MSNBC Allows Dem Strategist to Claim DC Shooter Brought 'Assault Weapo

New MSNBC Ad Reminds: Chris Matthews Was a Democratic Operative for Ti
MSNBC isn't even trying anymore. A new ad for Hardball actually touted Chris Matthews's past as a Democratic operative for Tip O'Neill.

(Considering that Matthews famously extolled the "thrill" Barack Obama sent up…

How the Liberal Media is Misleading You About Food Stamp 'Cuts
If you listen to the left, you're probably hearing about food stamp "cuts."
What you're probably not hearing is, as Ira Stoll reported in the New York Sun, that the Democrats wanted to increase food stamp spending by 65% over the next ten years but Republicans passed a bill to raise it by only 57%, so partisan spinners and liberals in the media are calling what the GOP passed "a cut."

MSNBC’s 'NewsNation' Uses Chicago Gang Violence To Again Push For Gu
There was another horrific gang-related shooting last night in Chicago, the gun control capital of the United States. Despite that city’s already-strict limits on firearms, MSNBC’s News Nation used the tragedy to push yet again for gun control.

Media Mash: MSNBC's Schultz Wonders Why 'People Don't Love Obama
It "amazes" MSNBC's Ed Schultz "that people don't love Obama" and think he's doing a stellar job handling the economy. Reacting to a video clip of that absurd rant, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told the audience of Sean Hannity's September 19 program the reasons why.
There's "1.9 million less jobs" now than when President Obama took office, not to mention "47,600,000 Americans on food…

Chris Matthews Sneers: 'Looney Tunes' GOPers Want to 'Kill the Recover
Chris Matthews on Wednesday continued his assault on conservatives who oppose the funding of ObamaCare in the coming fiscal showdown, sneering that the "looney tunes" Republicans want to "kill the recovery."

Nicolle Wallace: Republicans Trying To Defund ObamaCare Like Two-year
A Morning Joe kind of Republican? With Joe Scarborough absent today, was Nicolle Wallace assuming the role of the Republican who gets more satisfaction from ripping fellow members of her party than in criticizing Democrats?
Wallace mocked congressional Republicans who are trying to defund ObamaCare, analogizing them to two-year olds on scooters racing into traffic against a red light. She…

MSNBC's Ed Schultz Compares Obama to George Patton, GOPers to Nazi Gen
Are film references a prerequisite for a 5pm show on MSNBC? Ed Schultz, who took over for movie-mad Chris Matthews, on Wednesday compared Barack Obama to George C.
