Comedy Gold: Senior Editor at The Atlantic Calls Melissa Harris-Perry
January 8th, 2014 12:35 AM
I kept looking for any sign that Ta-Nehisi Coates, described as "a senior editor at The Atlantic, where he writes about culture, politics, and social issues," was kidding in his Monday afternoon column about Melissa Harris-Perry when he called her "The Smartest Nerd in the Room." He wasn't.
When last seen here at NewsBusters, Coates was pretending that the wealth gap between blacks and whites…

Racy Rev: MSNBC’s Sharpton Mentions Race 215 Times in
January 7th, 2014 10:02 AM
Give Al Sharpton credit: whatever else he’s done – the Tawana Brawley hoax, his inciting deadly violence in the Crown Heights Riots and the Freddy’s Fashion Mart incident, possible money laundering, and more – he’s given MSNBC its money’s worth.
