Founder and president of the Media Research Center, Mr. Bozell runs the largest media watchdog organization in America.

MRC books include "And That's the Way It Isn'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."

In June 1998, Mr. Bozell launched the Conservative Communications Center (C3) to provide the conservative movement with the marketing and public relations tools necessary to deliver its message into the 21st century.
