WORST OF 2025: The Craziest Analysis Award

It was a challenging task, but an esteemed panel of NewsBusters editors, led by MRC President David Bozell and MRC’s Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker, boiled down all the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2025 and on December 17 announced The Media Research Center Award for Worst Quote of the Year.

Of course, every year, there is way too much bias for just one category. So we broke down the Worst of 2025 into five additional categories (The Craziest Analysis Award; The Trashing Trump Award; The Damn Those Conservatives Award; The ICE Breakers Award for Hating Trump’s Deportation Policy; and the Celebrity Freak-Outs Award).

Veganuary champion quits to run meat-eating campaign

A former Veganuary cheerleader has defected to help run a meat-eating campaign.

Toni Vernelli, 54, was head of communications at Veganuary, the annual vegan diet challenge, for nearly six years, having spent decades fighting to end animal cruelty.

But she has now urged people to “forget” the campaign and go back to eating meat, claiming vegan dogma is “not only unhelpful but actually damaging to the fundamental goal of reducing animal suffering”.

New Revelations: Ilhan Omar’s Husband Dumps Advisors As Questions Swirl

Isn’t it amazing how many people come to Congress having only modest means, and suddenly, once elected, grow rich? Case in point: Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar (MN-05), whose district encompasses a good slice of Minneapolis, that Mogadishu of the Midwest. She came to the office, reports have it, nearly broke. Today, she reportedly has a net worth of over $30 million. And her husband’s venture capital firm has seen a sudden skyrocket to success.

From an Olympic Snowboarder to an Accused Drug Kingpin and Killer

The target was a drug trafficker turned F.B.I. informant who didn’t stand a chance. As he had lunch with friends at a restaurant in Medellín, Colombia, a hit man in a dark hoodie sneaked up behind him and shot him five times in the head.

The man who had ordered the hit quickly received a photograph of the body, the authorities said. He reshared it widely — boasting that he had killed “the rat.”

The man behind the killing was Ryan Wedding, a Canadian who rose to fame as an Olympic snowboarder two decades ago, only to become what the authorities describe as one of the world’s biggest drug lords. “El Jefe,” as he was known, ran a drug-trafficking empire out of Mexico and was now one of the most wanted fugitives in the world.

Germany’s empty churches repurposed as congregations shrink

On its final day, St. Anna’s is almost full again. A choir is singing and the small organ is supporting them. But this is the last mass in the small Catholic church in Gildehaus, a district of Bad Bentheim near the German-Dutch border. In future, the building will no longer be a place of worship.

Towards the end of the service, the demise of this church becomes achingly real. Worshippers from the congregation open the altar and remove the relics. These are small relics of a saint, be they bone fragments or pieces of textile, which are always incorporated into the altar of a consecrated Catholic church.

Illegal alien from Mali awaiting deportation stabs 3 women on Paris Metro

French police on Friday arrested a man suspected of stabbing three women in the Paris metro as the capital’s end-of-year festivities were in full swing, prosecutors told AFP.

The three victims were attacked at three different locations along the Line 3 metro track that runs across central Paris, the RATP authority that runs the transit service told AFP.

From Fdesouche – According to our information, this Malian national, residing illegally in France, was imprisoned in January 2024 for aggravated robbery and sexual assault after receiving a criminal conviction. Released in July 2025, “given his immigration status ,” he was issued a deportation order ( OQTF ) and placed in an administrative detention center (CRA). “As his removal could not be completed within the legal timeframe of ninety days, due to the lack of a consular laissez-passer and the absence of a valid identity document, he was released under house arrest,” the Ministry of the Interior told Le Figaro . He was wanted on an outstanding warrant.

Mali is 95% Muslim.
