Bill Nye 'The Science Guy': Denying Climate Change 'Unpatriotic,' 'Ina
Challenging someone's patriotism is a pretty hefty charge to level in the political arena, based on the response when Barack Obama's patriotism was challenged during the 2008 election cycle. However, there seems to be a different set of rules when it comes to questioning the authenticity of the manmade global warming argument in the wake of record-setting snowfall in the Mid-Atlantic. And this…

Maddow Excels as Exemplar - of Intellectual Dishonesty

Four, the applicant responds.Second applicant, same question. The response -- what do you want it to be? You're hired, he's told.After watching Rachel Maddow's default tendency toward deceit for more than a year, I wonder if those seeking work at…

Memo to MSNBC: Media Companies Are Corporations Too
The left is up in arms over the Supreme Court's recent decision in "Citizens United v. the Federal Elections Commission".

Behar Panel Blames Gender for Air America Failure; Says Liberals Too S
Bad content? Bad business model? No, those reasons aren't why Air America is no longer with us. Air America, a radio network advertised as the next talk radio juggernaut in 2004, was supposed to revolutionize the format and provide a "counterweight" for those left-of-center politically. But there's another reason according to HLN host and "The View" panelist Joy Behar. In the usual fashion of…

Opinion: On Tuesday 'Yes We Can' Became 'No You Don't
Barack Obama certainly didn't expect to receive as an anniversary gift a previously little-known Republican stealing Ted Kennedy's vacated Senate seat along with the President's precious filibuster-proof majority. But with Scott Brown's surprising victory in Massachusetts Tuesday night, that's exactly what the chief executive got 364 days after putting his hand on the Bible swearing to protect…
Norah O'Donnell Bemoans Lack of Attention to Waterboarding During Brow
Watching a dour Norah O'Donnell reporting from Senator-elect Scott Brown's exuberant victory bash in Boston, I half-expected O'Donnell to tell MSNBC's Rachel Maddow ... the mood here tonight is grim ...O'Donnell didn't quite say that, at least not publicly, though she did cough up this gem --O'DONNELL: Another interesting thing. You pointed out some of the odd things, talking about the…
