Advocacy Reporter Luke Russert Lectures Boehner on Immigration
The only thing more annoying than NBC's Luke Russert acting as a blatant advocacy reporter is when he pretends to be a political pundit and little Luke did both at a press conference this week when he broadcast his opinion in the form of a question to House Speaker John Boehner at a press conference this week. It wasn't only what he said but also how he posed his question which was done in a…
Luke Russert: 'Smart' House Republicans Aren't The 'God, Guns & Guts P
Call it Luke Russert's version of "bitter clingers" on steroids . . . In Russert's world, there are apparently two kinds of Republican congressmen.

Russert made his statement on today's Morning Joe, responding to Joe…

NBC's Luke Russert, Former Politico Reporter Hype 'Effective' Code Pin

Brian Ross Just the Latest Liberal Reporter to Smear Conservatives Aft
ABC’s Brian Ross's disgusting attempt to link Friday morning’s tragic shooting to a Tea Party member is just the latest example of the liberal media’s knee jerk reaction to impugn conservatives in the immediate wake of horrific crimes. After the shooting of former Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords liberal reporters were quick to condemn the Tea Party and conservatives like Sarah…
Russert Tells Dem Rep 'They Watch This at the White House, God Willing
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday, "NBC News is an annex of the Democrat National Committee, and it is posing as a news network."

Goo-Goo: Luke Russert Decries Simpson-Bowles Defeat
Simpson-Bowles would have: raised taxes by $1.2 trillion--bumping to 21% the tax share of GDP from the typical 18%; relied largely on defense cuts to reduce spending; retained all $2.5 trillion in ObamaCare spending and done nothing to reform Medicare and Medicaid. No wonder Luke Russert loved it.
Appearing on Chuck Todd's Daily Rundown on MSNBC today, NBC congressional correspondent…

NBC's Gregory Aptly Sears Politico In Roast: Paper 'Petulant' and 'Tri
Politico turned five years old yesterday and self-importantly celebrated its survival of infancy with a roast video featuring journalists and pundits celebrating the paper with biting comments.

MSNBC's Luke Russert Stays Objective Despite Aggressive Push from Left
MSNBC congressional correspondent Luke Russert today refused to parrot MSNBC host Martin Bashir's left-wing talking points about House Republicans and their proposal to boost the economy and spur job creation.
