Maddow on Blame for Solyndra Debacle: Bush, Obama, Whatever
September 28th, 2011 7:39 PM
Bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra made a fleeting appearance on the Rachel Maddow show Monday night, just long enough for Maddow to assure her viewers that this too can be seen as Bush's fault.
Maddow did her best to put a shine on the situation, suggesting the Bush administration was at much at fault for considering Solyndra's application for a $535 million federal loan as the Obama…
MSNBC's Matthews, O'Donnell, Schultz and Sharpton Still Haven't Report
September 28th, 2011 3:46 PM
Despite the growing scandal involving failed solar company Solyndra - now officially four weeks old - MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, Ed Schultz, and Al Sharpton have still not reported the matter on their respective prime time programs.
The only regular MSNBC host to mention this subject in prime time is Rachel Maddow who predictably discounted its importance Monday (transcript…
Maddow Consistently Incapable of Distinguishing Few From Many
September 27th, 2011 5:17 PM
Rachel Maddow should never be put in charge of crowd control. Not until she learns to count.
Maddow is clearly flummoxed by what actually constitutes a crowd, as can be seen in her commentary on audiences at Republican presidential debates. (video after page break)
Look, in the Sky! MSNBC Host Chris Hayes Dazzled by Obama's 'Superpowe
September 24th, 2011 7:24 PM
Forget the birther theory that Obama was born in Kenya. Chris Hayes wants you to believe the president was born on Krypton.
How else to explain his over-the-top gushing for Dear Leader during an appearance on MSNBC colleague Rachel Maddow's show on Thursday (video after page break) --
Maddow Lets Jimmy Carter's Dishonesty About Israel Pass Unchallenged
September 21st, 2011 1:31 PM
Rachel Maddow neglected to do her homework before her "exclusive" interview with Jimmy Carter last week -- "exclusive" in the sense that no one else was talking to Carter at the time.
Maddow asked the former president about the ransacking of the Israeli embassy in Egypt, followed by Carter making a jaw-dropper of a claim about Israel's alleged refusal to relinquish land as stipulated in its…

Emmy Host and 'Glee' Star Jane Lynch Mocks Tea Party as Anti-Latina
September 19th, 2011 10:33 AM
It wouldn't be an awards show in Hollywood if there weren't the typical cheap shots against conservatives and the 63rd Emmy Primetime Awards host Jane Lynch didn't disappoint as she mocked the Tea Party as anti-Latina. The star of the Fox hit show "Glee," during that network’s broadcast of the Emmys on Sunday, joked that her "daughter had a tea party with her little friends" where "they…

Maddow Can't Bear the Horror, the Horror of GOP House Victories in NY
September 15th, 2011 8:53 PM
The strangest thing happened last night on MSNBC -- its self-proclaimed civics geek Rachel Maddow ignored the results not one but two special elections the day before to fill vacancies in the House.
I know, I know, hard to believe. I mean, every time Maddow does report on elections results -- such as when Democrats win -- she'll segue into her reporting by mock drumming to NBC's bombastic…
Maddow Claims Perry 'Put to Death' Convicted Killers in Texas
September 15th, 2011 5:01 PM
Ah, this would explain the blood on his hands.
Rachel Maddow continues her yeoman's work as propagandist for Democrats, dishonestly attributing power over sentencing in Texas murder cases to Gov. Rick Perry instead of with juries where it actually resides. (video after page break)
NBC's Engel Is Adamant on NPR: Iraq's Liberation Set Back 'Arab Spring
September 15th, 2011 8:27 AM
George W. Bush spoke out repeatedly during his term for the spread of democracy throughout the Middle East. He said it was insulting to assume that Arabs or Muslims were incapable of democratic reforms. Bush overthrew dictators in Iraq and Afghanistan and allowed elections to proceed. But NBC's chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel, was adamant on National Public Radio on Friday: You…
Maddow Abruptly More Receptive to Tax Cuts During Wartime
September 12th, 2011 11:47 AM
Nice to see Rachel Maddow come around on this.
Maddow has pontificated lately that tax cuts during wartime are not only ineffective but immoral -- which makes her inexplicable change of heart all the more puzzling. (video after page break)
