Bozell offered no specific examples of any high-ranking military officials who have said Iraq is not in the midst of a civil war. http://mediamatters.org/items/200611290009 Wed, 29 Nov 2006 15:27:52 EST During interview with Boehlert, Miami radio host noted MRC "will not spar" with "anybody from Media Matters" http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210008 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 16:44:53 EST Olbermann crowned Bozell "Worst Person" runner-up for claiming NY Times is "rooting for the homosexual revolution" http://mediamatters.org/items/200607140003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200607140003 Fri, 14 Jul 2006 11:55:06 EST Bozell: By supporting "Gay Games" New York Times violates objectivity standards and "root[s] for the homosexual revolution" http://mediamatters.org/items/200607130004 Media Research Center founder and president L. Brent Bozell III wrote that The New York Times -- in the articles it publishes and through its sponsorship of events such as the 2006 Gay Games -- is "rooting for the homosexual revolution" and "actively spread[ing] the gay gospel." http://mediamatters.org/items/200607130004 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 12:10:21 EST Media largely ignore ex-CIA official's disclosure that White House dismissed contrary prewar intelligence on Iraq's WMD http://mediamatters.org/items/200604250006 On CBS' 60 Minutes, former high-ranking CIA official Tyler Drumheller proved that the Bush administration dismissed clear-cut evidence undermining President Bush's central case for war -- that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. But in the nearly two days since this explosive report aired, the media have almost entirely ignored the story. http://mediamatters.org/items/200604250006 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 15:55:28 EST Bozell ridiculed Begala, Carville for citing military historian van Creveld; U.S. Army, Navy would disagree with Bozell's assessment http://mediamatters.org/items/200603230002 In his column, Media Research Center president L. Brent Bozell III criticized CNN's Paul Begala for referring to Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor Martin van Creveld as "one of the most esteemed military historians in the world." Bozell then denigrated van Creveld as an "obscure" fringe figure. In fact, according to a bio that appeared with an op-ed by the professor, van Creveld "is the only non-American author on the U.S. Army's required reading list for officers." http://mediamatters.org/items/200603230002 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 09:57:30 EST Bozell claimed media refused to give Bush "the benefit of the doubt" on Iraq's ties to terror http://mediamatters.org/items/200603020004 L. Brent Bozell III claimed that "the media have been largely uninterested in investigating Saddam Hussein's reign of terror and his connection to terrorists" because of what Bozell described as their "refusal to give the Bush administration the benefit of the doubt." In fact, various media experts and major newspapers tell a very different story -- that the media failed to effectively question the administration's attempt to link Iraq to Al Qaeda in the run-up to the war, a link that has since been discredited by the September 11 Commission. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603020004 Thu, 2 Mar 2006 12:18:09 EST Bozell on Cheney hunting accident: "The incident was funny" http://mediamatters.org/items/200602150004 In his February 14 column, MRC president Brent Bozell wrote of Vice President Dick Cheney's February 11 hunting accident: "With apologies to the Cheney friend who received the pellet facial, the incident was funny." Bozell's column appeared well after news reports indicated that Texas lawyer Harry Whittington, the man Cheney shot, suffered a "cardiac event" brought on by birdshot lodged in his heart. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602150004 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 13:14:14 EST Bozell falsely compared Bush warrantless domestic surveillance program to Clinton response to OKC bombing http://mediamatters.org/items/200602080004 In his nationally syndicated column, the Media Research Center's Brent Bozell drew a false comparison between the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program and Bill Clinton's call for expanding anti-terror legislation following the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. In drawing the comparison, Bozell ignored key distinctions: Clinton publicly called for Congress to pass legislation; Bush secretly authorized a clandestine surveillance program without informing the public or seeking congressional approval. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602080004 Wed, 8 Feb 2006 13:39:38 EST
