POLL: What Was the Worst Media Quote of the Week?

On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, the MS NOW’s morning talk program led with the news of an ICE-involved shooting death in Maine. Frequent guest and The New York Times opinion writer Mara Gay used the shooting discussion to label “many” Trump officials as “white supremacists” before she related the shooting to the removal of Temporary Protected Status and “anti-democratic behavior.”

Over the years, the Media Research Center has caught journalists ridiculing and deriding America. The following is a countdown of the Media’s  Worst Anti-American Outbursts (as culled from the MRC’s archives).

In more of the aftermath of Democratic Socialist victories in New York City primaries, Thursday’s Morning Joe downplayed the rise of the DSA in Democratic politics, alike to many others in the media. While some of the show’s panelists had mixed feelings on what DSA victories meant, co-host Joe Scarborough was not afraid to mention radical DSA policies supported by Democratic House primary…

On Monday's Morning Joe, MS NOW analyst and member of the New York Times editorial board Mara Gay claims that Somalis are being "scapegoated" over welfare-program fraud in Minnesota.

The extremely poor choices made by a few bad apples gave MSNBC what it had been waiting for: a feeble excuse to wail on the right. Tuesday’s Morning Joe brought on a few guests who were more than willing to censure Republican leadership for somehow allowing the inexcusable behavior to occur, and in the process suggest it was the future of the party.

And, even though no one died in the raid, they also promoted hyperbolic comparisons to the Gestapo, the Tulsa killings of 1921, and the MOVE Philadelphia bombing of 1985.

On Monday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe invited New York Times opinion writer, Mara Gay, who did not hold back her left-wing bias regarding the continuous arrests and deportations made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Gay went as far as to claim that the policy in the White House implemented was about “othering people who are not seen as American enough.”  

Well of course. Here’s the headline from Fox News: "NYT editorial board member says it's 'silly' for journalists to hold Harris and Trump equally accountable." 

Morning Joe oozes with excitement over Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee. Eugene Robinson caps it by saying that the feeling among Dems is that Kamala can not just beat Trump, she can "slam" him. There was much excitement over Kamala's fundraising haul since Biden's exit. Scarborough literally poor-mouthed himself, saying that as "a poor country lawyer," he can't even…

On Morning Joe, Mara Gay, an MSNBC analyst and member of the editorial board of the New York Times, says of Trump: "He's like a caged animal. And that's a dangerous situation. He's feeling very threatened. He's out of control. And so we do expect him to lash out."

On Morning Joe, Mara Gay of the New York Times editorial board describes the resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay as the result of racist slander by conservatives.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough is surprisingly skeptical about the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court barring Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot there on the grounds that he is barred from office under the 14th Amendment for having committed insurrection against the Constitution. Scarborough suggests that a finding of insurrection should be made by a jury convicting him of…
