Summary

Media Research Center President David Bozell appeared Monday on Just the News, No Noise with hosts John Solomon and Amanda Head, delivering a sharp critique of how mainstream media has covered President Trump’s military actions against Iran and the recent “No Kings” protests. Bozell highlighted the Media Research Center’s analysis showing overwhelmingly negative and misleading coverage of the U.S. operation in Iran. He pointed out that President Trump, in a nine-minute address to the nation, clearly laid out three primary objectives: completely eradicating Iran’s nuclear capabilities, neutralizing their missile threat to neighboring countries, and supporting the Iranian people’s right to choose their own future. Despite the administration, including Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio, and others, repeatedly emphasizing these goals, Bozell said the media has portrayed the president as directionless, lacking any coherent plan, and even suggested he is “negotiating” with Iran while Iranian officials deny it. “The coverage has been anti-American from the jump,” Bozell stated. He noted that this bias has extended to late-night comedy shows, where hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have delivered humor that is “98% anti-American.” The leftist media gave more coverage to the 'No Kings' protest than to Sheridan Gorman. @DavidBozell @jsolomonReports @AmandaHead @JustTheNews pic.twitter.com/GtgFvueCi7— Media Research Center (@theMRC) March 30, 2026 Bozell also criticized the media’s glowing coverage of the “No Kings” protests, describing the demonstrators as an odd mix of older homeowners worried about property values and “blue-haired, pink-haired psychos” marching through suburbs. He argued the press has treated the events as an organic, beautiful display of American democracy, giving them far more favorable attention than long-running pro-life marches like the March for Life. In stark contrast, Bozell referenced a recent MRC study showing that CNN and MSNBC have yet to air a single segment on the murder of Chicago college student Sheridan Gorman, allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant. While “No Kings” protests receive wall-to-wall coverage, stories highlighting the consequences of Democratic policies are often ignored or downplayed.
