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 of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is….

WINNER (61.9 percent of the vote)
You Know Who Else Was Voted Into Office? Hitler!
Co-host Joy Behar: “This is not a normal inauguration. This is not a normal person. He’s a convicted felon. Why do they go as if this is a normal inauguration? And it’s not.”...
Co-host Sara Haines: “The normalizing of President Trump happened when the American public went out and voted.”
Behar: “The Germans voted also. Just saying.”
— ABC’s The View, January 17.
SECOND PLACE (19.4 percent)
Worried By All the White People in “This Crowd”
“I have to say, I’m looking at this crowd, I do not see many people of color. Has any – has anybody else besides me observed that? I’m fascinated by why that is.”
— CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King on CBS News’s live coverage of Donald Trump Inauguration, January 21.
THIRD PLACE (18.8 percent of the vote)
CBS Spin: Actually Biden Was Great!
“In many ways, he [Joe Biden] did deliver. His administration oversaw the successful rollout of the covid vaccines, the stock market steadily rose to record highs, while unemployment fell to a near-record low….He did so while racking up legislative victories, including massive new investments in clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing….And scored a win that had eluded his predecessors, signing a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.”
— Correspondent Nancy Cordes on CBS Sunday Morning, January 19.
