The Media Research Center's annual awards for the year's "most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes" never cease to amuse, bewilder, and mystify. What were these people thinking when they uttered these statements? To determine the winners, a panel of 46 radio talk-show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, writers, and media observers sifted through many worthy quotes to reach a consensus. Barbara Walters lisped away with the
Media Suck-Up Award, Katie Couric condescended her way to the
Good Morning Morons Award, and CBS's Lesley Stahl backed into the
What Liberal Media? Award. In addition to naming winners in individual categories, the judges also selected the "
Quote of the Year," a truly obtuse collection of words. You might want to sit down before you delve into the nonsense uttered in the year past.
