FNC’s Greg Gutfeld rips MS-NOW’s Rachel Maddow’s acceptance speech for the Walter Cronkite Award for “excellence in TV political journalism.”

GREG GUTFELD: Because Maddow isn’t paid to be right. She’s paid to keep a dwindling audience from giving up altogether. She sells her drug to a shrinking mass, but along the way, she got hooked on the fumes. And yet here she is honored, celebrated, canonized by people as wrong as she is. She broke no stories; instead, she only broke her brain, and those of others who listened to her. She did the job she was supposed to do. She wasn’t questioning power; she was insulating it. On the left, accountability is nonexistent. What matters is loyalty. You don’t get fired for being wrong, but you can be promoted for service to the cause, and that means distributing the marching orders to your minions, ignore everything else, including stories that actually cost lives. That’s the biggest story of all. Can you imagine being a journalist in America and stating in public, with no fear of being held accountable at all, that your goal is to stop one political party over the other? And you’re worshipped by a corrupt, closed loop where mistakes are memory-holed, narratives outrank reality, and awards are handed out like condoms at a Hunter Biden pool party? Maddow is honored because she was wrong, reliably providing an alternative reality to a circle jerk of self-congratulators that’s getting smaller by the day. So maybe it’s right to call it the “Walter Cronkite Award” because they’re as dead as he is.
