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… Kathy Griffin! The comedian won in a squeaker with 42 percent of the vote. Griffin took first place for declaring that President Donald Trump and “professional Nazi” Elon Musk stole the election. MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson was barely edged out, he came in second place with 41 percent. Actress/singer Bette Midler finished in third place with 17 percent.  The following is a montage of all the nominees:      WINNER (42 percent of the vote)   Kathy Griffin: Trump and “Professional Nazi” Elon Musk Stole the Election  “I don’t think he [Donald Trump] won in a free and fair election. You heard me. I’m coming out and saying it myself. I don’t care if that means I look crazy because Elon Musk – who’s this other Nazi guy running around town who owns X….He’s a professional Nazi in my humble opinion. And he’s good friends with Trump….He was giving out million-dollar checks to people if they would vote for Trump. That’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional and illegal.”— Comedian Kathy Griffin on her podcast Talk Your Head Off with Kathy Griffin, October 15.   SECOND PLACE (41 percent of the vote)   Jason Johnson: Everybody Who Loves Democracy Is Antifa  “The idea of going after Antifa is like saying we’re going after dog lovers. Who doesn’t love dogs? If you’re a United States citizen, right? And you like democracy, then you don’t like fascism. Everybody who loves democracy is technically Antifa.”— MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle, October 13.   THIRD PLACE (17 percent of the vote)   Bette Midler Sings to Stephen Colbert: “You Never Kissed the Orange Ass” “It must have been cold here at The Late Show, despite the high ratings and awards. You need a gig that’s more worthwhile now that you’re more in demand than Epstein’s file. Did you ever know that you’re my Frodo? You stand for what’s right with wit and class. Thank you. And I hold you high as the great eagles ‘cause you never kissed the orange ass.”— Actress/singer Bette Midler singing to the tune of “Wind Beneath My Wings” to Stephen Colbert on CBS’s The Late Show, October 14.   Thanks again to all who participated!    Funded by James P.

The Salt Lake Tribune is not shy about how much it hates Republicans or conservatives. Earlier this year, they put their prying eyes on Jennica Pounds -- "Data Republican" on X, telling everyone about the bar her husband owns, and more.  On October 7, Tribune political cartoonist Pat Bagley sounded like a "No Kings" cartoonist with a a WANTED poster with mug shots of the Utah congressional delegation: Sens. Mike Lee and John Curtis, as well as Reps. Blake Moore, Burgess Owens, Celeste Maloy, and Mike Kennedy. They were called "The Gutless Gang," wanted “for failure to honor their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution from the dictatorial whims of a malignant clown.” Here's the most controversial part: The Tribune website headlined this cartoon "The Hole-in-the-Head Gang." Considering President Trump -- the "malignant clown" mentioned -- was shot through the ear last year, that was NOT the right headline, as social-media spread the offense: At this point in time I have come to the conclusion that the Salt Lake Tribune has become radicalized by ANTIFA activists working there. ANTIFA employees at the Salt Lake Tribune are trying to incite their audience to kill Senator Mike Lee and other Republicans in Utah. pic.twitter.com/YGwOHRBFai — Wall Street Mav (@WallStreetMav) October 11, 2025 The Tribune recognized that this headline could be implying violence, so the headline was changed to the bland descriptor "Utah's reps" and an Editor's Note was appended: Editor’s note, Oct. 9, 7:12 p.m. -The headline on this cartoon has been updated because the original did not meet our standards for publication. We know words matter. We try to be intentional about the words we use and we regret this error. Bagley kept up the crudely violent metaphors in his latest cartoon, which is headlined (at least for now) "Midwest Chainsaw Massacre," showing Argentina's president Javier Milei lunging with his chainsaw at "U.S. Farmers" with Trump and Vance behind him with $40 billion in a wheelbarrow, and Trump saying "Hurry! We have to help....the guy with the chainsaw."

Which artificial intelligence chatbot did a better job creating an image? One prominent CEO’s response may surprise you.Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff made a shocking accusation against ChatGPT during a Technology Business Programming Network (TBPN) interview last Thursday. He said that the subscription version of ChatGPT refused to modify an image of him and the chatbot’s parent company CEO Sam Altman. So, Benioff asked X owner Elon Musk’s AI chatbot to create the image instead. Benioff said the chatbot refused the requested image because of an alleged “copyright infringement” given that both Benioff and Altman were wearing “conference necklaces” that Benioff wanted removed. He asserted that Grok, owned by free speech advocate Musk, had no problem creating the clean image of the two men that Benioff used to promote a partnership between Salesforce and OpenAI. BREAKING: @Benioff used Grok for viral image with @sama pic.twitter.com/hVQEuDZH6C — TBPN (@tbpn) October 16, 2025 The irony? In his X post, Benioff called ChatGPT—the AI he said refused to create the image for his X post—the “world’s best AI.”  [The story continues on MRCFreeSpeechAmerica.org]

The president answered with important details on Monday about the possibility of U.S. troops on the ground to "eradicate" the Hamas terror group if it continues to threaten the peace deal negotiated with Israel.President Donald Trump took questions from the press while seated next to the prime minister of Australia at the White House.'They have to be good, and if they're not good, they will be eradicated.'The president gave a fierce warning to the Hamas terror group for continuing attacks on Israelis. "They're going to behave. They're going to be nice. And if they're not, we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them if we have to. They'll be eradicated. And they know that," said Trump. “They got very rambunctious, and they did things that they shouldn't be doing," he added. "And if they keep doing it, then we're going to go in and straighten it out. And it'll happen very quickly and pretty violently, unfortunately." Rebeka Zeljko of Blaze News asked him to clarify whether that action might include the U.S. military."When you say, 'We are going to eradicate Hamas,' who is 'we'?" Zeljko asked. "Does that include American boots on the ground?""No. It won't be on the ground at all," Trump replied unequivocally."We don't need to because we have many countries, as you know, signed on to this deal. The way I view it, 59 countries ... that four months ago didn't like each other and now they're all aligned together," he added."I mean, we've had countries calling me when they saw some of the killing with Hamas, saying, 'We'd love to go in and take care of the situation ourselves,'" Trump continued. "In addition you have Israel would go in in two minutes if I asked them to go in. I could tell them, 'Go in and take care of it.' But right now we haven't said that. We're gonna give it a little chance, and hopefully there will be a little less violence, but right now, you know, they're violent people. Hamas has been very violent."He went on to point out that Hamas had lost the backing of Iran and anyone else."They have to be good, and if they're not good, they will be eradicated," he added.RELATED: Trump praises Blaze News reporting during Antifa roundtable at White House — and slaps down MSNBC, CNN The peace deal negotiated by Trump has already led to the release of the remaining hostages and the remains of hostages to Israel from the terror group. Critics of the U.S. backing Israel in the conflict have strenuously objected to the possibility of U.S. military troops being sent to help the U.S. ally in the fight against Hamas. Like Blaze News?

A yet-unnamed male reportedly broke the glass front door of a Baltimore jewelry store with a brick in the middle of the night last week — and it proved to be a fateful choice, as the store owner was inside at the time.A friend of the store owner shared the following account of Thursday's incident with WJZ-TV on his behalf. The station said:The store owner was watching a movie around 2 a.m.The store owner said someone broke through his glass front door with a brick, so he fired a warning shot and said, "Freeze!" The intruder ducked, then popped back up, and the store owner shot him.Baltimore police described it as a commercial burglary at the intersection of Fleet and Madeira Streets that resulted in the fatal shooting of a 39-year-old man, WJZ said.'There are very much viable defenses for someone in the business owner's — the jewelry store owner's — shoes right now.'The station added that the shooting was caught on video and shared with a WJZ reporter. While the camera owner declined to allow WJZ to publish the images, the camera owner did share them with police. The station said the silent video shows a man at the store's entrance who appears to enter the business — and seconds later, he falls to the pavement.WJZ noted in its Friday story that "bullet holes remained in two windows at the store" and that the broken glass in the store's front door "has since been covered." The station added that the store's owner reportedly lived above his shop.RELATED: Video: Armed thugs who rush into jewelry store have fast change of heart when worker with gun sends them some smoke In a follow-up story, WJZ reported that the shooting has raised questions regarding when — and where — lethal force is allowed when you believe you are in danger.The station said the standards differ in Maryland depending on if you are in your home or in public. WJZ said the law gives you more latitude to use deadly force if you're at home and have a "reasonable" fear that your life is in danger — a.k.a. the Castle Doctrine.But the station said if you are in public, you have a "duty to retreat" and only can use deadly force as a last resort — and the force should be proportional to the threat.Attorney Warren Alperstein — who is not affiliated with the jewelry store case — noted to WJZ that "if you're in an alley up against a brick wall at a dead end, and there's no way to get out ... there's no way to retreat — that would be an exception to the requirement."RELATED: Smash-and-grab robbers turn tail and run when jewelry store employee pulls out gun, starts shooting The station said in the case of Thursday's fatal shooting at the jewelry store, the store owner lived in the same building as his business. Alperstein added to WJZ that "if it's determined it was in his home, then he does not have to first prove that he retreated before he used the deadly force."The attorney also told the station that "there are very much viable defenses for someone in the business owner's — the jewelry store owner's — shoes right now."WJZ said Baltimore police and the state's attorney's office declined interview requests.Like Blaze News?
