L.Brent Bozell III's Media Research Center was confounding liberal media types well before any bloggers hooked up their modems. Nailing ideologues left and far left is the Center's specialty, especially at its annual Media DisHonors Awards gala, which took place Thursday at the J.W. Marriott. Good thing some journalists still haven't gotten the memo about liberal bias. Conservative talk titans Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz and recent Time cover girl Ann Coulter were all there to stick it to scribes who can't help letting their guard down-- and biases show.
CBS' Dan Rather, who left his anchor chair last month after airing a story based on fraudulent National Guard documents about President Bush, took the heaviest fire. The tough-talking Texan walked away with Quote of the Year honors for the embarrassing fiasco, although many guests admitted between guffaws that they will miss their favorite liberal target. A 950-plus strong band of MRC supporters, which included GOP strategist Mary Matalin, former Virginia Gov. James Gilmore and radio host G. Gordon Liddy, roared at the assembled clips and commentary. "They did it again. They knew we needed material to dishonor tonight," returning emcee Cal Thomas quipped as he kicked off the program. "They'll be in denial until they turn off the last light." Among the nominees were radio host Janeane Garofalo, who declared the president "unelectable" after his re-election; and Walter Cronkite, who suggested GOP adviser Karl Rove somehow got Osama bin Laden to make a video denouncing President Bush before the election.

Bravo!
Hannity smiling through the tears again :)
Let us always remember those who went into the trenches and slugged it out for years with the MSM in a largely unknown war. Unknown to most, because that started well before the internet age, and the MSM could pretend to ignore their detractors. Bozell, the nephew of William F. Buckley, was a trail blazer in exposing the left-wing media. Kudo.
bump for later
His nephew? I've been a fan of Bozell for years and never hear they are related...makes sense, they are both destined to be legends.
Buckley co-authored a book, McCarthy and His Enemies, with his brother-in-law, attorney Brent Bozell Jr. (Bozell married Buckley's sister, Patricia Buckley).
Buckley's nephew, L. Brent Bozell, III (son of Brent and Patricia Bozell); is an author, political commentator, and founder of the Media Research Center.
Brent is just amazing...everytime he speaks he cuts right to the heart of the matter. Thanks for the info on the relation w/Buckley. (maybe this is one gene pool worth cloning? just kidding!)
