WaPo: Dissenting Lefty Nun ‘Part Zen Master, Part Political Tacticia
Liberal media outlets have never met a dissenting Catholic they didn’t like. The flavor of this month – a liberal nun and her publicity tour group for “social justice” – got the requisite puff piece in The Washington Post to complete the adoration heaped on them by CNN, Time, and MSNBC.

Matthews Slimes: John Roberts Doesn't Want to be Like Slave Judge Behi
According to liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts being the fifth vote to strike down Obamacare would make him the "second Roger Taney," the Civil War-era high judge who delivered the majority opinion in the Dred Scott Case and upheld the Fugitive Slave Act.

MSNBC: 'Gas Prices Down 47 Percent Since April and May

MSNBC Once Again Ignores Inconvenient Facts in Pushing 'Block the Vote
It seems facts are an inconvenient nuisance to anchors at MSNBC, especially when they get in the way of their favored narratives. A perfect case in point is morning anchor Thomas Roberts who treated his 11 a.m. Eastern MSNBC Live audience to an error-laden report on the GOP's supposed concerted effort to "block the vote" in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Roberts began by noting a GOP…
MSNBC’s Martin Bashir Distorts Public’s View of Mitt Romney’s Mo

In a completely ridiculous and extreme statement on his program Tuesday, Bashir claimed that, “he [Mitt Romney] won't talk about his Mormonism because many Republicans see that religion as a cult.”
While there certainly are…
Ouch, New York Times! Actual Ratings of Chris Hayes Show He's Crushed
On Sunday, we pointed out how the New York Times shamelessly plugged MSNBC "wonk prince" Chris Hayes as hot and trendy among young hipsters. The Times should wince now that Jeff Poor at The Daily Caller dug up the actual ratings to embarrass Times writer Alex Williams for hailing the weekend ratings of Up! With Chris Hayes. It turns out the “Uppers” weren’t as numerous or trending as…
Ed Schultz Falsely Claims Obama Didn't Help Kill Immigration Reform in
It really is pathetic that MSNBC is allowed to call itself a "news network."

Sharpton Keen on Extending Social Security, Medicare and Food Stamps
You'd think he wouldn't have such persistent trouble with the "illegal" part of that.
Bad enough, as far as "the Rev" Al Sharpton is concerned, that Republicans want to rein in entitlement spending before America morphs into Greece and brings down much the world with it. (video clip after page break)
Chris Matthews: 'I'm With' Obama 'Putting the Knife In' Romney On 'Out
Remember all those demands for civility in politics after the tragic shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in January, 2011?

Chris Matthews Foams: Voter ID Law Is a GOP Plot to 'Kill Off the Olde
Chris Matthews on Tuesday smeared Pennsylvania Republicans as attempting to "kill off the older voters" by enacting a new voter ID law in the state. The liberal Hardball host offered this baseless charge during a discussion of the true motive behind such GOP legislation across the country.

College Republican Totally Schools MSNBC's Touré on Why Young People
Alex Schriver, the Chairman of the College Republican National Committee, totally schooled MSNBC's new co-host Touré Neblett Tuesday on why young people in America aren't just Democrats.
Schriver did such a marvelous job that you have to wonder if MSNBC's new program The Cycle will consider inviting him back on (video follows with transcript and commentary):
