'OBAMA'S KATRINA' Don't Blame Us, This Is Coming From The Left Occasionally, lefty pundits make unusually candid admissions during liberal talk radio interviews that would never occur elsewhere. The latest example comes from MSNBC's David Shuster, a committed Obamist, but in this case sounding the alarm over what he sees as Barack's odd indifference to rising unemployment. Could it become "Obama's...
By GottaLaff Maybe he was as frustrated as many of us have been, and felt things weren't moving efficiently enough. Just speculating. Then again, he could have just been fed up with working for BushCo holdovers : The Pentagon's top detainee affairs policy appointee has quit the Defense Department just seven months into the job , a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday. Phillip Carter, a former Army captain...
By GottaLaff Oh, that ditherer. He actually took time to think this through and meet with experts. What will Cheney say? And who cares? President Barack Obama met Monday evening with his national security team to finalize a plan to dispatch some 34,000 additional U.S. troops over the next year to what he's called "a war of necessity" in Afghanistan, U.S. officials told McClatchy. [...] As...
So, how much time did MSDNC devote to Saturday night's historic vote? Nine minutes . To be fair, David Shuster did have a few tweets during the day as well.
Subject: txt msm bias bdd fnn - 1st - One year ago one week before Thanksgiving -- MSNBC ridiculously plastered “BREAKING NEWS” on-screen for video of Sarah Palin at a turkey farm just after pardoning one, running more than three minutes of video of some turkeys being slaughtered by a man in the background behind her. Palin, then just weeks off the presidential campaign trail, was simply...
Another Saturday night, another vote on Capitol Hill on healthcare reform, and coverage of it on cable news. The vote, which essentially allows the debate to begin on the Senate floor, was 60-39, with Ohio GOP Sen. George Voinovich the only senator not to vote. Interestingly, all the cable news channels were in taped programming and shook up the schedules to broadcast the Senate vote and related analysis....
By GottaLaff Good news and hope for those detainees who should not be there in the first place: Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed, an Algerian national who was captured in Pakistan and turned over to the U.S. military after fleeing from Afghanistan, was ordered released from the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay by a U.S. District Court judge yesterday, according to the human rights group CagePrisoners....
• Fox Business will cover the Senate vote on healthcare reform tomorrow night. Coverage begins at 8pmET with David Asman anchoring from New York and Peter Barnes reporting live from Capitol Hill. > Update : MSNBC will break in to documentary programming for the vote with David Shuster anchoring ( after watching the Michigan/Ohio State game apparently).

One year ago tonight, Thursday, November 20 -- like today, the Thursday one week before Thanksgiving -- MSNBC ridiculously plastered “BREAKING NEWS” on-screen for video of Sarah Palin at a turkey farm just after pardoning one, running more than three minutes of video of some turkeys being slaughtered by a man in the background behind her. Palin, then just weeks off the presidential campaign...
Have a close look at the screencap [larger image after the jump]. Notice what Norah O'Donnell's holding in her left hand? Those are notes, with factoids from the 2008 presidential campaign. She's reading from them to challenge a Sarah Palin supporter who was waiting in line at the book signing yesterday in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We all remember how back during the '08 campaign, MSM reporters would...
By GottaLaff This is disturbing, but sadly, not surprising: The CIA built one of its secret European prisons inside an exclusive riding academy outside Vilnius, Lithuania , a current Lithuanian government official and a former U.S. intelligence official told ABC News this week. Where affluent Lithuanians once rode show horses and sipped coffee at a café, the CIA installed a concrete structure...
This afternoon MSNBC's Tamron Hall and David Shuster reported on the news that "Unfriend" is the word of the year , as declared by the New Oxford American Dictionary. A few minutes later, after a live shot on the healthcare debate, congressional correspondent Luke Russert corrected the "Unfriend" report saying to Shuster and Hall, "the kids say 'Defriend.' Oxford Dictionary...

By GottaLaff Military commissions allow heresay as well as testimony given after having been tortured. In other words, it's meaningless. A.G. Holder claims that the Department of Justice has evidence that hasn't been revealed yet. In that regard, I've heard that, in the case of low level detainees, evidence has been sprung on the defense, heavily redacted documents that the defense had never seen....
Starting at 3:03pmET, Fox News' "Studio B" broadcast President George W. Bush 's speech from Southern Methodist University live and in its entirety. Fox was the only network to do so. This was considered by some to be the former president's first major public speech since leaving office. At 3:17pmET, MSNBC dipped in for roughly four minutes. After breaking away, David Shuster said, "The...
