June 28th, 2013 3:31 PM
When certain liberal politicians appear on MSNBC, Thomas Roberts tends to act less like a so-called journalist and more like a Democrat fan boy. Take for instance a June 28th interview with frequent MSNBC guest Nina Turner, Democratic state senator from Ohio, brought on to discuss a myriad of liberal pet issues.

June 25th, 2013 1:54 PM
When the subject of race comes up, MSNBC has an odd habit of bringing on highly controversial guests with a history of racially insensitive comments to discuss race in America.

MSNBC Uses Obscure GOP Official's Racist Rant to Slam Entire GOP

June 21st, 2013 5:11 PM
The Democratic Party cheerleaders over at MSNBC just can’t get enough of Republican slip-ups.

MSNBC anchors have itching for fresh federal gun control legislation long before the Newtown shooting last December, but the network went into overdrive with the push and hasn't looked back.

Time’s Rana Foroohar Laughably Claims Obama White House Largely Scan

May 14th, 2013 11:59 AM
MSNBC is well-known for excusing the failures of President Obama, usually by blaming Republican “obstructionism” for Obama’s faltering agenda. If that doesn’t work, they will pretend that the Obama administration is free from guilt regarding any criticism it may receive, essentially living in denial. Take the Monday May 13 edition of Now w/ Alex Wagner when Time magazine assistant managing…

Except for 'Morning Joe,' MSNBC Ignores S.C. Dem’s Racist Attack On

May 7th, 2013 11:43 AM

We here at NewsBusters are often extremely critical of MSNBC’s Morning Joe as it often sets the agenda for the daily bias on the cable network. There are a few times, such as the Gosnell infanticide trial, when Morning Joe will actually prompt the rest of the liberal network to begin covering a story that it had previously ignored. Unfortunately that's not the case with Dick Harpootlian's…
