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…
Jennifer Welch!
The co-host of the I’ve Had It podcast and former Bravo reality show host won with 60 percent of the vote. Welch took first place for her disgusting attack on Erika Kirk. ABC’s The View co-host Sunny Hostin came in second place with 28 percent. Finishing last was former CBS Late Show host David Letterman at 12 percent.
The following is a montage of all the nominees:
WINNER (60 percent of the vote)
Jennifer Welch: Erika Kirk Is a “Grifter” Just like Trump and Her “Unrepentant, Racist, Homophobic Husband”
“She [Erika Kirk] is a grifter. And just look at the costume changes. Look at the costume changes. Look at the affect and how she does that. It’s wild. This woman should be kicked to the curb. She is an absolute grifter. Just like Donald Trump and just like her unrepentant, racist, homophobic husband was.”
— Co-host Jennifer Welch on the I’ve Had It podcast, December 7.
SECOND PLACE (28 percent of the vote)
Sunny Hostin Attacks Trump’s “Xenophobia” and “Racism” Language That Leads to “White Supremacy” Taking Over a Country
“I think everyone should be offended at the blatant xenophobia and racism that comes from the highest office in the United States – and the misogyny. And so now he’s just openly embracing these words like garbage, like filth….and vermin….Where have we heard that language, Whoopi? We have heard that language in places, fascist places where white supremacy has taken over the country.”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, December 10.
THIRD PLACE (12 percent of the vote)
David Letterman Sucks Up to Anti-Trump Host Jimmy Kimmel: “You Are the Leader of the Resistance”
“People are aware of the fact that you are the leader of the resistance?…I’m gonna suck up to you because I feel like if I kind of tag along with you, I’ll be glorified in retrospect….If the leader of the free world is a fool, the leader of the free world then should expect and examine every bit of ridicule he receives.”
— Former CBS Late Show host David Letterman to Jimmy Kimmel on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, December 9.
