The Sixteenth Annual Awards for the
Year’s Worst Reporting

Welcome to the Media Research Center’s annual awards issue, a compilation of the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from 2003 (December 2002 through November 2003). To determine this year’s winners, a panel of 46 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 2003. The winner and the two top runners-up appear on page eight.

A list of the judges, who were extremely generous with their time, appears at the end of the issue. The MRC’s Kristina Sewell distributed and counted the ballots. Brent Baker and Rich Noyes assembled this issue and Mez Djouadi posted the complete issue, along with video clips.

Look them over folks. There are six pages of various awards for the worst, idiotic bits of journalistic flatulence for the past year!

Makes you proud that the Fourth Estate is holding up their end of the Bill of Rights so nobly....
