TMH's "YOU GOT NAILED!" award will be granted based upon poor reporting, bad stories, un-professional coverage, general or blatant idiocy in the media, intentional use of propaganda, outright lies, biased "spin" or any other award earning stupidity which occurs during the weekly news cycle. It will be given to a reporter, a magazine or newspaper, a politician, a reporter, or a news anchor.
The award itself is a negative thing, similar to the "Golden Raspberry Awards" for acting. For those of you who are not familiar with "The Razzies," they are handed out on a yearly basis to members of the film industry. They "reward" the very worst in acting, screenwriting, directing, worst overall film, and several other categories. Each "winner" gets a "Razzie" and while it's an award that is definitely earned, it's not something that people in the film industry want to receive or openly covet.
Check out some of the past Golden Raspberry Award "winners" at the following link:

The Media Hammer wants to follow in a similar tradition. And we're reminded of Keith Olbermann's segment on his MSNBC show "Countdown" entitled "Worst Person in the World."
