POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)
NOMINEES:
1. Katy Tur: Shutdown Revealed Trump’s “Dark Side”
“The shutdown did reveal quite a dark side of Donald Trump….Posting about the grim reaper coming to slash government jobs, laying off workers….Suing states to say, ‘No, you can’t release these SNAP funds.’...There was a certain callousness that went further than I’ve seen Donald Trump go in the past.”
— Host Katy Tur on MSNBC’s Katy Tur Reports, November 12.
2. Katie Couric Blames the Victim: “Charlie Kirk’s Rhetoric Was Extreme”
“I think some people might say Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was extreme. You know, I think that’s the conversation that happened. People condemned political violence, but they also felt a great deal of discomfort with his language, suggesting that these kinds of words lead to violence. I don’t know, I’m just kind of sharing my observations as I saw the conversations unfold.”
— Host Katie Couric to Sen. John Fetterman on her podcast Next Question with Katie Couric, November 13.
3. Sunny Hostin: America is a “Sick” and “Racist” Country
“I think it’s ridiculous that people don’t see what this country was founded on and what this country still is sickened with. It’s a sick country. It’s a racist country.”
— ABC’s The View co-host Sunny Hostin on Behind the Table podcast, November 18.
