We’ve got a brand new, fun interactive series for the new year called Worst Media Take of the Week, where you — our loyal NewsBusters visitors and MRC supporters — get to vote on which leftist journalist or celebrity had the worst media take of the week.
Much appreciation to all who voted last week via NewsBusters and the MRC’s various social media sites (Facebook, Instagram and X.com).
The results of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is…
Sunny Hostin!
The co-host of ABC’s The View won with 47 percent of the vote. The fight for second place was a battle between two Joys. Recently fired MSNBC host Joy Reid took second place with 36 percent of the vote. Coming in last place was ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar with 17 percent.
Hostin nabbed first place for insulting anybody who opposed wokeness as “ungodly” and “not Christian.”
WINNER (47 percent of the vote)
Opposing Wokeness “Is Ungodly” and “Not Christian!”
“It angers me when people are, like, ‘this woke stuff's gotta go.’ That’s telling me that you don’t care about my lived experience! You don’t care about the oppression of the LGBTQ community! You don’t care about the oppression of the disabled! You don’t care about the oppression of immigrants! You don’t care about your fellow neighbor, and that is ungodly! That is not Christian!”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, February 24.
SECOND PLACE (36 percent of the vote)
Joy Reid’s Farewell: “Fascism Isn’t Just Coming, It’s Already Here”
“Happy Monday, everyone! And we begin tonight with what I think is the question: when you are in the midst of a crisis and specifically a crisis of democracy, how do you resist — when fascism isn’t just coming, it’s already here?”
— Host Joy Reid opening her final show on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, February 24.
THIRD PLACE (17 percent of the vote)
Trump Can Take a Nap While He Lets “Enemy of the United States” Elon Do His Job
“Elon Musk kisses his [President Donald Trump’s] butt and strokes his tiny ego or big ego, whatever it is….He can take a nap while the guy who was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid….I think this is just perfectly wonderful for Trump. He can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign agent, you know, an enemy of the United States do his job!”
