There is consensus that the Media Research Center and its subdivisions (e.g. CNSNews.com, MRCTV, and NewsBusters) are generally unreliable for factual reporting. Some editors believe these sources publish false or fabricated information. As [[WP:BIASED|biased or opinionated sources]], their statements should be [[WP:INTEXT|attributed]].
