We’ve got a brand new, fun interactive series for the new year 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… Elie Mystal! The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal and MSNBC regular won with a resounding 70 percent of the vote! Comedian/actress Rosie O’Donnell (who fled the U.S. for Ireland) came in second with 21 percent. Former New York Times columnist and MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas finished dead last with 9 percent of the vote. Mystal won for bellowing that the government should “eliminate all voter registration laws,” so it is easier to vote against President Donald Trump’s “fascism.” Mystal previously took home the Worst Media Take of the Week award back in February for his attack on Trump voters.  The following is a montage of all the nominees:      WINNER (70 percent of the vote)   “Eliminate All Voter Registration Laws” So It’s Easier to Vote Against Trump’s “Fascism” “We could eliminate all voter registration laws. See, when Democrats get in charge, we try to protect voting rights….We have to expand voting rights so that the 90 million people that sat on the couch and sat out this last election between democracy and fascism, so that maybe they have a little bit of an easier time to get up off the couch and come participate in the democracy.”— The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, March 24.   SECOND PLACE (21 percent of the vote)   Rosie O’Donnell Wonders If Elon Rigged Election for Trump “I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends and his largest donor [Elon Musk] was a man who owns and runs the Internet. So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not able to do that.”— Comedian/actress Rosie O’Donnell on Ireland network RTE’s The Late Late Show, March 21.   THIRD PLACE (9 percent of the vote)   “Apartheid-Era Elon” Is “Burning the Republic” for “Wannabe Autocrat” Trump “No one in America voted for apartheid-era Elon to be in charge of anything. No one in America….It is personalistic politics, where a wannabe autocrat in Donald Trump has outsourced the slashing and burning of the republic to apartheid-era Elon and no one wants this and they are gonna find out.”— Former New York Times columnist/MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, March 20.   Thanks again to all who participated!    Support provided by James P.
