For their non-stop, unseemly, worshipful, overwhelmingly biased coverage in favor of Barack Obama, the readers of LGF have chosen the winner of the 2008 Idiotarian Award: our self-appointed guardian of information, the Mainstream Media and its mask of phony impartiality. Special thanks to John Cox and Allen Forkum for ...

Yes, the votes are in, more than 26,000 of them, and we have a clear winner. You might even call it a landslide, with 39.2% of the vote. For their leg-tingling coverage of the Obama campaign, and other misbehaviors too numerous to mention, the 2008 Idiotarian Award will go to ...

Here’s an open thread to post nominations for LGF’s Idiotarian of the Year Award! This year, in the spirit of the stock market downturn and the economic belt-tightening, we’re cutting out the “Anti-Idiotarian” award and focusing on the red meat — the award for the person or group that most ...

Our first round of voting for the Idiotarian and Anti-Idiotarian Awards of 2007 ended yesterday. Keith Olbermann’s stellar idiocy put him way ahead of the pack for the Fiskie Award, followed by Ron Paul Supporters and Rosie O’Donnell. In the Fallaci Awards, we also have a runaway leader, General David ...

There was a small bug in the Ajax polling code that prevented you from voting more than once in a poll. It’s now fixed, so I’m reposting the Fiskie and Fallaci runoff polls here. You now have five votes in each category, so if you voted only once before the ...

I’m pleased as punch to announce the winners of the Idiotarian (the “Fiskie”) and Anti-Idiotarian (the “Fallaci”) Awards for 2006.

We’re coming to the end of another year, and it’s time to open the nominations for the Idiotarian of the Year awards (‘Fiskie’ for short). This year we’re starting a new tradition (don’t you love it when that happens?) and holding a separate vote for the year’s most notable anti-idiotarian—the ...
