A half hour after wrapping up his on-air duties for the day, MSNBC's David Shuster took to his Twitter account to insist that he is biased, in favor of the truth:
Posted around 5:30 p.m. EDT to his Twitter account:
To all of the wing-nuts who are resorting to the usual tweets today: I am biased in favor of FACTS and biased against lies.

I don't know what happened there...
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 21:09 ET by Tom1969caI just ran it through MS Word to spell-check it because I wasn't sure I'd spelled "condescension" correctly (I hadn't); when I cut-and-pasted the correction into my post all that other crap was added to it, and now it won't let me edit my own post!
I think someone from the DNC wrote the code for this message board... ;-)

It'd only be fair
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:41 ET by FeynmanFanIt'd only be fair to ask Shuster to explain the difference between facts and lies just to give him a chance to show he knows.

Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:52 ET by FeynmanFanBut it would still be fun to hear him explain what he believes to be the difference.

I think he means "fax" from
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:28 ET by celatorI think he means "fax" from the WH telling him what to think and say. Not "facts". Easy mistake to make. I'll check the transcript. ;+}
No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

Facts from a guy named 'Shaister'
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 18:37 ET by SlyrrThat's rich. He's named 'shaister', which is another word for a cheat - a swindler - a fraud.
No wonder senators are wagging their jaws in stunned disbelief and saying to the voters, 'what - don't you TRUST us???'
No. We don't. And we don't trust the media anymore either.
I laughed so hard at Shuster's claim

FACTS for David Shuster
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:34 ET by TheHistorianYou will note that he capitalized FACTS. He will:
Falsify his reports
Accept Obama's lies
Claim that conservatives are nuts
Treat all who disagree with him with scorn
Spew hate all over the airwaves.
That is what David means by FACTS

this - that people and governments never have learned anything from history,
or acted on principles deduced from it."

Oh My
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:48 ET by HoosierEmI think I might be one of those wing-nuts he is referring to. I remind him daily to tune into Glenn Beck on Fox News to get in on some of the better scoops.
Oh well.
Joe Wilson vs. Joe Wilson
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 20:56 ET by Uncle PinkyIs this not the same Shuster who, in another incident involving a Joe Wilson, waved a piece of paper around and informed us that he had Karl Rove's indictment?
Mayhap he has had an epiphany on "facts" since then, but I think he's just a lying French word for "shower", or perhaps a nickname for "Richard" -head.
Still think he can fit nine billiard balls in that gaping maw of his.
STAND UP
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 21:59 ET by ChattychitoSTAND UP AND SUPPORT JOE WILSON'S ACTIONS. THE PRESIDENT CALLED US ALL LIARS AMERICA.
By the way will someone forward shusterd all the copies of the 83 health care reform amendments that were proposed to the house that the Dems voted down because it limited Govt control over the health care of Americans. there are facts to the Lie the POTUS said that the REps never gave any suggestions as if it were a partisan bill. Oh my it is a partisan bill

Facts? David
Thu, 09/10/2009 - 22:01 ET by TEFacts? David Shuster?
Shuster is the fairy who alleged on one of MSDNC's leftist freak shows that "Karl Rove will, in fact, be indicted."
"Facts" indeed.

Typical Orwellian Libtard
Fri, 09/11/2009 - 21:26 ET by RR GOPTypical Orwellian Libtard Newspeak...tell lies and call them "facts".
Of course, something like % 0.0082 of the population of the country even know who this guy is and that's mostly because of sites like Newsbusters...so I wouldn't be too concerned.
