Politico Praises Larry O’Donnell’s New MSNBC Show
  • The headline for this puff piece is “MSNBC gets a little less predictable.” You see, liberal flamethrower Larry O’Donnell is going to be different from liberal Maddow and liberal Olbermann. How? Unlike Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, this liberal weighing in on the Obama administration has actually worked in the innards of government…As the BP spill has worsened, both Maddow and Olbermann have grown increasingly critical of President Barack Obama, [...]
    • Media Matters Matt Gertz Blows the Anita Dunn Case Wide Open
  • It’s no secret that Media Matters is a left wing lapdog. They coincidentally seem to echo whatever the DNC is selling on a given day. But some days you just gotta feel sorry for them. Some days there’s just nothing to say, but they have to trot out something anyway. Some days like yesterday. Yesterday Glenn Beck posted video of Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director, quoting Chairman Mao approvingly: [...]

First, they are identifying, and most importantly trying to get all the media to identify, good and bad media coverage, both terms defined [...]

    • Fact-Checking Jonathan Chait on Fox News vs. MSNBC
  • The conclusion to a somewhat disjointed post from last week: It’s fashionable to draw a parallel between MSNBC and Fox News. But MSNBC’s liberal commentary occupies just a couple hours of its evening lineup. It is intended as a supplement to the news, not a substitute for it. The premise of Fox News, Limbaugh etc. is that the mainstream media is totally corrupt and should be completely ignored in favor [...]

(CNN and MSNBC have no comparable flagship evening news show; more on Fox’s polarizing talk shows momentarily.) So how could Fox have both the most balanced [...]

    • Video: Anita Dunn on the War on Fox

    John on November 15, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    This was reported Friday, but the video wasn’t broadcast until today. Skip to around 2:45 for the Fox News comments:

    Dunn makes much of a video broadcast on Fox which conflated two different protests. This was wrong and Sean Hannity apologized for it on air the next day. Speaking of bogus video reports, how about this one from MSNBC this week. I guess Anita missed that.

    Dunn’s example of how MSNBC is different than Fox? Joe Scarborough has a show. Uh…okay. What about their primetime lineup? No mention of that or the fact that the White House had Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann to the White House the same week they launched the war on Fox. Al Hunt should have brought this up, but probably didn’t know about it.

    Finally, Dunn confirms twice that this was a pre-planned strategy and that the President knew about it. No surprise there.

      Anita Dunn is a joke. The Nation is better off now that she’s gone.

      I am not surprised she demonized Fox. After all, her hero is Mao Tse Tung. She should be given a one way ticket to Cuba.
