The Best Notable Quotables of 2001:
The Fourteenth Annual Awards for the Year’s Worst Reporting

The Best Notable Quotables is an annual compilation of the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from the MRC’s bi-monthly Notable Quotables newsletter. The Best Notable Quotables are chosen by a nationwide panel of judges – the 2001 panel consisted of 41 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers and media observers – and are usually published around Christmas.

This year-end “best of” edition generates a great deal of media interest. Articles on The Best Notable Quotables of 2001 appeared in Investor's Business Daily, the New York Post, Rocky Mountain News, Daily Oklahoman, Columbus Dispatch and World magazine.

The 2001 Best Notable Quotables also served as the centerpiece of the DisHonors Awards: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters of 2001. The MRC event was held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. and attracted more than 800 people in January of 2002.
