It is longtime [Media Research Center] 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 Graham’s name in a secondary billing, but also aren’t written by Bozell (but Bozell keeps 80-90% of the advance and all profits!)”
Turns out right-wing media watchdog Brent Bozell doesn’t write his own material. As distasteful as this is, I’m more appalled by the response from the company that syndicates his material when presented with the accusation:
“It is absolutely false to say that Brent Bozell does not write his column. … I remember years ago when Brent suggested that he share the byline for his column with Tim, and I said it would be better for us to promote a single individual. We have decided, however, that since Tim works so closely with Brent on the column, we have changed it to a joint byline.”
That’s right; it’s an accusation so false that they changed the byline just because.
