January 23rd, 2014 3:05 PM
On her Tuesday MSNBC show, host Andrea Mitchell tried to downplay the controversy swirling over the misleading biography put forward by Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis: "[She's] being forced to answer media reports down there that she had slightly altered her resume or focused on the single mom aspects of it and didn't really give the timeline correctly." [Listen to the…

MSNBC Showcases Six Pro-Choice Guests, Zero Pro-Lifers on Roe v. Wade

January 23rd, 2014 1:20 PM
The annual March for Life took place yesterday in our nation’s capital, and MSNBC marked the occasion by inviting a slew of pro-choice guests onto its daytime programming to slime the pro-life movement without giving any pro-lifers a chance to respond. Between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, MSNBC featured six pro-choice guests and zero pro-life guests. During the 11 a.m. hour of MSNBC Live…

MSNBC’s Reid: GOP A ‘Three-Legged Stool’, Including ‘Archie Bu

January 23rd, 2014 12:57 PM
The Republican National Committee (RNC) is currently having its annual winter meetings, and what better way for MSNBC to discuss its progress than to bring on two liberal reporters to discuss the gathering. During her January 23 Jansing and Co. program, host Chris Jansing invited on no Republican to discuss the RNC meetings, instead opting to bring on MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid, who herself is a…

In Front of Sharpton, MSNBC's Wolffe Says 'There Are People Who Enjoy

January 22nd, 2014 7:09 PM
A big irony occurred on Tuesday's PoliticsNation when MSNBC's race-obsessed host, Al Sharpton, devoted a segment to fretting over right-leaning talk radio hosts and FNC hosts who have complained about a recent comment by President Barack Obama about there being "some" who harbor racist sentiments toward him.  But it was MSNBC political analyst and MSNBC.com Executive Editor Richard Wolffe who…

MSNBC's Sharpton Defends Wendy Davis's Misleading Bio, Just 'Minor Det

January 22nd, 2014 6:11 PM
On Tuesday's PoliticsNation on MSNBC, host Al Sharpton pretended that the misleading details liberal hero Wendy Davis has used to exaggerate her biography are merely "minor details" and actually suggested that it is the "right wing" who should be embarrassed by repeating the revelations as he ended his regular "Nice Try" segment by proclaiming:

MSNBC’s Jansing Shocked That Pope Francis Opposes Abortion

January 22nd, 2014 2:55 PM
Today marks the 41st annual “March for Life” in which thousands of pro-lifers ascend on Washington D.C. to mark the Roe v. Wade decision and show their solidarity in opposition to abortion, many of them faithful Catholics. Not surprisingly, Pope Francis sent out an official tweet showing his support for the “March for Life” in which he said, “I join the March for Life in Washington with my…

MSNBC’s Jansing Rushes to Defend Wendy Davis From Questions Over Bio

January 21st, 2014 1:54 PM
MSNBC darling Wendy Davis is in some hot water over inaccuracies surrounding her personal biography. According to the Dallas Morning News's Wayne Slater -- no conservative he, by the way --  despite Ms. Davis’s own claims, she was 21, not 19 when she was divorced and living in a trailer as a single mother. Despite the glaring factual inconsistencies in Ms. Davis’s own biography, on January 21…

After Comparing Christie to Nixon for Nine Days, Chris Matthews Discov

January 21st, 2014 12:44 PM
Chris Matthews really doesn’t listen when he speaks.  On every program since Chris Christie’s bridge scandal broke on January 8, the MSNBC anchor has smeared the Republican governor as just like Richard Nixon in Watergate. Matthews has done this for nine straight shows, including the January 20 edition. However, on the same program, with no sense of self awareness, a thought occurred to the…

January 21st, 2014 11:56 AM
MRC president Brent Bozell appeared near the top of “The Kelly File” on Fox News Channel Monday night to discuss the liberal media’s sudden ardor for Dawn Zimmer, the Democratic mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, who claimed Gov. Christie was handing out federal superstorm-Sandy subsidies in a corrupt and politicized way. Kelly noted she would not answer questions from Fox News. Kelly pointed out…

Al Sharpton Complains That President Obama Discourages Him From Discus

January 21st, 2014 10:23 AM
MSNBC’s Al Sharpton mentioned race 215 times last year according to research done by my colleague Katie Yoder. And yet, despite the Reverend’s obsession with race, the MSNBC host seems to believe he isn’t able to discuss race as much as he would like. The bombastic MSNBC host appeared on Morning Joe on January 20 to complain that President Obama personally told him and other civil rights…

Scarborough To Rich Who Shield Money Abroad: 'You're Not Welcome in th

January 21st, 2014 8:49 AM
Is Joe Scarborough taking tips from NY Governor Andrew Cuomo? Cuomo recently declared that conservatives who are pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and opposed to gay marriage "have no place in the state of New York." On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough took things a step further, telling rich people who shield money abroad to reduce their taxes "you're not welcome in the United States of…

Joe Scarborough Admits MSNBC Hosts 'Gleefully' Attacking Christie

January 20th, 2014 9:41 AM
Appearing on Monday's NBC Today, MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough acknowledged how eager his colleagues at the left-wing network were to take down Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie: "I mean, listen, you can attack the network if you want to, there are a lot of people that go after him gleefully, that's not shocking." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]…

Thomas Roberts Kvetches: Joe & Mika 'Eviscerating' Christie-Accusing H

January 20th, 2014 9:24 AM
Where is Willie Geist when we need him?  Thomas Roberts—who has replaced Brian Schachtman as Way Too Early host—is seemingly also taking over much of Geist's turf as Morning Joe sidekick.   And whereas Geist was, at least in the MSNBC context, a voice of affable equanimity, Roberts is an unabashed liberal advocate.  Witness today's Morning Joe. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski questioned…

Melissa Harris-Perry Pronounces Marine Corps Motto Semper 'Fee

January 19th, 2014 12:24 PM
Call it Melissa Harris-Perry's "corpse-man" moment . . . In a segment on the role of the US military during her MSNBC show this morning, Harris-Perry, quoting the Marine Corps motto, pronounced it Semper "Fee."  Marines of course pronounce it "fye" [scroll over phrase at link to hear pronunciation.]  Harris-Perry surely meant no disrespect. But it is a mark of just how detached she and so…
