Video: Bozell Discusses Media's Disinterest in Jump in Poverty Under O
September 14th, 2011 10:12 AM

"If Rush Limbaugh or you on your radio show said we have to take out Obama, you know darn well that tomorrow morning every editorial in America would be accusing you of inciting violence," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell said to Fox News host Sean Hannity last night.

Bozell: FCC Needs to Ensure 'Fairness Doctrine' Stays Dead
August 23rd, 2011 3:15 PM
Editor's Note: What follows is a statement Mr. Bozell released earlier today regarding the FCC's decision yesterday to remove the so-called Fairness Doctrine from the regulation books.

But since…
