Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
New York Times' Maggie Haberman

After making headlines for weeks, Maggie Haberman's new bombshell book on former President Donald Trump is finally out -- and it's topping the New York Times' best-seller list.

Haberman's book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, contains countless previously unreported scoops and bizarre incidents about the former commander-in-chief.

According to the book, Trump nearly fired his own daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, by tweet. He also reportedly mocked Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's failing health before her passing in 2020 andhad absolutely no idea how Congress works.

Haberman even interviewed Trump three times for her book, getting him to let his guard down and admit he had "incredible things” in his possession after departing the White House. The FBI has since raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in search of classified documents.

The interviews caught the attention of former Fox News host and podcaster Bill O’Reilly, whobitterly complained about the book while sitting down with NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Wednesday.

"The reason my book, Killing the Legends isn't number one is because Maggie Haberman's book, another 'Hate Trump book,' and she’s written like 18 of them, all right, is number one," said O'Reilly, despite the fact that Haberman has written two books.

"Now, Trump gave her three interviews! To a woman who has slashed him for six years!" he added.

Well, there is a reason Haberman has been coined the "Trump-whisperer."

Her book, now sitting pretty at number one, not only breaks news on the Trump White House, but also gives readers a look into the former president's character.

MEDIA LOSER:
The Daily Wire's Candace Owens

The Daily Wire's co-CEOs Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing have both spoken out against one of their employees, Candace Owens, after she defended Kanye West over a series of anti-Semitic posts.

“I think we’ve all expressed our disparate views on Kanye’s comments pretty thoroughly. I don’t begrudge Candace her view, nor do I begrudge her defending her friend. I suspect she is right that he has no hatred of the Jewish people in his heart. She would know far better than I,” Boreing told Mediaite in a statement.

“I think she’s wrong about the anti-Semitism of the remarks themselves. But I’m not in the business of telling our hosts what to think and say, more’s the pity.”

In her defense of West, Owens insisted that any "honest person" would not view West's tweets as anti-Semitic.

As a refresher, in one tweet, the rapper wrote: “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE."

Owens also ignored the anti-Semitic remarks while on Tucker Carlson Tonight this week, and instead celebrated West's “artistic expression.”

Reacting to West's tweets in his own post, Shapiro wrote that West's "'Death con 3' posts and Black Hebrew Israelite language are clearly anti-Semitic and disturbing."

He later addressed Owens' comments during a Daily Wire Q&A.

"On a personal level, I get Candace defending her friend. She's very close with Kanye West. I get it. I don't think that her defense of Kanye is correct or convincing," he said, later adding, "I think Candace is dead wrong."

Owens' position alone is enough to make her our loser. The fact that her employers publicly condemned her for it? Icing on the cake.
