POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)
[LANGUAGE WARNING]
NOMINEES:
1. Dana Bash Sucks Up to Bernie Sanders: You’re Almost as Popular as the Pope, Will You Run for President Again?
“What the Gallup poll found was that you are one of the most widely admired Americans. And I believe you’re only second to the pope….I watched you tonight, I have watched you for a very, very long time. You’re obviously still full of vigor and intensity for the things that you’re passionate about and have been for decades. Is there another presidential run in you?”

2. Anand Giridharadas: When I Go to D.C. I’m More Afraid of My Children Losing Their Right to Breathe, Than Losing My Wallet
“When I go to D.C. I’m not afraid of losing my wallet, so much as I’m afraid of losing my vote. I’m not afraid of losing my wallet, so much as I’m afraid that my children’s freedom to breathe will be stolen in a world where climate change policy is nonexistent.”
— The.Ink publisher Anand Giridharadas on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, August 12.
3. Rosie O’Donnell Lip-Synchs Along to Song: “Fuck Trump, Fuck ICE, Free Palestine!”
