We prepared this special translation guide just for you, so the next time you're watching the news you'll be able to follow along!

NOT SATIRE: The Media Research Center is the ONLY conservative non-profit dedicated to exposing leftwing bias and liars in the media.

Thanks to MRC, 90% of Americans do NOT trust the Fake News media. We can't let the media determine our elections, pass their agenda, and censor conservatives.

You can help the Media Research Center expose leftwing bias in the media by making a donation of $20.22, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or ANY amount today.

My goal is to raise $10,000 from Bee readers in the next 72 hours. Please donate today!

Thank you,

Brent Bozell
