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.

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 ...
Idiotarian of the Year, Idiotarian Award, Fiskie, Nominations
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 ...
