Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
Trey Yingst

In a heart-wrenching op-ed published Sunday by USA Today, Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst revealed that he has been dealing with post-traumatic stress from his time in Ukraine.

“The past year, while covering the war in Ukraine, I have reported under incoming fire, seen lifeless bodies strewn across landscapes and experienced complex grief that I still process today,” Yingst wrote. 

Yingst shared that he doesn’t anticipate the trauma he has been dealing with will go away any time soon, revealing that the invasion of Ukraine was especially difficult for him to witness.

He was candid about the cost of covering war, opening up about his trauma and revealing, his time in Ukraine altered his "life and mind forever."

Yingst, however, assured readers that despite the challenges, he does not regret staying to cover such a violent war after most of the Fox News had pulled out.

The correspondent said that he feels a responsibility to help “normalize the discussion around mental health,” and advocated for mental health resources — which he says his network has provided.

Yingst has delivered consistently impressive reporting throughout the invasion, and through this op-ed, opened up about the horrors of war and the impact it has on people.

MEDIA LOSER:
Scott Adams

Hundreds of newspapers dropped the Dilbert comic strip last week after creator Scott Adams encouraged White people to “get the hell away from Black people."

Adams' comments, made on the Wednesday episode of Real Coffee with Scott Adams, quickly went viral, garnering condemnation and shock across social media.

During the episode, Adams cited a Rasmussen poll that posed the question, “is it okay to be White.”

According to the survey, 26% of Black respondents answered “no” to the question.

“If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people – according to this poll, not according to me – that’s a hate group. That’s a hate group, and I don’t want anything to do with them,” Adams said, ignoring that the majority of Black respondents said it was “okay” to be White.

He went on to advise White people "escape" Black people, as it’s “no longer a rational impulse” for a “White citizen of America to try to help Black citizens.”

Adams has defended his comments and insisted he was not promoting discrimination -- though most have viewed the rant differently.

While Adams insisted he is now a victim of cancel culture, as Mediaite's Colby Hall put it: "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
