TVNewser has an item today about MSNBC's David Shuster blasting Rudy Giuliani and Fox News brass while announcing a lawsuit involving the rival news channel (h/t Ian Schwartz):
This is how MSNBC's David Shuster, who once worked for FNC, reported the story in the 9amET hour:
"This is bad news, perhaps not just for Rudy Giuliani, but also for Fox News Channel. Roger Ailes who is in charge of Fox News, a close friend of Rupert Murdoch, he's been close friends with Rudy Giuliani for 20 years. Fox News commentator Sean Hannity led a Giuliani fund-raiser.""Here you have a $100 million lawsuit in which Judith Regan is alleging that there was a smear campaign against her to protect the political agenda of Fox News of News Corp. and that that political agenda was to protect Rudy Giuliani"

This is vintage David Shuster, as we at NewsBusters have documented a long history of the MSNBC reporter's bias such as:
- Calling Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) a "border control fanatic"
- Playing a biased and inaccurate "gotcha" game with Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)
- Gleefully predicting an indictment for former Bush adviser Karl Rove.
