We’ve got a new interactive series 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…
Joy Reid!
The ABC’s The View co-host won with 64 percent of the vote. Reid took first place for calling Donald Trump supporters racist and predicting that they won’t support a JD Vance presidential candidacy because Second Lady Usha Vance is a “non-white” immigrant. MS NOW host Joe Scarborough came in second place with 26 percent. Finishing last was MS NOW host Jen Psaki at 10 percent.
The following is a montage of all the nominees:
WINNER (64 percent of the vote)
Joy Reid: Racist MAGA Won’t Accept JD Vance Because He’s Married to an Immigrant
“[Vice President JD] Vance has a problem in that the base of MAGA is fundamentally racist….What most motivates MAGA? Hatred of non-white immigrants. They’re obsessed with non-white immigrants and undocumented people. They use the term illegals, which is just the N-word for brown people.…So they can’t have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the brown Hindu wife. They’re also Christian nationalists. That ain’t gonna work. That’s why he’s throwing his wife under the bus. Poor [Second Lady] Usha – or she’s in on it, right?”
— Former MS NOW host Joy Reid on the I’ve Had It podcast, November 25.
SECOND PLACE (26 percent of the vote)
Joe Scarborough: Trump Administration is “Going Against Jesus’s Teachings” on Deportation
“The administration official that said the Pope is wrong. You kinda going against not only the Pope, you’re going against Jesus’s teachings throughout the entire New Testament. All I can say is good luck with that, taking it up with Jesus and taking it up with the Pope. And all of the archbishops and so many priests. The New Testament, the Gospel is so painfully clear that the Pope feels free to say, ‘Please don’t call yourself pro-life if you’re against abortion, but you support the inhumane treatment of these souls.’”
— Host Joe Scarborough on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, November 20.
THIRD PLACE (10 percent of the vote)
Jen Psaki Rages Against Trump “Sycophants” in “Kremlin-esque” White House Press Briefings
“I read the press briefing a lot because we do a little thing on our show about it sometimes, more and more of the questions in there are by sycophants, or by people who are not asking about news that the American people cares about….It’s becoming more of a Kremlin-esque press corps.”
— MS NOW host Jen Psaki on Next Question with Katie Couric podcast, November 19.
