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…
Bruce Springsteen!
The singer and longtime left-wing activist won with a whopping 62 percent of the vote! “The Boss” took first place with his on-stage rant against the “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”
PBS contributor and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart finished in second place with 20 percent of the vote. Former NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd finished third with 18 percent.
The following is a montage of all the nominees:
WINNER (62 percent of the vote)
Bruce Springsteen Bashes Trump’s “Treasonous Administration”
“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”
— Singer Bruce Springsteen live from the Co-Op Live stage in Manchester, England on May 14.
SECOND PLACE (20 percent of the vote)
How Can American Catholics Support a President Who is “Antithetical” to “Teachings of Jesus Christ?”
“What do American Catholics do when they have an American pope who speaks - you know - the teachings of Jesus Christ….and yet they’ve been supporting a man [Donald Trump] who is antithetical to all of those things?”
— Washington Post associate editor/PBS contributor Jonathan Capehart on PBS’s News Hour, May 9.
THIRD PLACE (18 percent of the vote)
Chuck Todd: Donald Trump Has Turned GOP Into a “Kleptocracy”
“The Republican party right now is a kleptocracy. He [Donald Trump] has not turned the country into a kleptocracy yet....This is worse than Teapot Dome. This is worse than Watergate.”
— Former NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd on CNN Saturday Morning Table for Five, May 10.
