 Media Reality Check

Top reporters, editors, producers, talk show hosts and columnists, as well as members of Congress and heads of public policy organizations receive documented proof of the media's liberal bias in the News Analysis Division's usually weekly Media Reality Check. Written by Director of Media Analysis Rich Noyes, the Media Reality Check serves as an excellent reference for the most egregious examples of media bias.

"When I'm doing research, I don't just use the New York Times and the Washington Post. I use those who watch the mainstream media as well. As a news producer, I find it invaluable to get another look at what's going on. That's what the MRC's research does for me."
~ Elizabeth Baker, CNN Producer
