A piece published yesterday in the Peoria Journal-Star does a good job of highlighting the debate that took place between two Illinois Congressmen — Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Peoria) and Rep. Phil Hare (D-Rock Island) — on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews Tuesday. Watch the video above to understand how screwed up the thinking of people [...]

Obama Gets Failing Grade in MSNBC Survey (Updated)
March 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Though a March 6 poll by NEWSWEEK garnered him a 72 percent favorable rating, President Barack Obama is getting a failing grade in an MSNBC online poll today. Oh, how things change quickly! After casting my vote this morning as one of nearly 175,000 cast in the liberal cable news network’s “unscientific survey,” the graphic [...]

Media Double-Standard Flourishes in Obama Era
February 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment
They dare not question President Barack Obama when he says one thing and does another. They do not challenge him on tough issues. Life in the Obama Era is full of double-standard journalism, thanks to pucker-lipped mainstream media types like MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann. This double standard surfaced for the first time on [...]

‘Affirmative Action Journalism’ Assists Obama
October 6th, 2008 · 8 Comments
If Barack Obama doesn’t win enough electoral votes Nov. 4, it won’t be for lack of trying — on the part of the mainstream news media, that is. The reporting about the Democratic Party presidential nominee has become so biased, in fact, that I can only conclude they’ve implemented a new set of rules, something [...]

Dropped MSNBC Anchors Couldn’t Help Selves
September 8th, 2008 · No Comments
After seeing a photo (above) on the web page of Rush Limbaugh guest host Jason Lewis, I realized dropped MSNBC political anchors Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews probably can’t be blamed for being too biased as they reported from a perch high above delegates at the Republican National Convention. After all, they were probably just [...]

E-mail Message Causes Huck Supporter to Wince
December 19th, 2007 · 3 Comments
I received an e-mail solicitation message from Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s national campaign manager, Chip Saltsman, late last night. Upon reading it, I winced. Second thoughts began to stir in my mind. Had I been premature in throwing my support behind the former Arkansas governor? Read the message below, copied and pasted from the [...]

Matthews on Receiving End of Stewart Hardballs
October 5th, 2007 · No Comments
Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s Hardball, probably wishes he hadn’t decided to appear on The Daily Show Tuesday to promote his latest book, Life’s a Campaign: What Politics Has Taught Me About Friendship, Rivalry, Reputation, and Success. Before his appearance on the Comedy Central program was over, he told host Jon Stewart it was “the [...]
