MTV News is the news division of MTV, the first and most popular music television network in the U.S., as well as some of MTV's related channels around the world. MTV News began in the late 1980s with the program The Week In Rock, hosted by Kurt Loder, the first official MTV News correspondent.

It first began covering political news in the 1992 American presidential elections, through its "Choose or Lose campaign.[1][2] Since then, MTV has run "Choose or Lose" for other presidential elections in the United States. For the 2008 election, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton appeared on an MTV special to discuss the Iraq war.[3]

L. Brent Bozell III of the Media Research Center has criticized MTV News for perceived liberal bias in their reporting.[2][4][5]
