    The War on Women Myth Pro-abortion groups and others on the Left keep trying to use this weapon on opponents – but is its ability to wound lessening?

A Message from L. Brent Bozell III MRC FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT There’s no doubt that the political and economic landscape changed dramatically in 2008. The Left took power amid economic chaos and the most biased election coverage I have seen – and that’s saying something after tracking media for 21 years. The media pulled out all stops to elect The One. The silver lining is that the public is on to them. As a nonprofi t, MRC did not work to elect or oppose any candidate. But we did our job so well that a majority of Americans now know that the liberal media emperor has no clothes. In fact, the media itself became an election story because MRC helped make it one, with thousands of timely articles, commentaries, interviews and grassroots activism. In 2008, MRC material was cited by blogs, newspa- pers, news services, TV news, magazines and other news sources 9,473 times, an average of 31 times a day.
