May 17th, 2013 6:22 PM
Appearing as a guest on Thursday's PoliticsNation show on MSNBC, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank mocked House Republicans for repeatedly holding unsuccessful votes to repeal ObamaCare as he suggested they should continue to "waste" time so "they'll be less of a harm to the country" because that way "they're not cutting food stamps."

MSNBC’s Al Sharpton Ludicrously Claims Small Biz Backs ObamaCare
May 17th, 2013 4:02 PM
The “journalists” at MSNBC continued to fawn over ObamaCare on Friday’s Morning Joe, even in the midst of startling criticism for the bill from David Gregory, liberal host of Meet the Press.

MSNBC Cuts Away from IRS Hearing To Interview Dem Congressman Slamming
May 17th, 2013 12:21 PM
For a brief period on the morning of May 17, MSNBC was actually acting like a real news network. Starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern on Friday, MSNBC carried live coverage of a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the Obama IRS scandal, but apparently actual news coverage can only last so long before the network breaks out in hives from objective journalism.
Following an hour of live coverage…

Luke Russert: 'Smart' House Republicans Aren't The 'God, Guns & Guts P
May 17th, 2013 7:53 AM
Call it Luke Russert's version of "bitter clingers" on steroids . . . In Russert's world, there are apparently two kinds of Republican congressmen. The "smart" ones—to be found on the Ways & Means Committee—and the others, whom he calls the "God, guns and guts people," presumably in reference to this book.
Russert made his statement on today's Morning Joe, responding to Joe…

May 16th, 2013 2:59 PM
Sometimes it's what they neglect to mention that's more revealing than that was.

'Morning Joe' Panel Does a 180, Ready to Forgive and Forget Obama Admi
May 16th, 2013 2:56 PM

Co-host and liberal activist Mika Brzezinski "felt good about" the conference, lauding the…

May 16th, 2013 1:48 PM
Thursday's CBS This Morning did its best to shift blame away from President Obama on the IRS, Justice Department, and Benghazi scandals currently surrounding his administration. Bob Schieffer shot down comparisons to the Watergate scandal that led to former President Richard Nixon's resignation: "This is not the Nixon administration, where you had burglars and people talking about blowing up…
Morning Joe's Mika Laments GOP Being Right On IRS Targeting Conservati
May 16th, 2013 11:14 AM
MSNBC brews up a fresh pot of liberal talking points every morning with Morning Joe and its liberal co-host Mika Brzezinski. Brzezinski lets it known every day that she is not only extremely liberal, but looks for every opportunity she can to criticize conservatives on a regular basis.
But as a result of her fervent partisanship, Mika has trouble admitting when conservatives are right on an…

Chris Matthews: Media Are 'Pro-Obama'; If President Disagrees, He's 'C
May 15th, 2013 5:56 PM
Even Chris Matthews admits it. Talking to the liberal Alex Wagner on Wednesday's Hardball about the IRS scandal, the cable host came clean on the press and their love for Barack Obama. After Wagner insisted that the President was tired of an "unfair media," Matthews scoffed, "Let me tell you something. The press has generally been pro-Obama. That's a fact." If the President disagrees, "he's…
