http://jimromenesko.com/2014/02/13/brent-bozell-urges-liberal-media-to-tell-the-truth-while-he-fibs-about-writing-a-column/The conservative Media Research Center often urges liberal news outlets to TELL THE TRUTH, but the Reston, VA-based press watchdog isnt telling the truth about its own leader: Brent Bozell doesnt write the syndicated column that appears under his byline.
It is longtime MRC media analysis director Tim Graham who writes almost everything published under (Bozell's) name, a former MRC employee tells me in an email. That includes his weekly column. Same goes for his books, which at least carry Grahams name in a secondary billing, but also arent written by Bozell (but Bozell keeps 80-90% of the advance and all profits!)
Two other people with ties to MRC confirmed that Graham is Bozells ghostwriter and that Graham is not happy with the assignment.

Long a blight on the national political landscape. So if this graham guy isn't happy with the assignment, why isn't he complaining? And openly? Why does he stick around then? Guess he can't be THAT unhappy then, can he?
