Leo Brent Bozell III (born July 14, 1955) is an American conservative writer and activist who founded the Media Research Center, Parents Television Council, and CNSNews. Bozell served as president of the Parents Television Council from 1995 to 2006. In addition, Bozell serves on the board for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and has served on the board of directors in the American Conservative Union.

Derived from a Kirkus review: An attempt to prove that the news-reporting media is more liberally biased than it is conservative. The author maintains that he is talking about liberal bias in hard reporting, not commentary. Bozell contends that leftists set the national agenda. Leaving aside the question of exactly what constitutes liberalism and conservatism, Bozell demonstrates that on some issues (the environment, gun ownership) and by using certain tactics (reporting allegations as if they were the truth) the media does display bias. Bozell give readers, listeners, or viewers credit for having intelligence enough to discern bias, which may be why he doesn't address the crucial question of competent reporting by journalists knowledgeable about the area they cover-the best way for news consumers to gain informed perspectives.
