On Thursday's All In show, MSNBC host Chris Hayes again demonstrated just how far left his views are when he admitted that he has had difficulty understanding the widespread criticism of Rolling Stone magazine over its provocative cover photo of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

 On Thursday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, host Behar quipped that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has returned "like jock itch," after playing a clip of Palin on Fox News Channel making fun of CBS anchor Katie Couric.

VH-1 comedian Don Jamieson on Tuesday took some humorous swipes at Keith Olbermann. Appearing on HLN's "Joy Behar" show, Jamieson commented that Al Gore's Current TV was "harder to find than Osama bin Laden," and moments later asked, "You’re going to go from TV to the Internet? What is [Keith Olbermann] sleeping his way to the bottom?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Vice President of Business and Culture Dan Gainor appeared on the January 24 broadcast of Headline News' “The Joy Behar Show" to discuss the raunchy new teen drama from MTV “Skins.” Gainor, who appeared on a panel with Tina Wells, CEO of Buzz Marketing Group and Rachel Sklar, editor at large for Mediaite.com, highlighted MTV’s blatant push for ratings and lack of consequences on “Skins.”…

As NewsBusters has been reporting, the Gabrielle Giffords shooting blame game has been in full swing since the moment shots were fired in Tucson Saturday. With this in mind, Howard Kurtz invited conservative talk radio host Steve Malzberg and Mediaite editor-at-large Rachel Sklar on Sunday's "Reliable Sources" to fight over whether all the finger-pointing at right-wing figures like Sarah…

Keith Olbermann Wednesday went after "a fired MSNBC employee" who likely was the network's former general manager Dan Abrams.

Rachel Maddow: The Glenn Beck Of The Left?So reads the headline of a column published Tuesday in the left-leaning website Mediaite.For those unfamiliar, Mediaite is the brainchild of former MSNBC general manager Dan Abrams, and was described by managing editor Colby Hall as "Huffington Post meets Gawker."  No surprise there, for two of its other editors, Rachel Sklar and Glynnis MacNicol, both…

Is ABC's Jake Tapper the White House press corps' next David Gregory or journalism's anti-Chris Matthews?Such questions were raised Tuesday in an interesting column about Tapper by the Daily Beast's Rachel Sklar.Unlike virtually all the Obama-loving media, Tapper during last year's presidential campaign was very often a refreshing impartial voice willing to take shots at all the candidates…

It seems not everyone in the liberal blogosphere is smitten with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.Take for example Huffington Post editor Rachel Sklar who on Thursday called out the insufferably arrogant and pompous "Countdown" host for naming CBS's Katie Couric his "Worst Person in the World" previously reported by NewsBuster Brad Wilmouth:Olbermann accused Couric of taking out of "context" comments by…

The Huffington Post is notable mostly for its shrill left-wing bloggers -- see Tim Graham's latest study-- but it can turn up some apolitical gems from time to time. Rachel Sklar's September 17 "Eat the Press" entry is complete with photos of CNN's yummy (at least in Sklar's opinion) John Roberts from his days as a Canadian veejay (h/t TVNewser).: Just over a week ago, we sent out the small,…
