This the best I could do since it seems A.M.P.A.S. has snagged any copies from YouTube and the White House hasn’t put one out yet. Updated with a better one from Hollywood Reporter.

Tucker Carlson is going to win a prize! For media accuracy! It’s called the Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award, by Accuracy in Media, which is a conservative media watchdog group.
And by prize I mean free p.r. And by accuracy I mean lies.
Black is white. Up is down. Palin is articulate. Tea baggers are rational. And now this:
According to the AIM press release: “The Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award was established in 2005 to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to the practice of journalism in the tradition of Reed Irvine by independently covering and reporting on news that was misreported or ignored by the mainstream press.”
Oh now that is hilarious.
The award comes courtesy of the Conservative Political Action Conference. Can you say, “self serving”?
Great moments in Daily Caller accuracy: When the Caller trolled the blogosphere with the “story” about how pedestrian deaths “increased sharply” because of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign; it did not point out that the “increase” was a grand total of seven more deaths. The tortuously edited snippets of conversations from JournoList that it published were flagrantly misrepresented. Incredibly, it hasn’t corrected this birther story based on an obvious hoax.
Tucker is a real prize himself.

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow was among the recipients of the Walter Cronkite Faith and Freedom Award from the Interfaith Alliance. Maddow was honored for her “passionate coverage of the intersection of religion and politics.” Maddow spoke of faith, politics, and challenging extremism at the event on Sunday.
She should be the recipient of every single award ever given for journalism, ever. She brings more to the Tee Vee Machine’s vast wasteland of ”news” than nearly anyone else.
And yes, I am a shameless fangirl. And I don’t care who knows it. So there.
Rachel Maddow can consider herself an esteemed member of the Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Larry King, and Bill and Judith Moyers crowd. Why? Because she will receive the Walter Cronkite Faith & Freedom award. It is an acknowledgment of her work covering religion and politics:
The award, which will be presented at a gala dinner in New York in October, “recognizes individuals who courageously promote democratic values, defend religious freedom and reinvigorate informed civic participation,” according to the announcement. Cronkite served as Honorary Chairman of the Interfaith Alliance until his death last year.
She more than deserves this award along with every other possible journalism award that exists. Her investigative reporting, her clarity, her honesty, her thoroughness, her diligence, her moxy, and her humor make her among the best in any genre, any day, any how, any where.

He got his 15 minutes, he lost his award:
The Susan B. Anthony List had chosen Stupak to receive the “Defender of Life” award at the “Campaign for Life Gala” Wednesday [...]
“By accepting this deal from the most pro-abortion President in American history, Stupak has not only failed to stand strong for unborn children, but also for his constituents and pro-life voters across the country,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said in a statement shortly before the House was set to vote on the controversial bill.
Dannenfelser charged that the executive order was not enough.
Oh no! President Obama is the most pro-abortion president in all of all history ever? He wants everyone to get abortions? Wowzers! Gay abortions, French abortions, Marxist abortions, Commie abortions, Fascist abortions, Muslim abortions, take your choice.
Did I just say “choice”? My bad.
But now that I know that our president is a record-setting, abortion happy extremist, I simply must pick out a new outfit for what will inevitably become Abortion Day! Pro-abortionists unite!
Snark over.
Well, maybe not.
Maybe we should start referring to so-called “pro-lifers” as “pro-forced pregnancy-ers”.
And while we’re at it, let’s remind these fanatics that they are the ones who are pushing the government to come between Americans and their doctors… as well as their privacy.
P.S. Stupak says he don’t need no stinkin’ award. That’s short for, “Bite me, Susan B. Anthony List.” For once, I agree with him.

Here’s a little good news to perk up our Sunday. GLAAD held their Media Awards event. Guess who won a little something:
MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” won the Outstanding TV Journalism – Newsmagazine award for the “Uganda Be Kidding Me series.
As she should have. That reporting was superb.
Rachel deserves every award anyone can come up with. She is a standout, period.
