David Brooks: Gov. Walker Excluded Wisconsin Cops and Firefighters for

Ed Schultz Exposed for Exaggerating How Much Wisconsin Governor's Plan
As NewsBusters reported Saturday, Rachel Maddow wasn't the only MSNBC commentator last week that lied to viewers about the budget battle in Wisconsin.

Al Sharpton Continues Politically Motivated Campaign to Censor Rush Li
Al Sharpton appeared on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" Monday night to once again demand that the federal government censor Rush Limbaugh.
