With our first annual Bulldog Awards in six categories, the Media Research Center is honoring conservatives in the media who truly deserve accolades yet will never receive them from the media establishment.
The six winners of the MRC’s 2022 Bulldog Awards, as determined by the senior staff of the MRC who assessed recommended submissions from the readers of NewsBusters and supporters of the Media Research Center: Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, Miranda Devine, Luke Rosiak, Stephen Gutowski and Drew Holden.
Left-wing journalists are regularly honored for their liberal advocacy with awards throughout the year. Recently, the biggest journalism awards, the Pulitzer Prizes, were announced. Inevitably, they honored left-wing journalists who pushed the liberal agenda. (The Washington Post won “for its compellingly told and vividly presented account of the assault on Washington on January 6, 2021” and the Houston Chronicle earned a prize for how they “revealed voter suppression tactics, rejected the myth of widespread voter fraud and argued for sensible voting reforms.”)
In announcing the winners of the Bulldog Awards, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell explained: “Today’s MRC Bulldog Award recipients have been selected after careful consideration. Their impactful work is trusted and respected by Americans nationwide, unlike the work of the left-wing operatives that call themselves ‘journalists.’ As the liberal media celebrate themselves with Pulitzers, we wanted to shine a light on the real truth-tellers who are greatly dedicated to informing the American public on stories the legacy media ignores. Congratulations to this year’s winners!”

♦ MRC Bulldog Award for Outstanding Social Media Personality: Drew Holden
A media reporter with the Washington Free Beacon after stops on Capitol Hill and in the world of campaign strategy, Drew Holden is best-known for having accumulated over 155,000 Twitter followers for his tweets which “spread receipts” by using his archival mind to showcase the many hypocrisies of the journalists and politicians, contrasting their takes today with what they said previously.
