MTV Lists Why Miley Cyrus Deserved 'Person of the Year' Prize
December 6th, 2013 4:28 PM
No one has appreciated, encouraged, perhaps even plotted Miley Cyrus making a clown out of herself more than MTV. So they posted this little Thank You card on their Buzzworthy blog when it was reported that she was beat at the last minute in Time’s “Person of the Year” polling by two Middle Eastern politicians. (This poll has zero integrity.)
MTV's Rachel Brodsky oozed that the former Disney…

Bozell Column: Forever Tawdry MTV
August 31st, 2013 8:28 AM
The tawdry sexual dancing of Miley Cyrus on the 2013 edition of MTV’s Video Music Awards has been denounced by nearly everyone – conservatives, liberals, and libertines (who flunked it for lacking “hotness"). That theme is exhausted. Let’s shift the discussion back to where it belongs: the cultural cesspool that is MTV.
Every year, MTV prepares sleazy awards-show stunts like this to acquire…
VMAs: Cyrus Gives Hannah Montana the (Foam) Finger
August 26th, 2013 11:02 AM
Editor’s note: the video after the jump may offend some people.
Dear Miley Cyrus: We get it already. You’re not a kid anymore. That Teddy Bear-to-porn maven motif at the 2013 MTV VMAs was so unsubtle even the kind of people who like the VMAs couldn’t miss it. Ditto the latex bikini and relentless “twerking.” Besides, you’re belaboring the point. It’s been abundantly clear for some time you…

Disgusting MTV: Pop Star Drinks Her Own Urine
May 26th, 2013 2:02 PM
MTV is always crossing the boundaries of taste to build a “buzz” around their youth-oriented shows. On Tuesday night's episode of their “reality” show "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," the sleazy pop singer decided to urinate into a plastic bottle in front of her friends on a car trip and take a sip. "It was really gross," this genius concluded.
This could just a faked-for-ratings stunt. But…

Only Truth in ‘True Life’ is MTV’s Contempt for Conservatives
February 1st, 2013 4:52 PM
What’s more embarrassing, hateful, ignorant and racist than a “right-winger”? Not much, according to MTV. The youth oriented network’s reality show “True Life” ran an episode called “I hate the government” last Friday which detailed the lives of three “right-wingers.”
The episode description reads: “Amelia, Caleb and Andrew are three right-wingers who despise the very thing that holds our…

Chelsea Handler Laughs About the Abortion She Had as a Teenager
November 1st, 2012 11:44 PM
Appearing on the Conan O'Brien show on Wednesday night, talk show host Chelsea Handler started laughing at the most inopportune time. Judging by the somber look on O'Brien's face, the comedienne hadn't just cracked a joke. No, the unfortunate reason for her giggling was in remembrance of a child who was deprived the chance to live.
Asked to recollect her adolescence, Handler couldn't resist…

MTV Targets Youth Vote with Lefty Ad During Video Music Awards
September 7th, 2012 2:31 PM
MTV really wants young people to head to the voting booth in droves. This would be a good thing if MTV execs didn’t blatantly schill for lefty ideology in their new “Power of 12” promo.
The new get-out-the-vote ad aired at the 2012 Video Music Awards, and hawked the slogan the “power of 45 million young people will decide the outcome of the 2012 election.” It featured a series of images…
Lower Ed: MTV Teaches Savage Sex to Adolescents
July 11th, 2012 3:32 PM
He’s a guy that spews hate against Christians, Republicans, and even other gay people who think differently than he. He’s asserted that “monogamy is ridiculous” and “unnatural.” He’s remarked that the vagina is a “hole that sh**ts babies.”
And MTV thinks he’s the ideal person to teach adolescents about sex.

CNN Cites MRC in Takedown of MTV Show About Losing Virginity
May 25th, 2012 10:37 AM
On Thursday, CNN anchor Carol Costello credited Dan Gainor, the head of the Culture and Media Institute, as a leader in the charge against a new MTV series, which was supposed to follow virgins seeking to lose their virginity. Costello read Gainor’s quote on air: “This is part of the media attempt to mock people who have morals and to treat virginity like a disease that must be cured. She…

Lady Gaga's Christmas Offering: 'Stuck on F***in' You
December 26th, 2011 5:38 PM
Lady Gaga is at it again, trying to offend to get attention. Her latest song, which she leaked on Christmas Day to listeners, “Stuck on F***in You," is another effort to glorify casual sex and profanity.
Huffington Post reported positively on Gaga’s latest effort. “Think of her as a raw, hyper-sexualized Santa Claus, slinking down the chimney to mingle with the flames of your yule log. Lady…

Bozell Column: MTV, Both Sleazy and Sour
December 10th, 2011 8:56 AM
Once upon a time, women were considered the “fairer sex,” the “better half.” Stewardesses were talented and beautiful. Wives were softer, more gentle. Men fought for their honor. Feminism crushed all of that. It is a testimony to their movement that in today’s post-feminist entertainment media, part of what makes television so corrosive and sour is just how piggish the women have become.
The…

Bozell Column: MTV's Sordid 'Skins
January 21st, 2011 4:33 PM
The cultural Left would like you to think that children should be free to experiment persistently in the Laboratory of Life without soul-stifling rules. They have limits to libertine behavior, to be sure. No high school bake sales (encourages obesity), no bottled water (destroys the environment), and absolutely no uncivil bullying of people who are different than you (unless they belong to the…

On 'Hannity,' MRC's Bozell Demands Feds Investigate MTV's 'Skins' for
January 21st, 2011 4:21 PM
MTV's racy new teen drama "Skins" should be investigated by federal authorities for potentially violating child porn laws, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center president Brent Bozell insisted in the second half of the "Media Mash" segment on the January 20 edition of "Hannity."
MTV "broadcast[s] the fact that it is underage teenagers that they are putting on the air" portraying…
