Meet MSNBC’s Debate Hosts: A Bernie Booster and Joe Biden Fan
MSNBC has tabbed a Bernie booster (Rachel Maddow) and Joe Biden fan (Andrea Mitchell) to be the lead moderators for Wednesday’s Democratic debate, so it’s a good bet the questions will be skewed from the left.

Yawn: 95% of U.S. Adults Skipped Friday’s Impeachment Hearings

'MSNBC Republican' Jordan: Republicans Know Trump Is a 'Scumbag'
When it comes to trashing President Trump, there's nothing nastier than an "MSNBC Republican"--the ilk whose livelihood depends on dishing out a dependable stream of bile about the president.

The crazy train was more like a Japanese bullet train on Wednesday’s Hardball following the first round of House impeachment hearings. Why?
