(CNSNews.com) – The Media Research Center (MRC), a watchdog group that tracks liberal bias in the news, had two massive billboards erected in New York City’s Times Square on Tuesday. The billboards say “Don’t Believe the Liberal Media!” and they are expected to be viewed by 1.3 million onlookers over the next four weeks, according to the MRC.

“There is no better location for this billboard than the liberal media’s own backyard,” said MRC President Brent Bozell in a statement. “We promised this 2012 campaign would be the most expansive, most exhaustive and consequently the most expensive operation in our 25 years. We will keep that promise because this is the most important election in our lifetime and the American people are sick and tired of the left-wing media deciding who will govern our country.”

(Disclosure: The MRC is the parent organization of CNSNews.com.)

The 2012 campaign mentioned by Bozell is the organization’s “Tell The Truth! 2012” project, which was launched in late January and will continue until the end of the year. The purpose of the campaign, estimated to cost $5 million total, is to make Americans aware of instances of apparent liberal bias in the news media, as documented by the MRC, and to make the issue of liberal media bias part of the national conversation this election year.
