(CNSNews.com) – Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell III laid down the gauntlet to the news media on Thursday over their coverage of the 2012 presidential race: Tell the truth about the candidates, or be exposed.

“It’s 2012, and already we’ve documented endless examples of the so-called ‘news media’ covering up the failures of the Obama presidency and attacking every conservative presidential candidate one by one by one,” Bozell said.

“These attacks, just as we predicted, aren’t based on policy debates, they’re personal,” he said, “an onslaught of character assassination against anyone who dares to challenge Obama.”

Bozell announced the start of the “Tell the Truth 2012 Campaign” – a $5 million campaign to document and expose liberal media bias and its role in the 2012 presidential election.

“It’s time for Americans to declare once and for all that the left wing so-called ‘news media’ are no longer going to pick winners and losers,” he said. “It’s time for Americans to demand of our news media that they return to the business of reporting – accurately, fairly, honestly.”
