Rich Noyes, the MRC’s Research Director, is responsible for supervising media analysts and researching and writing
MRC Special Reports. He is also one of the editors of the
Media Reality
Check, a weekly fax report on news coverage which documents how issues are distorted and ignored, and
Notable Quotables, MRC’s bi-weekly compilation of the latest outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes in the liberal media.
Since joining to the MRC in 1999,
Mr. Noyes was co-editor, with economist Stephen Moore, of
Dollars & Nonsense: Correcting the News Media's Top Economic
Myths, a book of essays by leading economists designed
to correct the economic illiteracy that pervades much of the
liberal media. He has written several in-depth studies on media
bias, including “TV’s
Bad News Brigade: ABC, CBS and NBC’s Defeatist Coverage of the
War in Iraq,” “Megaphone
for a Dictator: CNN’s Coverage of Castro’s Cuba, 1997-2002,”
and “Clamoring
for Kyoto: The Networks One-Sided Coverage of Global Warming.”
Mr. Noyes has discussed the media’s liberal bias on CNN, MSNBC,
the Fox News Channel, and a variety of radio talk shows. He has
also authored articles which have appeared in the Washington
Times, the New York Post, Investor’s Business Daily and Human
Events.
Before he arrived the Media Research Center, Mr. Noyes studied the media at the Center for Media and Public Affairs, where he co-authored two books:
The Video Campaign: Network Coverage of the 1988 Primaries, and
Good Intentions Make Bad News: Why Americans Hate Campaign
Journalism, published in 1995. He has also written for the Journal of Political
Science, the American Enterprise, Forbes
MediaCritic, and Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper.
A native of Agawam, Massachusetts, Mr. Noyes obtained a bachelor’s degree in political science from the George Washington University in 1987, and earned a master’s degree from Georgetown University in 1990. He currently lives in Falls Church, Virginia.
