It was a difficult activity however an esteemed panel of NewsBusters editors led by MRC President L.Brent Bozell and MRCâs Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker boiled down all of the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2021 and on December 15 introduced The Chris Cuomo Memorial Award for Quote of the Year. Â
Of course, yearly there’s an excessive amount of bias for only one class. So Baker led a panel of NewsBusters editors to interrupt down the Worst of 2021 into seven further classes (The Damn Those Conservatives Award; The GOP Wants To Bring Back Jim Crow Award; The Joy of Hate Award for Joy Reid Rants; The Praising and Protecting Old Joe Award; The Media Heroes Award; The Craziest Analysis Award and the Celebrity Freak-Outs Award).Â
Today we current the WORST OF 2021: The Celebrity Freak-Outs Award.Â
Without additional ado right here is the winner (adopted by the highest runners-up):Â Â

Ted Cruz = Deadly âFascistâ
Â
Â
âTed Cruz is a fascist! He denies the reality of the election. His words caused people to die, and Iâm making jokes about it. Is that a feud? I donât know. To me, it doesnât seem like a feud. To me, seems like Iâm pointing out the fact that he is a terrible man whose words have resulted in death.â

Time to Replace Old GloryÂ
âThe Confederate battle flag, which was crafted as a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery, is just recently tired. We donât see it much anymore. However, on [January] 6th, when the stormers rained on the nationâs most precious hut, waving Old Glory â the memo was received: the American flag is its replacementâŚ.Like the Confederate, it is tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect. It no longer represents democracy and freedom. It no longer represents ALL of us. Itâs not fair to be forced to honor it. Itâs time for a new flagâŚ.Letâs look to the stars. There are 50, where there should be 52. D.C. and Puerto Rico have been lobbying for statehood for decades. Both have been deniedâŚ.What if the stars were the colors of ALL of us â your skin tone and mine â like the melanin scale?â
