June 21st, 2017 4:31 PM
You read it here first. Two months ago -- and again last night -- NewsBusters pointed out that there was a major hole in the dominant media theory that GA-06 was a "solidly Republican" district that Republicans should be embarrassed about having to defend in yesterday's special election.

June 7th, 2017 2:54 PM
If an administration is rife with scandal, and no one is around to cover it, is it still a scandal-ridden administration?
Rachel Maddow, back Tuesday night from the illness that had kept her off of the air for over a week, apparently thinks not. Speaking of the Obama administration, she claimed the following.
USAA Claims to Avoid 'Opinion Shows,' But Here's Their Ad on 'Maddow'
May 26th, 2017 10:10 AM

For a real-life example of how to succeed in business without really trying, check out the “Lean Forward” channel, suggests The Week’s Ryan Cooper.

Maddow: Trump Loves Press but Like Hannibal Lecter 'Wants to Kill Us'
May 3rd, 2017 10:20 AM
Comedy gets dark quickly on late night television lately, when you have a president that is so detested by the media. Last night on NBC’s Late Night, host Seth Meyers and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow “joked” that President Trump was just like fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, from the book and movie Silence of the Lambs. The pair laughed that Trump secretly wanted to “kill” the media, while…

MSNBC's O'Donnell: Putin 'Might Have Orchestrated' Syria Strike

The establishment press, even as it works to censor known but inconvenient facts and shout down or constantly interrupt guests who attempt to present them, continually lectures new media, particularly center-right media, about the need for evidence before reporting or even discussing anything in print or on the air. There's hardly a better illustration of what a hypocritical stance this is than…
