President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would pick Media Research Center founder L. Brent Bozell III — who wrote a letter on behalf of his son, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter — to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

As Founder and President of the Media Research Center for 38 years, few understand the Global Media landscape in print, television, and online better than Brent, Trump said in an announcement on Truth Social. "He and his family have fought for the American principles of Liberty, Freedom, Equality, and Justice for generations, and he will ensure that message is heard by Freedom-loving people around the World."

Bozell said in a statement on X Wednesday that he was "honored" to be Trump's pick to lead the agency. "There is lots of work to be done. I look forward to meeting with Senators ahead of my confirmation hearing to explore how best to ensure the priorities of the President are met," Bozell said.

Bozell's son, L. Brent Bozell IV, was sentenced to 45 months in prison for assaulting law enforcement, destroying government property, and other charges related to his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021.

...Bozell is a professional liar and propagandist. It's what he already does for a living. I'm not surprised his kid has been brainwashed since birth.
He wouldn't be fit to run a Burger King unless they needed someone to brag about how healthy the burgers are.

I don't want to hear a single word come from his mouth.

(A few generations back??)

I think his son is around 70 or so.
I didn't know they had all those numbers and generations attached to them.

Bozell’s father (Bozell Jr.) wrote for Buckley.

Buckley’s sister, Patricia, married Bozell Jr.
L. Brent BozeII III is their son and Trump nominee.

His son, Leo Brent Bozell IV, was the one convicted of five FELONIES and sentenced to 45 months in prison. The whole family is a bunch of shits.

William Buckley would hate today’s GOP and conservatism. He fell out of favor - BIG TIME - when he came out and said Bush II’s grand adventure in Iraq was a failure.
