Mediaite Awards 2014: We Pick the Year’s Very WORST in Media

Now comes the negative part of the second annual Mediaite Awards.

As 2014 comes to a close, so goes another chapter of media history. Amid a sea of great reporting and glimmering hopes for the future of media, there was also the partisan hackery, the false reporting, and manufactured outrage.

Let’s call it the WORST in media.

As a staff of writers with a very diverse set of political and cultural views, we submitted a survey to determine who would “win” each sad category. Some had no clear losers, others had multiple losers-up. One important note: Ratings or overall popularity were most certainly not a determining factor in our votes.

So with that, sit back and shed a few tears in honor of “The Very WORST in 2014 Media,” and then take our READER POLL afterwards.

(And if you haven’t already seen our selections for the “Best in Media,” check that out here.)
