'Fox News Watch' Cites NewsBusters Report About MSNBC Prime Time Ignoring Solyndra Scandal

By NB Staff | September 17, 2011 | 17:09

A  A

As NewsBusters reported Friday, despite the growing scandal involving solar panel company Solyndra and President Obama being sixteen days old, the prime time programs of MSNBC have not said a single word about the matter.

When "Fox News Watch" discussed the media coverage of this issue Saturday, the "American Conservative's" Jim Pinkerton noted our findings (video follows with transcript and commentary):


JIM PINKERTON: Well, the e-mails as I think Brian Ross at ABC pointed out actually say, OMB saying, “This is a bad idea, don't do it.” And the Washington Post reported that Solyndra executives visited the West Wing - not just the White House, but the West Wing - 20 times, 2-0 times. And this would be quite a story except as Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters pointed out MSNBC prime time has never touched it once.

For the record, the silence on this issue has now gone to seventeen days without a single mention on an MSNBC prime time program.

Could their allegiance to the President be made any more obvious?

may be "exposing and combating liberal media bias", but the solid news,facts and information obtained from this site daily is substantial. When I want to know what is happening right now, my two primary resources are Drudge and NewsBusters.

How could

Submitted by grammajane on Sat, 09/17/2011 - 10:48pm.

BSMBC prime time report any important news? They are working 24/7 making up their own news bashing Conservatives and the Tea Party. It must be rather difficult that they all make sure they are lying about the same thing and come across appearing news-worthy and repeat it from 5.......11pm. The only difference in their reporting is one may yell louder or miss-read the telepromter and their whole prime-time is, a circus and gives Newsbusters and Rush daily material for their web-site and radio show.

That's because they are owned

That's because they are owned by Soros & the White House. The so-called journalists at MSNBC can't think for themselves.

Props to NB!!!

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
