The Year's Worst Reporting: A Look Back at the Mainstream Media in 2009

Brent Bozell, founder of The Media Research Center and Newsbusters, was on FoxNews yesterday to present the center's notable quotables of 2009 -- the "best of the worst", so to speak, of the MSM's biased reporting:



• The Media Hero Award: CBS' Katie Couric
• The Coronation of the Messiah Award: ABC's Bill Weir
• The Damn Those Conservatives Award: MSNBC's Ed Schultz
• The Audacity of Dopes Award: Newsweek's Evan Thomas

Did you catch that quote from Thomas? "In a way, Obama is standing above the country, above the world.  He's sort of God.  He's gonna bring all different sides together."

Brent Bozell predicts that the situation with the MSM is not going to change, because the media have too much invested in Obama.  "It's the gift that keeps on giving.  The prize is a whole lot of laughs ... It's their own words that make fools of themselves, and then they wonder why their audiences are leaving."

Touché, Brent!
