Tickets Available for MRC's March 19 'DisHonors Awards' and Gala

February 11th, 2009 12:14 PM

Every year, we sell out. So don't procrastinate. One of the biggest and best conservative events -- the Media Research Center's annual gala -- is fast approaching. Join us for this year's gala featuring the “DisHonors Awards for the Worst Reporting of the Year” and the annual “William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence,” this year to be presented to Brit Hume.

It will take place on Thursday evening, March 19th, at the Grand Hyatt Washington.

The MRC gala is one of the most fun events of the year. Rush Limbaugh called it “a terrific show...a great, great, great assemblage of people....Everybody just had a blast!” Sean Hannity exclaimed: “I love this event!”

The DisHonors Awards winners will be announced “Oscar-style,” with videos played of each nominated hilariously-biased quote followed by surprise guests on hand to accept each award in jest on behalf of a media figure.

Cal Thomas will serve as Master of Ceremonies with awards presented by Ann Coulter, Joe Scarborough and Ken Cribb. And, as always, we'll have a fantastic cast of conservatives joining us to roast of the liberal media. “Joe the Plumber” and Andrew Breitbart are amongst the many who have already confirmed.

DisHonors Awards categories: “The Media's Messiah Award,” “The Obamagasm Award” “Half-Baked Alaska Award for Pummeling Palin” and the “Dan Rather Memorial Award for the Stupidest Analysis.”

Plus, there'll be lots of funny video clips as we mock the media's infatuation with Barack Obama. It's sure to be an entertaining evening.

Tickets for the gala are $250 per person. If you are interested in joining us or for more information, e-mail Sara Bell at: sbell@mediaresearch.org
