From the Columbia Journalism Review way back in May, here is a report I just came across about the Bias Buster's Ball (or is is Biased Ball Busters?):

Thomas’s Fox News Channel colleague, Sean Hannity, commenced the shock treatment by presenting the Ozzy Osbourne Award for Wackiest Comment of the Year, the first of the night’s six prizes. Each award was selected by a panel of fifteen judges — sharp-eyed bias-spotters all — including William F. Buckley, Jr., Steve Forbes, John Fund, Lucianne Goldberg, Lawrence Kudlow, Rush Limbaugh, Robert Novak, Kate O’Beirne, Michael Reagan, and R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. Owing to a remark he made about Saddam Hussein’s electoral mandate — that Saddam won “99.96 percent of the vote,” but that “it is impossible to say” whether it is “a true measure of the Iraqi people’s feelings” — David Wright of ABC’s World News Tonight edged out Hearst’s Helen Thomas and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos to take the first trophy.


For the And They Called it Puppy Love Award, Barbara Walters triumphed over The New York Times’s Howell Raines and CNBC’s Brian Williams. Walters’s wayward words? During an interview with Fidel Castro, she noted that “if literacy alone were the yardstick, Cuba would rank as one of the freest nations on earth,” as its “literacy rate is 96 percent.” Laura Ingraham, a radio talk-show host and author of The Hillary Trap, explained to the crowd that the Puppy Love award “goes to the journalist who did his or her best last year to fawn over a liberal hero.” Ingraham then gave her own fulsome introduction to the “hero of the conservative movement,” Judge Robert Bork, who was — wink, wink — accepting the award “on Walters’s behalf.” The heretofore subdued audience obliged with a standing ovation and clinked their dinner utensils against their glasses.

This was the best they could come up with? Really, there have to have been more liberal people out there than this, especially because , in the words of L. Brent Bozell, we "have ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, and PBS."

Also receiving booby prizes were the Bills, Moyers and Maher. Bill Maher isn't really a "journalist" in any sense of the word, but then neither is the presenter, Laura Ingraham. Bill Moyers got two prizes for the same quote, the raving liberal statement “If you like God in government, get ready for the Rapture.” only an unreconstructed liberal would dare to claim that Bush and his buddies/cronies/controllers are religious.
