MSNBC’s Ratigan Scolds Colleague Martin Bashir for Partisan Hackery
At the end of Martin Bashir’s show Friday, Dylan Ratigan called Martin out for his failure to call Democrats charlatans and hypocrites. During what is normally a cheerful banter between the two colleagues, Ratigan said Bashir loves to criticize Republicans on policies he disagrees with but never takes critical aim at Democrats.
Ratigan pointed out Bashir’s failure to ever point out the serious fallacies in his show by never bringing up Democrats’ blunders with health care reform or the financial markets and instead only focusing on Republicans. Bashir was left speechless, as you can see by the video embedded after the page break. [See video below. MP3 audio here]

Since we're into the Martin Bashir mode of stereotyping.

Martin Bashir is, for me, one of the largest pieces of filth on televison
I do not hide my hatred of him
Ratigan does try to be fair minded...so I expect he'll be fired soon from MSNBC
It's important to note that

Ratigan is coming at this from the left and his complaints of Democrats are that they're not socialist enough; but the point remains, MSNBC in general and Bashir in particular are not known for presenting a point of view that even approaches the center.
Exactly

Bashir is just a bought and paid for talking head, where Ratigan is like Olbermann, an ultra leftist ideologue.
excellent points

I hope he passes that kidney stone soon. The look on his face will get me through the weekend.
What's really funny....

...is how Bashir's mouth keeps opening and closing while Ratigan bashes him from the left. A fish looks that way after it's been caught.

Ratigan attacks from the left

by attempting to infer it was those evil corporations that passed the law or something. Funny, I never saw any corporation signatures on the ObamaKillCare bill. This law is just there to destroy private industry just like the majority of all Democrat legislation is. Cannot implement communism without destroying capitalism first.
No worries

Lucky for Bashir he's on MSNBC instead of a network that real people watch

Obviously Ratigan is producing an audition tape for Fox.
Bashir continues to be the same malignant Humunculus with an English accent
All of the above Mr Obama? --- How about ALL OF THE BELOW, instead.
