It was a challenging task, but an esteemed panel of NewsBusters editors, led by MRC President David Bozell and MRC’s Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker, boiled down all the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2025 and on December 17 announced The Media Research Center Award for Worst Quote of the Year.  Of course, every year, there is way too much bias for just one category. So we broke down the Worst of 2025 into five additional categories (The Craziest Analysis Award; The Trashing Trump Award; The Damn Those Conservatives Award; The ICE Breakers Award for Hating Trump’s Deportation Policy; and the Celebrity Freak-Outs Award).  Today, we present the WORST OF 2025: The Celebrity Freak-Out Award.    WINNER     “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.   RUNNERS-UP   “I will always treasure your debate with Trump….That was one of the greatest rhetorical performances I’ve ever seen. You smoked him like a ham….You warned everyone about the future under our present president. You said he would prosecute his political enemies, he would cut Medicaid and Medicare, he would ignore court orders, he would alienate our allies, he would give massive tax cuts to the rich. And I know you’re not here to say, ‘I told you so,’ but would you like to?”— Host Stephen Colbert to former Vice President Kamala Harris on CBS’s The Late Show, August 1.   “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.   Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin: “I think it’s very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is in Iran.”Co-host Whoopi Goldberg: “Not if you’re black!”— ABC’s The View, June 18.   “This was a church inside a Catholic school and whaddaya know [shooter] was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. Whaddaya know? White supremacist.”— Comedian/former ABC’s The View co-host Rosie O’Donnell incorrectly identifying the shooter as MAGA, on her TikTok feed, August 28.   Host Jonathan Capehart: “You said earlier, Mr. De Niro, about the President, he will not leave the White House. This is where you and I are on the same wavelength.”Actor Robert De Niro: “No way. He will not. We see it, we see it, we see it every –  we see it all the time. He will not want to leave. He set it up with his, I guess he’s the [Joseph] Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. He’s a, he’s a Nazi. Yes, he is, and he’s Jewish, and he should be ashamed of himself.”— MSNBC’s The Weekend, October 19.
