Reminder that Brent Bozell III (son of Buckley‘s close friend, brother in law and fellow activist Bozell II) was known for his vocal defense of apartheid in the 1980s. It’s not a coincidence that this administration made this man (not a diplomat, but a right-wing activist) ambassador to South Africa
“In his 1st detailed public comments on US-South Africa ties since arriving, Brent Bozell III said South Africa should change some of its affirmative action laws that were designed to redress the inequalities of South Africa’s decades of racial segregation under apartheid.”
Outrageous interference!

Dude is William F. Buckley's nephew.
Bozell's son, Leo Brent Bozell IV, participated in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. He was convicted in September 2023 of ten charges, including five felonies and was sentenced to 45 months in federal prison. Bozell IV later received a pardon from Trump.

FWIW, Bozell spent much of his childhood in Franco's Spain where he was raised by his father, L. Brent Bozell II, the ghostwriter of Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative" and publisher of an English-language, pro-Franco magazine called "Triumph."
Congress has been notified that President Trump’s nomination of Leo Brent Bozell III to be the CEO of the US Agency for Global Media has been withdrawn. www.congress.gov/nomination/1...

Bozell is a true freak. And he’s about to control the media outlets America broadcasts to the rest of the world.
Conservative activist Brent Bozell, founder of the watchdog group Media Research Center, is Trump's pick to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which includes VOA. (Remember, he wants Kari Lake to take over VOA.)

Exactly right.
I teach a class that's basically the New Deal to Nixon and I assign primary source pieces by Herbert Hoover, the Liberty League, Joe McCarthy, Russell Kirk, William F. Buckley, Milton Friedman, Barry Goldwater, Brent Bozell, Ronald Reagan, George Gilder, Lewis Powell, etc etc.

Douthat also fundamentally misunderstands how college teaching generally works, even in the relatively narrow areas that he targets (but mistakenly assumes to be the whole of higher education). Take my field history, for example, where we often emphasize the analysis of primary sources./4

This piece by David Bozell (yes, one of those Bozells) is incredibly bad throughout but I really love how he spreads two falsehoods of his own in one sentence.
No, Kimmel did not say Kirk was shot by a supporter and no, we have no proof the shooter was left wing.

His father was far right uber-Catholic L. Brent Bozell Jr., who was part of The National Review's debut with Bill Buckley -- who is Brent Bozell III's uncle. Making him ambassador to South Africa was an obscene Trump troll job. Bozell was an outspoken apartheid defender in the 1980s.
