Stelter, a No. 1 seed, handily won the “Way Too Online Hacks” division of the tournament against Daily Beast editor-at-large Molly Jong-Fast, earning 85.7 percent of the vote. In the Final Four he then triumphed against “Establishment Hack” division winner Rachel Maddow, who had defeated the number three seed, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.
Meanwhile, Acosta got into the final four by beating out bested his colleague, CNN anchor Don Lemon, who got a huge boost after he called Trump supporters “credulous boomer rubes.” However, Acosta was dusted in an upset by the “conservative” Jennifer Rubin, the No. 2 seed. She made it into the final four by knocking off the other fake conservative, CNN’s Ana Navarro.
So now it’s down to the final two competitors, CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter and MSNBC contributor Jennifer Rubin.
Voting will be going on tonight during halftime of the Super Bowl.

From Fox Wilmington
A spokesman for Smug Industries told Fox News: “Smug thanks every lib entrant remaining. We’re looking at real generational talents here. The final four hacks share a lot of key qualities: shamelessness, immunity to cognitive dissonance, paranoia, hypocrisy, and a loose relationship to facts. Victory will go to whoever wants it most. With 832,296 votes cast so far, one thing is clear: this is all coming down to turnout.”
