The Media Research Center (MRC) is a non-profit organization based in the United States that focuses on monitoring and analyzing media bias. Founded in 1987 by Brent Bozell, the MRC aims to promote conservative viewpoints in the media landscape and to hold media outlets accountable for perceived liberal bias in their reporting. The organization conducts research, produces reports, and offers various resources to support its mission. It also runs several projects, including the NewsBusters blog, which critiques media coverage and highlights instances of bias. The MRC seeks to influence public opinion and policy through its findings and advocacy efforts.
