At the Media Research Center’s 25th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C., on Thursday night, former CBS News anchor Katie Couric was voted “The Worst Reporter in the History of Man.”
Couric barely edged out fellow former CBS News anchor Dan Rather.
A crowd of more than 1,000 people attending the gala chose Couric for the honor. The other nominees were Rather, Bryant Gumbel and Brian Williams. The crowd made its choice known through a voice vote–which required a second-round run-off between Couric and Rather.
Couric won the distinction as part of the MRC’s at annual “Dishonors Awards.” The awards were presented at the Media Research Center’s (MRC) sold-out 25th Anniversary Gala dinner, which was held at the National Building Museum in downtown Washington, D.C. The MRC, founded in 1987 by Brent Bozell, is dedicated to holding the liberal media accountable for promoting a left-wing agenda. CNSNews.com is a division of the MRC.
In addition to “The Worst Reporter in the History of Man Award,” the other “Dishonors” awards presented at the gala included “The Obamagasm Award (for drooling over Democrats),” “The Vast Right-Wing Knuckle Draggers Award (for biased campaign coverage),” “Damn Those Conservatives to Hell Award,” and “The Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity.”
Personally, I think Keith Olbermann and Bill O’Reilly were robbed. But then, I’m also a fan of the perky!

Ol’ Katie’s star is falling.
So, I’m giving odds on Katie’s next move to create publicity.
1. Lesbian love affair with Kate Gosselin.
2. Admits to long love affair with Matt Lauer.
3. Plastic surgery that involves various enhancements, followed by “wardrobe malfunction” at red carpet bash.
4. Hypnosis reveals hidden memories of child abuse. Promptly sues parents.
5. Decides to do reality tv show. Show’s working title: “Katie’s Manhattan.”
I’m going with a combination of 1&2.
As Baba Wawa laughs and laughs…
“He swiped my speech!”
And were this the planet of the apes, she’d be the worst reporter in its history, too.
Mike, I thought that would be Helen Thomas.
No, McGehee, you’re thinking of the Planet of the OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT THING IT’S HORRIBLE!!!!!!!
Don’t really consider a news anchor a reporter. For reporter I would think Geraldo wins hands down.
I bet Robert Conquest could come up with a counter-nominee or two.
“Mike, I thought that would be Helen Thomas.”
Nah that’s planet of the creepy spider-hags. The worst reporter in the history of the planet of the apes is Ed Schultz. He won on “the planet of the talking butts with toupes sitting on top of them” too.
Well, there was a biopic made about her back in 1958, starring Steve McQueen…
Journo-vermin.
I am going to call Obama ” Doctor Choom” for a while and just see how it feels.
Once you’ve had a camera shoved up your ass on live tv, its all downhill from there I guess.
Sounds like a very badly skewed set of expectations to me.
Katie Couric is a reporter like Ayatollah Khomeini is a man of God.
Perkouric? Sounds like an acid.

Question: Shouldn’t that be “The History of Persons” ???
