Liberal Bias in Yahoo Career Do's and Don'ts
December 29th, 2008 12:32 PM
What could have been a fairly apolitical "Career Do's and Don'ts from 2008" retrospective has become an exhibit of how liberal media bias is ubiquitous in digital media. E-mail tipster John Genin informed us of how Yahoo! HotJobs writer Tom Musbach cited liberal heros Barack Obama and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow as worthy of emulation while citing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's wardrobe non-scandal as a…
Maddow Frustrated by Lower Goldman Sachs Tax Rate, Leaves Words Out of
December 18th, 2008 12:25 PM
In an attempt to play Main Street against Wall Street, Rachel Maddow mocked and criticized the rate at which Goldman Sachs was taxed this year. The MSNBC host of "The Rachel Maddow Show" lamented that the investment bank Goldman Sachs, which reported a $2.12 billion dollar loss for the fourth quarter ending Nov. 28, paid only 1 percent in taxes for the entire year during her Dec. 18 show. "Five…
Clownish Rachel Maddow Rewrites History of Great Depression, Reinforce
December 15th, 2008 2:13 PM
Must have been that full moon. Or "fool full moon" as Rachel Maddow stumbled in referring to it.If the Newseum is accepting suggestions for exhibits, a possibility comes to mind -- the Pantheon of Unfortunate Punditry. First submission -- Maddow's hilarious revisionism of Herbert Hoover on her MSNBC show Friday. I've watched the segment several times, each time in awe at Maddow's supreme…
Pimp My Show: Shuster Replaces Gregory at
December 15th, 2008 11:09 AM
MSNBC has banished the last bastion of objectivity from its line-up of evening hosts. The network has announced that David Shuster [file photo] will be replacing David Gregory as host of '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.' [H/t Mike Allen's Political Playbook.] Gregory, his pending Meet The Press appointment no doubt in mind, had been on his best behavior while hosting 1600. Shuster will be under no such…
Maddow: Republicans Crusading 'Against Very Idea of Americans Making G
December 12th, 2008 9:53 PM
Though there's not a ruble's worth of difference between their politics, I normally find Rachel Maddow a kinder, gentler, smarter version of Keith Olbermann. Not tonight. Granted, the Countdown host was on hiatus. But even if Olby had been around, he would have been hard-pressed to outdo Maddow for sheer silliness.The preposterous proposition Rachel propounded? Republicans just don't want…
Rachel Maddow Condemns Alleged Revisionism on Iraq, Engages in Actual
December 9th, 2008 3:21 PM
Rachel Maddow is on a mission -- to stop what she perceives as egregious revisionism when it comes to the war in Iraq. And if Maddow has to engage in the real thing to indulge her outrage, all while airbrushing away the ominous decade between the Persian Gulf war and 9/11, so be it. The media's fave lefty mouthpiece of the moment has been in high dudgeon, her indignation initiated by Stephen…

Is MSNBC being rewarded for having backed Obama? That's what Jim Pinkerton suggests.
