Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
Benjamin Hall

Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall published an already acclaimed memoir detailing his rescue and recovery after surviving a horrific attack on his crew's vehicle while covering the war in Ukraine last year.

Hall was critically wounded by the Russian attack, losing one leg and both feet, his sight in one eye, and his ability to use one of his hands. The attack also claimed the life of his colleagues and friends, cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian consultant Sasha Kuvshynova.

In his new memoir, published Tuesday, Hall describes hearing his daughter's voice during the attack, which he credits with saving his life, and goes on to detail the mission to retrieve him and deliver him across the border to a hospital in Poland. He also lays the blame for the attack squarely at the feet of Russia.

The Washington Post's Manuel Roig-Franzia hailed Hall's memoir as "a message of hope" and a "compelling account, thick with intrigue" of the tragic incident.

Hall penned a candid and memoir that reveals what he learned from his experiences, remembers his fallen colleagues, and discusses how good people and strong faith have helped him through every step of his rescue and recovery.

MEDIA LOSER:
Keith Olbermann

Former ESPN host Keith Olbermann was roundly mocked for a tasteless take he shared after New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz was injured in the World Baseball Classic.

“First Freddie Freeman, now Edwin Diaz,” he wrote in a Wednesday night tweet. “The WBC is a meaningless exhibition series designed to: get YOU to buy another uniform, to hell with the real season, and split up teammates based on where their grandmothers got laid.”

Olbermann was rage posting about the World Baseball Classic, which consists of players worldwide competing for their native country.

Prior to Díaz's injury, Los Angeles Dodgers first basemen Freddie Freeman sustained a hamstring injury that forced him out of Canada's game.

Olbermann took this as an opportunity to share a crass take aimed at the grandmothers of every player. Rough.

Not only did the post invoke unfortunate images involving the elderly community, but it was also wrong, as players can use other eligibility requirements to play for a country they did not grow up in.

Olbermann has been blasted for his gross and inaccurate comment well into Thursday.
