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…
Whoopi Goldberg!
The comedian and co-host of ABC’s The View won with 58 percent of the vote! Goldberg took first place for her lame attempt to brush-off the Democratic party and legacy media’s attempt to hide Joe Biden’s mental decline. Goldberg huffed: “Why is this important to know now?”
CBS News political contributor/former VP Kamala Harris communications director Ashley Etienne finished in second place with 28 percent of the vote. Former NBC’s Today and CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric finished third with 14 percent.
The following is a montage of all the nominees:
WINNER (58 percent of the vote)
Whoopi: Why is It “Important to Know” About Biden’s Decline Now?
“So should anonymous sources who talked to [Jake] Tapper have spoken up about their concerns while he [Joe Biden] was in office - while he was in still in office? And my other question is, why is this important to know now?”
— Co-host Whoopi Goldberg on ABC’s The View, May 20.
SECOND PLACE (28 percent of the vote)
Ashley Etienne: Trump Released Biden Memory Lapse Tape to “Distract” From His “Disastrous First 100 Days”
“It’s clear to me that President Trump released the [Special Counsel Robert Hur/President Joe Biden] tape because he’s trying to distract from his disastrous - unprecedented disastrous first 100 days.”
— CBS News political contributor/former VP Kamala Harris communications director Ashley Etienne on NBC’s Meet the Press, May 18.
THIRD PLACE (14 percent of the vote)
Katie Couric: “There’s No Such Thing as True Objectivity”
“Pointing out the facts and what is really happening is automatically interpreted as being biased, right? And, and of course, I think there’s no such thing a true objectivity, but having said that, - you know I really struggle with that.”
— Former NBC’s Today show co-host and CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric on Next Question podcast, May 15.
