In their zeal to slam Sarah Palin, Christians and conservatives, MSNBC and Rachel Maddow reported a story from a satire website called ChristWire.org. It doesn’t take too much research to discover that the site is like “The Onion” and everything

I’m not sure how to take this piece from Roll Call about the power of talk radio. Welcome to Congress in the echo-chamber age, where outside influencers have an increasing sway on how Members shape their agenda. At a time
Part 2:
Cooler heads. And honesty. Let’s be honest: Journalists often use military terminology in describing campaigns. We talk about the air war, the bombshells, targeting politicians, knocking them off, candidates returning fire or being out of ammunition. So we shouldn’t act
I am waiting for Ezra Klein to eat a copy of the Constitution and tell us if it’s binding and I am waiting for 60 Minutes to wind down and I am waiting for a presidential debate moderator to crack
We all supported Juan Williams when he was dumped from NPR for actually trying to have an honest conversation about terrorism. We cheered for him as he was hired by Fox News. I applaud O’Reilly when he has Williams host.
Oh, the spirit 0f giving is in the air— With that thought we take a sneek peek under the tree of those who lead this great nation through perilous times—–gifts deserved, gifts needed. JANET NAPALITANO– Binoculars. High powered. Aimed at
Some of the same members of the media, who once sold us on the idea of President Obama being a post racial and post partisan President more than two years ago, are demanding that he gets tougher with his political
Oh my. But there is a real way to save the Obama presidency: by challenging him in the 2012 presidential primaries with a candidate who would unequivocally commit to a well-defined progressive agenda and contrast it with the Obama administration’s
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) speaking on behalf of the “New Tone” the Democrats are trying to strike with Republicans. We wonder if Rachel Maddow will do a special segment about the “dangerous rhetoric” from the left.
Rachel Maddow is deeply concerned about political violence, at least when it comes from the other side of the aisle. This week Maddow devoted an hour of her program to the murder of George Tiller, the Kansas area abortionist who
The Mainstream Media (MSM) has gone “Missing in Action” as the TSA institutes it new comply or don’t fly rules. The Progressive Opinion-makers such as Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and others have fallen silent against these new rules and were
The takeaway from the three clips below is that when you have to explain yourself, you’re losing — and Stewart is desperately having to explain himself. Rachel Maddow obviously likes and admires Stewart but doesn’t buy his above-it-allery for a
FULL INTERVIEW: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: Jon Stewart went on “Maddow” last night for a civil discussion. Watch the full interview here.
Most of the time when a guest appears on a news show he’s there because he’s trying to sell a book. That was certainly the case when Ted Rall appeared on Dylan Ratigan’s show on MSNBC yesterday. What’s different about
Olbermann is back with two clips courtesy of Mediaite. Olbermann vies for the self-effacing guffawing “aw shucks you really love me” but it’s odd to see him not snarling about Fox for more than a minute. In one of the
The details of the Olbermann – MSNBC slapfight are still emerging, but one thing we’re hearing now is that one of Olbermann’s conditions for returning to air was for MSNBC to apologize for the ordeal. And it looks like his
John 8:7 – “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone…”
Especially now that we know his dismissal came by way of his refusal to apologize on air? BEHIND THE CURTAIN: Network sources tell Playbook that Keith Olbermann was suspended because he refused to deliver an on-camera mea culpa, which would
Maddow: “Keith is a liberal, so am I. There are other people on this network whose political views are shared openly with our viewers. We are not a political operation. FOX is. We are a news operation. The rules around
I don’t regularly watch MSNBC, but curiosity got the better of me tonight. For no special reason, I found myself wondering what THE Place for Politics–I can’t bring myself to use the network’s new slogan–would say about the midterm elections
Working as a reporter for the election night coverage on Glenn Beck’s Insider Extreme webcast the other night, I spent five solid (and painful) hours tuned in to the cable network that uses the word Progressive so often that one
Here’s one example of race hustling via liberal commentator Alicia Menendez delivered where else but MSNBC: [youtube eugGUG9HFEE nolink] Another example is MSNBC’s election night panel which consisted of hosts Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews. As
—– Mediaite finds Michael Moore whining about half-decade old jokes told by Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly at his expense worthy of a write up and so we thought we’d counter by giving you a couple opportunities: 1. Please do
Dr. Elizabeth Newhall appeared on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” and explained the virtues and positive benefits of abortion. “This is excellent medicine, this is mandatory for public health, for all of our health, for children’s health…”
So, many people are calling for the de-funding of NPR. After all, why should Americans have to pay for something that’s so fundamentally anti-American? Let’s face it: they didn’t fire Juan Williams for expressing an independent opinion, they fired Juan
As noted here at Breitbart.tv and at Big Journalism on Tuesday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow lied to her audience about a congressman getting advanced notice of the Oklahoma City bombing in order to scare her viewers. Last night, Ms. Maddow corrected
Rachel Maddow and MSNBC have shown repeatedly that they see the people of Oklahoma City as tools. [youtube kd0kyTQpaWc nolink] Though, this it isn’t only MSNBC that uses Oklahoma City to play the Christians Can Be Radicals Too Card –
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow spent most of her show warning America of the dangerous extremists about to be elected to Congress. In her effort to evoke as much fear as possible in her audience, she claimed Rep. Steve Stockman, from the
The left-driven mainstream media is facing one of it’s greatest challenges this election season: the citizen candidate. This election cycle has brought out more “citizen candidates” than any other election cycle in our lifetime. More people are running for office
It took years, but there is something I finally agree with Barack Obama and Al Franken on. Obama and his propaganda machine in the mainstream media, not to mention his party of corruption, are calling for an investigation of “foreign
Rachel Maddow also interviewed Rep. DeFazio’s rival in a chaotic and riveting segment. Watch it here. During Rachel Maddow’s chaotic and riveting “interview” with GOP congressional candidate Art Robinson she continually insisted that she had “already interviewed (Democratic Congressman) Pete
During Rachel Maddow’s chaotic and riveting “interview” with GOP congressional candidate Art Robinson she continually insisted that she had “already interviewed (Democratic Congressman) Pete DeFazio” when Robinson challenged Maddow to probe DeFazio’s finances, support and beliefs in the same aggressive
Former Clinton Chief of Staff Lanny Davis speaks out against the “intolerant and sanctimonious” left personified, in his mind, by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
At the end of her election coverage on MSNBC Rachel Maddow could not contain her glee and began spontaneously clapping her hands as the show came to a close.
Let’s all remember that Rachel Maddow is a very, very, serious journalist.
The venom bubbling below the visible anger of MSNBC’s three nightly hosts — Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow — was unmistakable after President Obama’s speech, in which he praised former President Bush and the brave troops who gave
I have often said, “Once you start down a slippery slope, prepare for a very hard landing.” It seems President Obama is finding that out the hard way as he sought to turn the local issue of the Ground Zero
