David Bozell on VINCE Podcast: IOC Finally Protects Women’s Sports, Media Twists the Truth

March 27th, 2026 3:00 PM

In a major victory for fairness in women’s athletics, the International Olympic Committee announced a new policy on Thursday: eligibility for female Olympic events will now be limited to biological females, verified through mandatory gene screening. The era of men competing in women’s sports appears to be ending.

On Friday’s edition of Vince, podcast host Vince Coglianese highlighted the absurdity of the mainstream media’s coverage. The Associated Press ran a headline that read: “Trans women athletes are banned from the Olympics by a new IOC policy on female eligibility.” As Coglianese pointed out, a casual reader could easily misinterpret that to mean actual women athletes were being barred from competing against women.

David Bozell, President of the Media Research Center (MRC), called out the deliberate deception. “The deceit is part of the scam,” he said. “They’re trying to convince you to reject reality.” 

Biological males can still compete — they simply must do so in the category matching their birth sex. Most outlets ran with the loaded word “banned,” while ESPN opted for the softer “excluded.”

Bozell praised President Trump for leading the charge against men in women’s sports, noting, “All kudos and credit to the President on this one. No one carried this message further and wider than the President of the United States, and he deserves public credit for that.” Bozell also credited the conservative base and movement for amplifying the issue effectively, reaching millions in record time.

Coglianese reminded listeners how media manipulation can sway elections. He referenced MRC’s past research on the Hunter Biden laptop story, which found that if more voters had known the truth in 2020, the election outcome could have shifted dramatically in Trump’s favor.

The IOC’s decision marks a long-overdue return to common sense and basic biology. Yet the media’s continued linguistic games show they’re still fighting to obscure reality rather than report it.
