which also releases an annual "Best of NQ" edition selected by a nationwide panel of judges active in the news industry. His most recent book, Weapons of Mass Distortion: The Coming Meltdown of the Liberal Media, was released in July of 2004.  Other MRC books include And That's the Way It Is(n't): A Reference Guide to Media Bias; Pattern of Deception: The Media's Role in the Clinton Presidency; How to Identify, Expose and Correct Liberal Media Bias; and Out of Focus: Network Television and the American Economy.  A sequel to And That's the Way It Is(n't) is pending publication. 

In June 1998, Mr. Bozell launched CNSnews.com, an online news service with an emphasis on investigative journalism. CNSnews.com has become a major internet news source with a full staff of journalists in its Washington, DC, metro bureau, with other correspondents around the world.
