Research Center presented the "Dishonors Awards for the Decade’s Most
Outrageous Liberal Bias" culled from the MRC’s archive of news video and
print publications from the 1990s.
Winners were

as judges -- including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Robert Novak --
who selected first and second place choices from six to eight quotes in
each of six award categories.

National Journalism Center emceed the dinner event. Serving as
presenters of archival videos of the award nominees as originally seen
on television during the past decade: Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas,
radio talk show host Michael Reagan and National Review publisher Ed
