Leo Brent Bozell III (/boʊˈzɛl/ boh-ZEL; born July 14, 1955)[citation needed] is an American conservative activist and writer.

[10] Reports that Bozell did not write his own material were confirmed by his Media Research Center colleagues.

On February 13, 2014, The Daily Beast reported, "Employees at the MRC were never under any illusion that Bozell had been writing his own copy.

'It's an open secret at the office that Graham writes Bozell's columns, and has done so for years,' said one former employee.

PTC was one of many organizations that filed complaints over the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show in which co-performer Justin Timberlake caused a brief exposure of Janet Jackson's right breast for which the FCC ultimately fined CBS.

It was ultimately determined that the girl had been stomped to death and had not been the victim of any professional wrestling move and was actually watching cartoons at the time the murder occurred.

PTC's insurance carrier eventually chose to settle the case, paying $3.5 million to the WWE, and issuing a public apology.

"[17] Bozell and the PTC were criticized in a book entitled Foley is Good: And the Real World Is Faker Than Wrestling (2001), a memoir published by former WWE wrestler Mick Foley who questioned the reasoning and research PTC used to associate SmackDown with violent acts performed by children watching the program.

[21][22] Bozell was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, describing him as "the greatest charlatan of them all," a "huckster," and a "shameless self-promoter".

[23] In August 2020, Bozell told a meeting of conservatives and donors that "leftists planned to steal this election."

Leo Brent Bozell IV was federally charged with obstructing an official proceeding, entering a restricted building, and disorderly conduct.

[28][29] He was convicted in September 2023 of ten charges, including five felonies[30] and was sentenced to 45 months in federal prison.
