On MSNBC's Ed Show this evening, Dean claimed it was possible that in a match-up against Barack Obama, Mitt Romney might win fewer than the six states Barry Goldwater carried in 1964.  Seriously, Dr. Dean? You see President Barack Obama…

Chris Matthews doesn't think much of southerners. The Hardball anchor appeared on MSNBC's primary night coverage, Tuesday, and mocked the supposed thought process of the Republican voters: "They've got three RCs, or two RCs- two Roman Catholics- running and a Mormon, so three cultists running, and they gotta pick one of the three cultists, as they see them." The host sneered, "...But it is…

Witness this exchange from the March 14th edition of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”:

New York Times media reporter Brian Stelter wrote a column for Wednesday's Business section on the "offensive figure" Rush Limbaugh ("After Apology, National Advertisers Are Still Shunning Limbaugh") on the radio host losing advertisers after his "slut" comment on birth-control activist Sandra Fluke was inflamed by the left.

Why?" Heilemann laughably argued: "...it's hard to know why she's not happy with it....the movie is an incredibly…

A day after MSNBC featured a guest who compared Rush Limbaugh to a "serial murderer,"  Tamron Hall on Wednesday eagerly wondered if the radio host "should be canned." The News Nation anchor repeatedly teased a new Bloomberg poll claiming 53 percent of Americans want Limbaugh to be fired. Stoking her liberal audience, Hall wondered, "And should Rush Limbaugh be canned? That's a question that'…

Dear Mr. Griffin, Your network, working on marching orders from Media Matters, is on a mission to take Rush Limbaugh off the air.
