We’ve got a brand new, fun interactive series for the new year 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 are in and the winner is….
Joy Behar!
It wasn’t a close race as the ABC’s The View co-host crushed her competitors with 63 percent of the vote. MSNBC host Al Sharpton came in second place with 25 percent of the vote and CBS Face the Nation moderator came in a distant third with just 11 percent.
Behar took home the top spot with the following hateful outburst:
WINNER
Joy Is Sad: I Miss Joe Biden Already (63 percent of the vote)
“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.
SECOND PLACE (25 percent of the vote)
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.
THIRD PLACE (11 percent of the vote)
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.
