With more than 1,000,000 fans,
NewsBusters now finds itself in elite company, joining FoxNews.com, Rush
Limbaugh and Glenn Beck as one of few conservative media outlets to reach a
seven figure fandom on the world’s largest social network. Of that group,
NewsBusters often has the highest total fan engagement as measured by
Facebook’s “talking about this” count.
The milestone was reached as NewsBusters’
September web traffic rose 88% year-over-year. Month-to-date October traffic is
up 147% from the same period in 2011.
NewsBusters was launched in
August 2005 by the
Media Research Center President
Brent Bozell responds:
“This incredible achievement is a clear reflection of the American
public’s growing awareness of liberal media bias, and is a testament to the
hard work of MRC analysts and bloggers.
“The American people know that the liberal media are trying to rig
this election for Barack Obama, and NewsBusters has become an invaluable tool
in circumventing the corrupt liberal media who simply refuse to Tell the Truth [1]. I would
like to thank our fans for their support of NewsBusters and the MRC’s mission to
bring balance and responsibility to the news media by documenting and exposing
liberal media bias.”
