About the Media Research Center

The Media Research Center is a research and education organization that has been been the nation’s premier media watchdog since 1987.

We could not accomplish our mission of exposing and neutralizing the propaganda arm of the left, the national news media, without the help of our talented interns. Interns come to MRC during the spring, summer, and fall semesters and work alongside MRC staff in a rewarding and fast-paced environment.

The Media Research Center’s unwavering commitment to neutralizing left-wing bias in the news media and popular culture has influenced how millions of Americans perceive so-called objective reporting.

We integrate cutting-edge news monitoring capabilities with a sophisticated marketing operation and reach nearly 203.6 million Americans each week to educate them about left-wing bias in the media.
