Sarah Palin Believes Karma Has Come Around on Katie Couric
By Tim Graham | January 13, 2014 | 7:33 AM EST

Former Gov. Sarah Palin granted an interview to Mario Lopez of the TV show “Extra” to promote her new TV series on The Sportsman Channel. Lopez asked about Katie Couric’s failed afternoon talk show. The subject turned to Katie Couric, who earned a passel of journalism awards for hammering Palin in an interview during the 2008 campaign, while she threw softballs at Joe Biden.

Lopez asked: “Do you believe in karma?”  Palin replied: “I certainly believe that what goes around comes around... I remember getting a couple of texts that said things like, 'Oh sorry that it didn’t work out there at CBS or ABC.”

By Noel Sheppard | January 6, 2014 | 11:34 AM EST

Sometimes I think people at MSNBC have Sarah Palin on the brain.

In a Morning Joe segment about Melissa Harris-Perry’s apology to the Romney family for mocking their adopted black grandson, and former Governor Mitt Romney’s classy acceptance of said apology, host Joe Scarborough for some reason decided to take a totally unprovoked and unnecessary cheap shot at Sarah Palin (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Kurtz: 'Has MSNBC Developed a Culture in Which Harsh Personal Attacks Are Encouraged?'
By Noel Sheppard | January 3, 2014 | 5:25 PM EST

Following Melissa Harris-Perry's smear on Mitt Romney's adopted black grandson - the third in a series of recent high-profile faux pas by MSNBC hosts - Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz asked a question Friday whose answer appears to definitively be "Yes."

"[H]as the channel developed a culture in which harsh personal attacks are encouraged, or at least tolerated?"

MRC's Brent Bozell Reviews Our Worst Media Quotes of 2013 on FNC's 'Hannity'
By NB Staff | January 3, 2014 | 9:29 AM EST

When he revealed to Fox News Channel viewers the winner of the Media Research Center's liberal media Quote of the Year, substitute host Eric Bolling couldn't "run the actual footage" of the description of the disgusting scatalogical treatment that former MSNBC Martin Bashir wished on Sarah Palin "because it's too obscene" for television, MRC founder and president Brent Bozell noted on the January 2 edition of Hannity.

What's also obscene, Bozell complained, was how MSNBC executives never expressed any disgust at Bashir's comments (video below):

Bristol Palin: 'Warning: You Might Lose IQ Points By Watching This MSNBC Clip'
By Noel Sheppard | December 28, 2013 | 4:36 PM EST

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Joy Reid on Thursday badly misinterpreted an Old Testament passage to ridicule former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for having a Christmas tree on Christmas.

On Saturday, Palin's daughter Bristol took to her blog to respond to Reid in a piece she marvelously titled "Warning: You Might Lose IQ Points by Watching this MSNBC Clip":

MSNBC’s Reid Bashes Palin for Having a Christmas Tree...on Christmas!
By Noel Sheppard | December 26, 2013 | 6:51 PM EST

As NewsBusters has reported for years, the hatred liberal media members have for and display towards former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin knows no bounds.

On MSNBC’s Ed Show Thursday, substitute host Joy Reid castigated Palin first for having the nerve to show family pictures on Fox & Friends Christmas Eve – the horror! – but also for having a Christmas tree on - wait for it! - Christmas (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Piers Morgan Accuses Sarah Palin of Getting Martin Bashir Fired By MSNBC
By Noel Sheppard | December 19, 2013 | 5:10 PM EST

Is there an anatomical limit to how many times someone can put their foot in their mouth?

Consider the case of CNN's Piers Morgan who on Twitter moments ago actually accused former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin of getting Martin Bashir fired by MSNBC:

Disgraced Ex-MSNBCer Bashir Wins Biased Quote of the Year; 'Good Riddance' Says MRC's Bozell
By NB Staff | December 18, 2013 | 11:53 AM EST

NewsBusters's parent company the Media Research Center (MRC) proudly announced the Best Notable Quotables of 2013: The 26th Annual Awards for the Year’s Worst Reporting earlier this morning, with former MSNBC host Martin Bashir taking home the “Quote of the Year” honor for a disgusting, misogynist rant aimed at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Not only did Bashir’s November 15 quote take the year’s top prize, he won by one of the largest margins in the 26-year history of Notable Quotables. Here's the offensive garbage which ultimately got him fired:

Bozell Column: Safeguarding Obama Throughout 2013
By Brent Bozell | December 17, 2013 | 10:15 PM EST

Liberal journalists were glowing and full of hope after Barack Obama won a second term. As 2012 drew to a close, there was the traditional hour of ABC’s Barbara Walters fawning: “Mr. President, Mrs. Obama. There is a photograph of you [hugging] that went viral, became the most shared photograph in the history of Twitter. How do you keep the fire going?”

As the second inauguration neared, Newsweek put out a cover image even though they’d stopped printing magazines. Over a picture of Obama, it read: “The Second Coming. America Expects. Can He Deliver?” He laid an egg.

Politico Promotes DNC Demands for GOP to Boycott Limbaugh Show, Fails to Ask If DNC Ever Spoke Out Against Martin Bashir
By Tim Graham | December 14, 2013 | 12:03 PM EST

Dylan Byers at Politico reports that in an effort to reignite their cartoonish “war on women” narrative, the Democratic National Committee has sent an email to supporters asking them to push Republicans to stop appearing on the Rush Limbaugh show – which is a little strange, since Limbaugh rarely has guests.

Limbaugh made a crack about a man saying "Will you please ask your breasts to stop staring at my eyes?" Don't try that at the company Christmas party, but DNC deputy communications director Lily Adams broke out the consciousness-raising narrative, but at no time did the Politico media reporter wonder if Adams and the DNC ever sent an e-mail insisting Democrats should avoid appearing on the Martin Bashir show after his despicable suggestion that Sarah Palin deserved for someone to urinate and defecate in her mouth:
