Welcome to the Media Research Center’s annual awards issue, a compilation of the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from 2004 (December 2003 through November 2004). To determine this year’s winners, a panel of 43 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers and media observers each selected their choices for the first, second and third best quote from a slate of six to nine quotes in each category. First place selections were awarded three points, second place choices two points, with one point for the third place selections. Point totals are listed in the brackets at the end of the attribution for each quote. Each judge was also asked to choose a “Quote of the Year” denoting the most outrageous quote of 2004. The winner and top runners-up appear on page eight.
A
list of the
judges, who were generous with their time, appears on the back page. The MRC’s Kristina Sewell and Michelle Humphrey distributed and counted the ballots. Brent Baker and Rich Noyes assembled this issue and Mez Djouadi posted the complete issue, along with video clips, on the MRC’s Web site:
www.mrc.org.
And please save this date: Thursday, April 21, 2005. At a banquet that night in Washington, DC, the MRC will announce the winners of its DisHonors Awards of 2005: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters. Check www.mrc.org in early 2005 for ticket information.
