February 18th, 2013 4:43 PM
Remember all that talk about a post-racial society if Barack Obama was elected president?

Martin Bashir Makes a Fool of Himself Surprisingly With NBCer Kelly O
February 14th, 2013 5:57 PM
MSNBC's Martin Bashir made a bit of a fool of himself Thursday surprisingly with the assistance of NBC News's Kelly O'Donnell.

In today's "Can Someone Help Me Get My Foot Out of My Mouth" segment, the astonishingly pompous and self-righteous MSNBC regular Julian Epstein made an absolutely delicious faux pas Monday while excoriating the character and accomplishments of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
In an appearance on the Martin Bashir Show, Epstein derisively described Cheney as "a guy who failed to get Osama…

Vulgar: Bashir Says Rubio In Senate Hearing Sought To Show He Had 'Ver
February 8th, 2013 5:22 PM
Martin Bashir once again demonstrates that he represents the bottom of the admittedly deep MSNBC barrel . . .

February 6th, 2013 6:10 PM

February 5th, 2013 5:21 PM
Editor's Note: This was originally slated for publication on Feb. 1. We apology for the delay | Many have rightly condemned MSNBC's serpentine editing of a video to make it appear that certain gun rights activists heckled the father of a 6-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook shooting massacre, but let's not pretend this was a one-off event.
The liberal media long ago forfeited their respected…

Video: NB Publisher Bozell Slams Media for Ignoring Al Jazeera's Ties
February 1st, 2013 11:03 AM
While liberal media outlets are slamming Al Gore for hypocrisy over selling his cable network to a Middle East oil magnate, one would "have every reason to not just criticize but condemn Al Gore for selling Current TV to Al Jazeera," because of a far greater reason. It is "a radical pro-Islamic enterprise that is regularly promoting anti-Americanism," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Fox…
