Morning Joe Goes All-In MH370: Better Than Broadcasting Obama's Bungle
March 20th, 2014 8:51 AM
You're MSNBC. That hurts I know, but work with me. So, what would you like to feature: President Obama getting Putinized? Syria flouting the WMD agreement? Iran's inexorable march toward nukes? The ongoing Obamacare debacle?

March 19th, 2014 10:13 AM
“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski is an unapologetic liberal so it should come as no surprise that she would spew liberal talking points on a regular basis. Unfortunately, Ms. Brzezinski has taken it upon herself to repeat the liberal myth that women get paid less than men.

March 18th, 2014 8:01 AM
The line between liberal political punditry and outright, unapologetic, liberal political activism at MSNBC has faded to the very vanishing point.
In the latest promo for his All In show, Chris Hayes boasts "I'm not just a passive witness. I am not there to just tell you a story. I'm there to act out: to do it in real time—to do politics, not talk about it." There's something comic about…
