We’ve got a new, fun interactive series 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…
Tiffany Cross!
Cross won with 66 percent of the vote! The former MSNBC host took first place for disgustingly claiming that “we are normalizing” the “disappearing of people” and sending them to “concentration camps.” Documentarian Ken Burns finished in second place with 18 percent. Former MSNBC host Joy Reid finished in third place with 16 percent.
The following is a montage of all the nominees:
WINNER (66 percent of the vote)
Tiffany Cross: “We are Normalizing” the “Disappearing of People” and Sending Them to “Concentration Camps”
“We are normalizing a government agency disappearing people. We are normalizing, we’re talking about it like it’s no big deal that they are kidnapping people and transporting them to concentration camps, both domestic and foreign….Everybody who says, ‘Oh this is not the America I know,’ I can guarantee you it is the America I know.”
— Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross on CNN’s Newsnight, July 8.
SECOND PLACE (18 percent of the vote)
Ken Burns: PBS Like the “Declaration of Independence” for “Communications World”
CBS Evening News anchor John Dickerson: “Make the case for PBS.”
Documentarian Ken Burns: “It is the Declaration of Independence applied to the communications world.”
— CBS’s Face the Nation, July 6.
THIRD PLACE (16 percent of the vote)
Joy Reid: MAGA Wouldn’t Even Consider It an “Insult” to Be Called “Fascists”
“I think about the fact that JD Vance once said that Donald Trump could be America’s Hitler. Who knew that he meant that as a compliment, right?...The second half of that sentence might have been, and ‘I will be his [Hermann] Goering.’...I actually don’t think at this point that, that the people in the MAGA movement would even consider it an insult to call them fascists.”
— Former MSNBC host Joy Reid on The Joy Reid Show podcast, July 9.
Thanks again to all who participated!
