MRC Announces Elie Mystal Wins Worst Media Take Poll

In a recent poll conducted by NewsBusters, Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, received the title of 'Worst Media Take of the Week' for advocating the elimination of all voter registration laws to facilitate voting against President Trump, garnering 70% of the votes. Mystal's comments were made during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, where he argued that such measures are necessary to protect democracy. Rosie O'Donnell and Anand Giridharadas followed in the poll with 21% and 9% of the votes, respectively, for their controversial remarks. Mystal has been a repeat nominee, having previously won the same award earlier this year for his criticism of Trump voters. The segment invites participation from the public to highlight perceived bias in media commentary.
