POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)
NOMINEES:
1. Will Trump Immigration Limits Stop the Next Albert Einstein From Coming to America?
“When you look at Einstein and you look at Henry Kissinger, they were refugees to this country. Donald Trump set refugee admissions at very low levels first term. He’s talking about blocking refugee admissions this term. Is that a mistake?”
— Host Margaret Brennan to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich on CBS’s Face the Nation, January 12.
2. Joy Is Sad: I Miss Joe Biden Already
“I miss him already. I miss him. He’s a good person. You know, he spent the last 50 years caring about the country. This other one spent 50 years scamming everybody, you know, and trying to stay out of jail. You know who I’m talking about. You know, I really miss Biden. I feel like we were safe, like I didn’t have to worry everything was going to blow up? I could live my life while he was there. Now, every day I wake up and worry what is this guy [Donald Trump] gonna do next?”
— Co-host Joy Behar on ABC’s The View, January 16.
3. It’s Not California Democratic Incompetence, It’s Climate Change
“The Los Angeles wildfires have been devastating and should serve as a wake-up call to anyone disillusioned with politics and thinking about sitting out the upcoming Trump term. The reality is when it comes to the health of our planet we don’t have four years to spare. Experts say dry weather and high winds — brought on by climate change — will only make wildfires more common in California.”
— Host Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation, January 12.
