|
Welcome to the Media Research Center’s annual awards issue, a compilation of
the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from 2006 (December
2005 through November 2006). To determine this year’s winners, a panel of 58
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 five to eight 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 2006. A list of the judges, who were generous with their time, appears on the back page. The MRC’s Michelle Humphrey, Karen Hanna and Kristine Looney distributed and counted the ballots, then produced the numerous audio and video clips that accompany the Web-posted version. Brent Baker and Rich Noyes assembled this issue and Michael Gibbons posted the entire package on the MRC’s Web site: www.mrc.org. And please save this date: Thursday, March 29, 2007. At the Media Research Center’s 20th Anniversary Gala celebration that night in Washington, DC, the MRC will announce the winners of the DisHonors Awards of 2007: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters. Check www.mrc.org in early 2007 for additional information. |
