MSNBC's Perry and Matthews Continue With Birther Nonsense, Matthews In
During MSNBC’s Thursday night coverage of the Democratic Convention, Melissa Harris-Perry and Chris Matthews decided to further indulge in their unhealthy obsession with birtherism.

MSNBC Omitted Dem Party-Jumper Artur Davis, Showcased Ex-GOPer Charlie
MSNBC graciously broadcasted Republican exile and former Governor of Florida Charlie Crist’s address to the Democratic Convention during their Thursday night coverage.

Halperin: No Liberal Bias In Saying Story of Dem Attempt To Exclude Go
Methinks the MSMer doth protest too much. If Mark Halperin weren't keenly aware that he was about to try to whitewash a huge vulnerability for the Democrats, why would he have prefaced his remark with the disclaimer that he and others weren't showing liberal bias by claiming it was no big deal?
But that's exactly what Halperin did this on today's Morning Joe. The show rolled video of the…

Coulter Column: Chris Matthews Is a Few Race Cards Short of a Full Dec
Apparently, Monday, Aug. 27, was opening day for Hysterical Liberal Sanctimony About Imagined Republican Racism.
