John,

There is no doubt in our minds, and there should be none in yours.

The American electorate was intentionally kept in the dark. During the height of the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings, the media and the big tech companies did everything in their power to cover it up. 

Twitter and Facebook limited sharing of the New York Post’s reports, and the liberal media omitted it from their coverage or dismissed it as “Russian disinformation.”

The MRC commissioned a nationwide post-election poll to gauge how the media’s Hunter Biden cover-up impacted the election:

Our research revealed that 36 percent of Biden voters were NOT aware of the evidence linking Joe Biden to corrupt financial dealings with China through his son Hunter. Thirteen percent of these voters say that they would not have voted for the former vice president if they had known these facts.

A second MRC-commissioned election survey polled 1,750 self-identified Biden voters in the seven swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Michigan and queried them on eight key news stories:

When presented with five positive stories about Trump and three negative stories about Biden, 17% of these voters revealed that they would have shifted their vote away from Biden if they had known about any of them.

If we had a fair and objective media in this country, Trump wins in a landslide — that’s the defining lesson of 2020. The media and Big Tech companies control what the public knows, so THEY decide our elections.

But no more. Thanks to MRC efforts, and studies such as these, the American public is waking up to the deceit and fraud being perpetrated on them by the press. Big Tech and media censorship is the NUMBER ONE existential threat facing conservatives and America today. 

We live for this kind of fight, and we’re ready for it. But without you, we are dead in the water. With you, we will be triumphant!

John, MRC is circumventing the deep swamp and their minions in the press and spreading the gospel truth. As you can see, when the public knows the truth, conservatism wins. Truth is our ally and the adversary of the Left. Help MRC put America back on the course that made it the envy of the world. Please help us finish what we started and free America from being held captive by a socialist media by making a generous gift today. ‘Tis the season. And remember, your donation is tax-deductible — a nice gift to yourself at the end of the year! 

MRC has the fortitude, resolve and truth on our side, and a dedicated, hard-working staff of conservatives. What we need is you.

John, we know you believe in our mission, that’s why you are here. 

John, the information the corrupt media withheld from the American people, without a shadow of a doubt, would have changed the outcome of this election... 

The critical issue here is not just holding the media accountable — but getting the truth to the American public. 

But there is a silver lining to the election, some good news. Big media completely failed to achieve its goal of a massive “Blue Wave” election. 

The MRC believes in our heart of hearts that this is due to the work we did this year… our tireless efforts to catch the media in their lies every day for the last 12 months. Reaching tens of millions of Americans each week. 

We are reaching the American public through television, on radio, over the Internet, and through social media. A massive effort, bigger than anything we have ever done. And all made possible by people like you, John — with each dollar donated making a HUGE, and immediate, difference.

Though there are still two run-off elections in Georgia, the GOP will likely retain control of the Senate. Instead of the 15-seat gain in the House that Nancy Pelosi was predicting, Democrats lost at least 11 seats (votes are still being counted).

Despite an all-out, massively funded effort by Democrats to flip GOP held state houses across the country, they flipped none. The GOP actually gained ground in the states.

Voters rejected by large margins a massive tax increase in Deep Blue Illinois and affirmative action in Deep Blue California.

Exit polls showed voters overwhelmingly rejecting the Democrats’ socialist agenda. The agenda so lovingly embraced by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Google, Facebook, Twitter, the New York Times, the Washington Post and so many more.

Despite left-wing media victory laps, it was a very close election. The Biden landslide polls they loved reporting day after day were dead wrong.

Conservative commentator Mollie Hemingway puts it this way:

“When it comes to the media and conservative voters and their politicians, the media lie, they lie, they lie, and then they lie. They were shocked by what happened because they spent the last four years lying about the success of the Donald Trump administration.

They created false narratives, such as the Russia collusion hoax, Anonymous, the Kavanaugh situation, the Covington kid, and they lied through intentionally false polling, which said that this was going to be a blowout for Democrats.”

John, Mollie is right. There was no “Blue Wave.” Instead, the voters said NO to socialism, with record numbers of Hispanics and African Americans voting Republican for the first time. 

Voters rejected the media narrative, and we — with your help — were a big part of the reason!

During 2020, the MRC was featured or mentioned 364 times on television and 965 times on radio and podcasts. This includes MRC expert appearances and highlights of our work. Our research was cited 1,364 times in major print and online outlets.

We reported dozens of stories the media would not cover. Including the Hunter Biden foreign deals, new details of the sexual harassment claims made against Joe Biden, and media double standards on reporting on COVID-19.

Our reporting redefined the national debate over the course of this year! We constantly challenged the media’s hatred of Trump and conservative bashing. Especially in these areas:

1. The wrongful maligning of police officers,  
2. The government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, 
3. The continuing record-level of federal spending, taxation, and debt, 
4. Statements made and policy positions taken by liberal members of Congress, 
5. Statements and policy positions taken by President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. 

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany recognized the Media Research Center in multiple news briefings over the course of the year and used our research to smackdown and straighten out the smug press.

Yes, the media’s relentless character assassination campaign against Donald Trump, which began even before he took office, may have succeeded. Barely.

As we write this, voting irregularities have been challenged by the Trump campaign in several states. But their attempt to transform America into the Left’s dream of a socialist utopia failed miserably. 

Not surprisingly, the elite media are doing all they can now to bury the many serious cases of campaign irregularities brought forward by the Trump campaign. They don’t want the public to hear about backdated ballots, 3am ballot dumps, statistical impossibilities, mystery USB drives, and other issues that would cause them to doubt their chosen candidate’s election.

Never have the media been held in lower esteem!

Because of MRC efforts, the harder they tried to tell America how to vote, the more extreme they became, the more willing to just outright lie instead of telling the truth, the fewer people believed them.

We hear many conservative pundits — and a growing number of liberals — predicting the national media will never recover their reputation, thanks to their outrageous behavior and outright bias during this election. They will never again have the ability to drive the political agenda of our nation.

Even with a narrow loss in this election, Donald Trump’s presidency will be significant. If for no other reason than it will now be impossible for any reasonable person to claim the media aren’t actively advancing a left-wing political agenda.

John, are you satisfied with how the media covered this year’s “peaceful protests,” pandemic, or election? Were they politicized to create a narrative? Do you feel the media/Big Tech were working to influence hearts and minds through the control of content? The Leftist media is hard at work trying to uproot our constitutional republic and replace it with a socialist “utopia.”

The buck stops here.
