We’ve got a new 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…
Sunny Hostin!
The ABC’s The View co-host won with 55 percent of the vote. Hostin took first place for absurdly warning the View audience that President Donald Trump has no “plans” to leave office. Hostin is on a bit of a roll, as she finished in first place last week. Actor Bradley Whitford came in second place with 30 percent. CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang finished in last place with 15 percent.
The following is a montage of all the nominees:
WINNER (55 percent of the vote)
Sunny Hostin: Donald Trump Is Never Going to Leave the White House
“I actually have come to the conclusion that he [Donald Trump] is most definitely going to try to remain in power, because remember, that East Wing – it’s going to take a long time to build that. He is hooking up the White House because he doesn’t plan on leaving it. I don’t think he plans on leaving.”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, October 27.
SECOND PLACE (30 percent of the vote)
Bradley Whitford: East Wing Demolition Is a Distraction from Trump Being Friends with Epstein
“We have a President who is a corrupt authoritarian, in my view, who has a kind of contempt for democratic values and its symbols. And I think he thinks he has the right to destroy the people’s house, do some influence peddling along the way, build a ballroom as a monument to distract us from the fact that inflation is up, job creation is down, Congress has shut down the government, and we’re suppressing information about the fact that, you know, he was best friends with the most notorious child rapist [Jeffrey Epstein] in history.”
— Actor Bradley Whitford on CNN’s Inside Politics with Dana Bash, October 24.
THIRD PLACE (15 percent of the vote)
Weijia Jiang: Can Trump Tear Down Anything He Wants? Like the Jefferson Memorial?
“Can the President tear down anything he wants, without oversight? Could he demolish this building or say the Jefferson Memorial?”
— CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, October 23.
