A summary of the MRC event:
On Thursday night, March 27, before an audience of more than 800 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., the Media Research Center presented the "DisHonors Awards: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters of 2002."
It was a humorous evening as the audience relished mocking the media's anti-conservative agenda and promotion of ludicrous liberal reasoning.
Winners were selected by a distinguished panel of 15 leading media observers who served as judges -- including Rush Limbaugh, Lawrence Kudlow, Steve Forbes, Cal Thomas, William F. Buckley Jr., along with Lucianne Goldberg, Michael Reagan, Kate O'Beirne, John Fund, Robert Novak, Walter Williams, L. Brent Bozell III, William Rusher, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. and Stephen Moore. List of judges: http://www.mediaresearch.org/notablequotables/dishonor/03/best.asp#judges
Cal Thomas, a syndicated columnist and host of FNC's After Hours with Cal Thomas, served as Master of Ceremonies. Sean Hannity, national radio talk show host and co-host of FNC's Hannity & Colmes, was the first presenter, followed by national radio talk show host Laura Ingraham and columnist/author Ann Coulter. In place of the journalist who won each award, a conservative accepted it in jest.
Those standing in for the winners: National Review Editor Rich Lowry, Club for Growth President Steve Moore, Judge Robert Bork, columnist/author Mona Charen and, filling in at last minute for Rush Limbaugh, whose plane was grounded by weather and so was unable make what was planned to be a surprise appearance, Washington Times editorial page editor Tony Blankley.
The five award categories:
-- Ozzy Osbourne Award (for the Wackiest Comment of the Year)
-- The I'm Not a Geopolitical Genius But I Play One on TV Award
-- And They Called It Puppy Love Award
-- Ashamed of the Red, White, and Blue Award
-- I Hate You Conservatives Award

I'll send another reminder tomorrow afternoon.
