Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro reminded MSNBC Morning Joe’s economic analyst Steve Rattner how the American tax system works, and it was glorious. Rattner took to Twitter to prop up President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion pork-laced stimulus package. Rattner tweeted, “The top 20% of households reaped 65% of benefit from Trump’s tax cuts. The bottom 20% got 1%.”

A former adviser to Barack Obama on Tuesday overturned the media narrative, promoted by the President, that Jonathan Gruber was an unimportant, minor figure.

July 9th, 2012 12:33 PM
Certain events in the 2012 campaign make you ask how would the media respond if a particular story was about Mitt Romney rather than President Obama. Take this past Friday, when President Obama was introduced at an Ohio rally by a man accused to stealing trade secrets from his former employer.
According to a local CBS affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio, Daniel Potkanowicz has been ordered to pay…

December 5th, 2011 8:52 AM
How much do the gang at MSNBC's Morning Joe despise Newt Gingrich and want to derail his run for president?

MSNBC 'Morning Joe' Panelists (Yet Again) Call Tea Partiers 'Economic
July 29th, 2011 3:24 PM
A trend is emerging on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," whereby guests make inflammatory statements likening conservatives to terrorists, and none of the co-hosts insist on a more elevated level of dialogue.
Following in the footsteps of Newsweek's Tina Brown and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), two MSNBC analysts called conservatives in Congress "economic terrorists" and "crazy" on Friday, yet none of the…
MSNBC Gives Disgraced Former Obama Car Czar Platform to Hail Success o
June 3rd, 2011 3:57 PM
Imagine, if you will, that in 2003 Fox News brought on a disgraced Bush administration official who had been barred from Wall Street trading to talk up the president's economic policies. Imagine also that the anchor doing the interview failed to disclose that fact to viewers.
Well, that's pretty much what happened in the 2 p.m. Eastern hour of MSNBC coverage today, when anchor Thomas Roberts…

Former Car Czar Rattner's Creative Term For Fibbing: 'Elasticized the
May 11th, 2010 9:43 PM
If a conservative or Republican uttered the nonsense to be revealed shortly, we'd justifiably never hear the end of it on the late-night comedy shows and elsewhere. As it is, former car czar Steve Rattner's "creative" term for fibbing has and probably will continue to get little coverage outside of Detroit.
