The American Prophet 'most and least' awards for 2014-15
By Michael Bresciani
We have the Oscars, the Grammys, the Tony's and a full plethora of awards given to the best and not so great artist, performers and others, why not one for the Internet and news media "Best and Least?' Other categories will be 'the most likely to,' 'the worst' and the indescribable. We will include a few TV shows and other media to round out the awards.
Yes, it is ersatz, but it may become a tradition before you can turn around. If you find your name here or your website, don't panic, we are open to changes, apologies and excuses – we learned that from the media itself. And yes, by all means we are biased. We are motivated largely by what is true and also uncovering what is blatantly false and ridiculous.
We also want to congratulate those that made the list and remind all that there is no award ceremony, no actual awards and no trophies.
Being basically a Christian site we are motivated by the tenets of the Bible and the sentiments found in the old and much beloved Christian Hymn "The Old Rugged Cross." One line from the refrain in the song summarizes our approach to awards and trophies.
Most seasoned writer and director of any Christian website – David Reagan of Lamb & LionMinistries
Best and most experienced newsman of any internet news outlet – Joseph Farah of WND.com
Most likely to ask questions and turn them into a news item – WND.com
Most dignified, non-blogging site with the largest cross section of authors – Renew America.com
Most likely to tell nothing, but lies, about sites that tell nothing but the truth – Right Wing Watch
Most brutally honest about the emerging and brutal 'gaystapo' – Americans for Truth
The most pompous and sometime obnoxious TV news anchor, that somehow, we are glad is still on the air, Bill O'Reilly
Best editor and fiercest defender of truth on the entire internet – J. Matt Barber
Most reliable defender of American values and pro-life causes – Family Research Council
Best all-around editorials from a business site on the web – Investors.com
Best female editor and Canadian website on the net – Judi McLeod of Canada Free Press
Best coverage of how current events relate to Bible prophecy (this choice is definitely biased) American Prophet.org
Most spirited and classy female editor of a conservative site – Victoria Jackson
Best new Christian news site with top level authors – The Olive Branch Report
Most powerful and completely honest title ever used by an internet writer "Terrorists and Our Idiot President" by Alan Caruba

Classiest Cubano since Desi and staunchest defender of American values since Reagan – Ted Cruz
Top two sites that remind us that life is a battlefield – not a playground Voice of the Martyrs and Voice of the Persecuted
Most beloved evangelist of all time still bringing us the truth – Billy Graham.org
Some of these sites and people are listed for awards in the most facetious manner while others are simply honesty coming home to roost. This list could be much longer, but since it would be far too long we will have to trim it here. It suffices to say, that if we missed your site – we apologize.
For all mentioned here, please don't show up for your trophy – your work will have to be your reward.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
