From Misfit Politics, the group of Big Journalism contributor Ezra Dulis. “Day of Rage!” “Non-violent rage!” “Awareness rage!” I interviewed two Misfits, Brandon Morse and Dulis yesterday on my show and Dulis copped to being the now-infamous voice behind ATTACKWAAAAATCH.
I’ve written before of ESPN’s enforcement of policy concerning political speech. I’m sure you’ll be shocked to know that the selective condemnation extends to radio commentary as well. Don’t everyone gasp at once. We remember how Rush Limbaugh had to
Last Friday, the Daily Caller ran a piece on Mike Tyson’s recent heinous ESPN remarks on Sarah Palin, and the story sparked a massive row amongst conservatives. The gist of Tyson’s remarks was tantamount to advocating rape. Were this about
Ouch. Ten pages into “The Rogue” he has already blown his cover, printing a map to the Palins’ isolated house. He describes having gone to the Palin door with a signed copy of his book about Alaska, “Going to Extremes,”
During the screening for his latest film at the Toronto Film Festival, Harvey Weinstein extended an invitation to tea partiers: … prior to the start of the screening, the sexy actress Olivia Wilde, who plays a supporting role in the
The President’s new site aimed at fighting that with which they disagree collects anything negative written of the President — what it terms “smears.” Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird said the site offers “new resources to fight
I’ve never been shy about my opinions regardless my relationship with any entity, and I’m not about to start now. I was proud to have been associated with last night’s debate, proud because it felt to me truly representative of,
Day two of the CNN/Tea Party Express debate from muggy, sunny Tampa. I arrived on site early this morning for a 6am hit with “American Morning.” All was (mostly) quiet. By the time I left to grab a sandwich, candidates
I’m Tampa with CNN for the CNN / Tea Party Express debate tomorrow night at 8 p.m. eastern. I’ll be off and on with Don Lemon tonight beginning around 6 p.m. Tune in.
Ten years ago at this exact time I was standing in my pajamas in my living room with tears streaming down my face, my hair a wreck. I was a 21-year-old newlywed and mother. My months-old infant sat in a

Florida Sun Sentinel Senior Editorial writer Nicole Brochu yesterday published what I generously call a poorly-written rant worthy of print only on a bathroom wall. It’s embarrassing that this was treated as a serious editorial and published under the newspaper’s
Many of you sent me a video of Herman Cain’s 9/11 tribute. Many individuals have made such tributes; they’re all over Youtube and making the rounds via email. There is no shame in honoring what we lost as a country
Earlier this morning 500 or so members of the AFL-CIO stormed a port in Washington, vandalized the facility, reportedly cut the brake lines of train cars, and held six guards hostage. Shockingly, no one was arrested. Earlier that week a
They may hate the GOP (and Texas, apparently, if you caught how Brian Williams framed his questions to Perry) but they love ratings and they know that Republicans get them. MSNBC racked up viewers — but only during the debate.
Thirty minutes after the conclusion of the debate Chris Matthews spoke to Rick Santorum and slammed him for not providing any answers on gay marriage. “But you didn’t ask any,” Santorum replied. Shorter Matthews: “How dare you not answer the
Hoffa supporters have created a Facebook page on which they have posted the address of tea partier Justen Charters and are encouraging fellow Hoffa supporters to send human excrement through the federal mail system. Why? Because Charters came up with
Kudos to Jake Tapper for showing his fellow White House press members, save for Ed Henry, how journalism is done. Media is supposed to be antagonistic towards the government; they are its check and balance. When media doesn’t do its
Earlier this afternoon Soros and SEIU funded Media Matters’ lackey Eric Boehlert falsely claimed that the St. Louis Tea Party left a coffin on Congressman Russ Carnahan’s lawn. Rep. Carnahan’s mouthpiece smeared the St. Louis Tea Party without apology by
Soros blogs were left scrambling late yesterday evening after spending all day carefully constructing a house of cards narrative designed to spin Jimmy Hoffa Jr.’s incendiary remarks into a positive light. Media Matters specifically accused Fox News of “editing” Hoffa’s
In a write-up of Jimmy Hoffa Jr.’s vitriolic rhetoric in announcing President Obama (wherein he called tea partiers “sons of bitches” declaring the union audience a willing “army” for Obama that was willing to “take out” a portion of America)
I’m joining the roundtable on ABC’s “This Week” tomorrow morning, along with George Will, Jonathan Karl, and Clarence Page.
“What is it about this President that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the president. Why do republicans think that this president is unpresidential and shouldn’t dare to request this kind of thing
Alessandra Stanley, writing for the New York Times, says this on MSNBC’s newest broadcaster, bold my emphasis: The Rev. Al Sharpton began his new career as an official MSNBC talk show host on Monday by telling viewers not to expect
From Breitbart.tv: Using his now familiar bumbling, bewildering and bombastic delivery, Al Sharpton premiered his brand new show on MSNBC, “Politics Nation” with an attack on the GOP presidential candidates saying they want to bring the country back to pre-1960’s
After the Trig scandal made all their advertisers jump ship (except Blogads which has to advertise because they own a stake) Wonkette shows the trick they learned at prog camp: the ability to defecate into a blog template, hit publish,
Friday I raised the question of whether or not ESPN, after their censure of analyst Paul Azinger, were equally quick to reprimand another of their on-air talent, Kenny Mayne for his political Tweets. The response from Andy Hall, who emailed
A note for future prospective ESPN employees: You can only cheerlead Obama at ESPN. I’m not joking. Case in point: The network’s golf analyst, 12-time PGA Tour winner Paul Azinger hit out at the President’s amount of golf games on
Jesse Jackson wasted no time yesterday in using a Martin Luther King, Jr. event to attack the tea party and create racial divide. The event was one of many planned for the days leading up to the official opening of
The goat rodeo that is Mother Jones never lets the facts get in the way of a highly entertaining and bias-fueled story. The outlet most recently demonstrated this with a puzzling story on Brandon Darby, progressive super-activist-turned-conservative FBI informant. Darby
– TWITTER SLAPFIGHT: Eric Bolling vs Thom Hartmann. – MORE SLAPFIGHTS: Piers Morgan vs Keith Olbermann. Point to Morgan. – Katie Couric’s new television show’s name is pure genius. – Conservative media is flocking to Palm Beach, Florida. Who wouldn’t?
Yes, you read that correctly. I supported Christine O’Donnell’s senate candidacy and I felt that some of the attacks waged against her were due specifically to her sex. That being said, I thought the way she handled her interview last
I am so glad MSNBC is leaning forward. Behold: the most awesome and awkward moment of silence on MSNBC ever. Ed Rendell and Michael Steele look genuinely confused. Steele’s fallen expression during Sharpton’s self-imposed silence is precious: Awkward! *UPDATE: Apologies
Daily Mail points out that usually when a candidate, or President (or in this case President Candidate) rides off in a tour bus it’s usually painted with cheerful slogans, colors, and somehow incorporates the American flag or at the very
Last night the story broke about an Ohio businessman who was shot for being non-union: With around 25 employees, John King owns one of the largest non-union electrical contracting businesses in the Toledo, Ohio area. As a non-union contractor, his
The same media who smeared conservatives and Sarah Palin in the wake of the Tucson massacre (causing both Palin and Tucson tea partiers to receive a slew of death threats), the same media who ignored Obama’s “bring a gun to
When the Anthony Weiner story broke progressives tried to deflect by claiming that all the attention given to Weiner was taking the attention off … of … jobs! Biden’s favorite three-letter word! It marked the first time since Clinton that
Move-On-Up.org, the conference for the much persecuted black conservative, did not receive much press in its local media market of St. Louis. In fact, the organizers were attacked by the alterna-weekly right before the conference by writers who I’m told
New tone alert: Madison — Just when you think things are winding down at the Capitol, something else happens. Two members of the Solidarity Singers got into an argument with a group of people observing the noontime sing-along, including University
This is why MSNBC consistently leans forward from behind in cable news ratings. This is also why I found it ludicrous when the network briefly suspended Keith Olbermann after — shockers! — discovering that he donated to … DEMOCRATS! That
