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 (for the second week in a row)…

Joy Behar!

The ABC’s The View co-host won with 64 percent of the vote. Behar took first place for scaremongering about President Donald Trump using the National Guard as a “pretext to stop the next election.” Behar’s The View colleague Sunny Hostin came in second place with 26 percent. ABC’s late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel finished in third place with 10 percent. 

Behar is on a roll! She won in the previous week for saying she was “skeptical” that America could “survive” Trump.

The following is a montage of all the nominees: 

WINNER (64 percent of the vote)

Joy Behar: Trump Using National Guard as “Pretext to Stop the Next Election!”

“This [Trump sending in National Guard to protect ICE in cities] is a pretext to stop the next election! That’s what I think it is.”
— Co-host Joy Behar on ABC’s The View, October 7.

SECOND PLACE (26 percent of the vote)

Sunny Hostin Lectures “Pro-Life” Christians On Their “Hypocrisy”

“I find there is a hypocrisy with certain Christians who are pro-life, but they will pull that electric chair switch. They are ‘pro-life,’ but they have their AR-15s in their cabinet. They are pro-life, but they – they don’t mind immigrant families being torn from each other. They are pro-life, but they don’t care about little children’s subsidies being taken away from them. That is not pro-life!”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, October 2.
 

THIRD PLACE (10 percent of the vote)

Jimmy Kimmel: When I Travel Abroad, I Don’t Want to Be Blamed for Trump 

 “We travel abroad. Many of us don’t want to be held accountable for what our president does and says. As an American – you know – going someplace, I’m fortunate enough to be well known, and people know where I’m coming from. But I think it would be a different situation if people didn’t know who I was, and I think I’d probably be – the first thing I’d say as I got into every cab is, ‘I didn’t vote for him, just FYI.’”
— ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel at the Bloomberg Screentime conference, October 8.

Thanks again to all who participated!
