The Media Research Center (MRC) is an American conservative content analysis and media watchdog group based in Herndon, Virginia, and founded in 1987 by L. Brent Bozell III.[2]
The nonprofit MRC has received financial support primarily from Robert Mercer,[3] but with several other conservative-leaning sources, including the Bradley, Scaife, Olin, Castle Rock and JM foundations, as well as ExxonMobil.[4][5][6] It has been described as "one of the most active and best-funded, and yet least known" arms of the modern conservative movement in the United States.[7] The organization rejects the scientific consensus on climate change and criticizes media coverage that reflects the scientific consensus.[5][8]
