POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)
NOMINEES:
1. Lawrence O’Donnell: Trump’s “Demolition” of White House Drove Voter Turnout Against Republicans
“I was struck by something Vaughn Hillyard reported from a voter in New Jersey saying that this voter was out there today voting because of, quote, this is what Vaughn said, the phrase he used, ‘the White House demolition.’ Donald Trump tearing down the East Wing of the White House, that sent a voter to the polls in New Jersey. Surely it sent thousands of voters to the polls all around the country.”
— Host Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC’s election night coverage, November 4.
2. Sunny Hostin Urges Democrats: “When They Go Low, You Go Lower!”
“The other huge takeaway for me, that I don’t think enough people are talking about, is what happened in California with Prop 50….That, for me, was a huge, huge takeaway, because that is the road map for how Democrats become the opposition party. You meet energy with energy. When they go low, you go lower!”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, November 5.
3. Stephen Colbert: “I’m More Conservative Than People Think”
“The demographics of these shows are interesting, too. It’s about a third, a third, a third. It’s about a third Republicans, a third Democrats, a third independents. You’d think, you know, old, you know, people perceive me as this sort of lefty figure. I think I'm more conservative than people think.”
— CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert on GQ Interview, November 3.
