Lisa Autry, radio reporter at WKYU in Bowling Green and WKYU is a NPR member station.
I pick Lisa because she demonstrated such bias while I was running for Congress. I know the Guthrie family is well liked for their generous donations to Western Kentucky University and how can we miss their family namesake while on campus (Guthrie bell tower) but you would expect a reporter from NPR to be neutral during a campaign. Not only did Lisa treat me unfairly but she told me (during my interview) very loudly were she stood on abortion. Sure would like to have a copy (unedited) of that interview. Enjoy your nomination Lisa and try to be more concealing of your bias!

Nominee #1 is Joe Gerth for his obvious hatred of David Williams. Sometimes I think Williams must have stolen Gerth’s girlfriend in college or something to provoke such feelings.
Nominee #2 is John Cheves for his obvious hatred of Richie Farmer. See the speculation for Gerth/Williams and just change the name. Either that, or they played basketball against each other in high school and Farmer dumped in 50 against Cheves’ “stellar” defense.

Reporter Most Likely To Make You Smash Your Radio Or Toss Your Computer? Hands Down: Tony McVeigh
Well, not for the reasons that this award was intended, but the fact that this outstanding journalism professional (and I don’t use that lightly) QUIT his job leaves a hole in any coverage of Frankfort shenanigans. And for that, I want to smash my radio or toss my computer.
Sorely missed. And won’t fully be felt until the next session of the General Assembly.

Jake for going off the deep end for weeks on the LMAS issues, ignoring everything else that was going on in Louisville.

Terry Meiners. Ever since her wrote a check to Steve Beshear on September 22nd, 2010.

Terry Meiners is a radio personality, not a reporter.

Dan Klepto for running a hit piece on Hal Henier last year just hours before the election.
Joe “Girth” for not knowing the definition of bias.
