The Media Research Center (MRC) is America’s premier media watchdog. Since 1987, MRC has exposed left-wing bias in news and pop culture, defended free speech, and fought Big Tech censorship of conservatives. With powerful tools like its TV news archive and CensorTrack database, MRC provides hard evidence of bias and censorship. We educate the public and shape the national conversation across platforms that generate over 500 million weekly impressions.
