Media Research Center president David Bozell joined the Dr. Phil Podcast on Saturday to challenge the overwhelmingly negative and one‑sided coverage of immigration enforcement by the elitist media, including reporting on ICE operations and broader trends in how stories are framed.

Bozell detailed how outlets have painted ICE operations as uniformly brutal, ignoring the full context of the cases they’re enforcing.

Bozell also highlighted the role of the “Big Four” digital news aggregators: Google News, Apple News, MSN, and Yahoo News in shaping public perception.
