Kathy Griffin Wins Worst Media Take Poll with 42% Vote

A recent poll conducted by NewsBusters and the Media Research Center named comedian Kathy Griffin as the winner of the Worst Media Take of the Week, narrowly beating MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson and actress Bette Midler. Griffin claimed that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, whom she called a "professional Nazi," stole the election and alleged illegal activities involving Musk. Johnson controversially equated loving democracy with being part of Antifa, while Midler made a critical remark about Trump during a performance. Meanwhile, in high school football, the top-ranked teams New Canaan and Greenwich are set to face off in a highly anticipated Game of the Year, with other notable matchups also drawing attention in Connecticut. Additionally, voting is open for various regional "Game of the Week" football polls, encouraging community engagement in selecting standout local games. Legal setbacks for the Trump administration continue, including court orders blocking National Guard deployments in Illinois and Oregon and a judge preventing mass firings amid a government shutdown, alongside a jury refusal to convict an ICE protester in Washington D.C.
