“Until we get the economy moving again,” Jim Cramer told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, “I think everybody just kind of wishes Obama would go away for a little bit.”
A New York Times poll showed that Americans are more concerned about deficits than stimulus. “Until we get the economy moving again,” Jim Cramer told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, “I think everybody just kind of wishes Obama would go away for a little bit.”
“I wish he’d go away with me,” fantasized MSNBC host Chris Matthews with a faraway look in his eyes.
The liberal media swears up and down that it’s impartial. Completely unbiased.
Of course, that doesn’t exactly square up with the revelation that 130 ABC employees made donations to Obama, but only 4 donated to McCain/Palin.

Of course, that doesn’t exactly square up with the revelation that 130 ABC employees made donations to Obama, but only 4 donated to McCain/Palin.
But it may explain why ABC News was granted the exclusive right to tout Obama’s healthcare fiasco in an all-day White House-a-thon broadcast on June 24.
Ace of Spades notes:
If a Muslim group accuses them of exhibiting anti-Muslim bias, they don’t pooh-pooh that charge. They immediately have meetings with the group, put a panel on the subject on Nightline, elevate a Muslim journalist to some sort of bias-ombudsman position, etc.
They take such charges of bias seriously, in other words, so long as the charges come from groups associated with the left.
It’s only when Republicans charge bias they dismiss the complaints and refuse to make any attempts at amelioration at all.
ABC. It used to stand for “American Broadcasting Company,” but now it stands for “All Barack Channel.”

What are we to think when unhinged leftist Bill Maher turns on President Obama?
What are we to think when unhinged leftist Bill Maher turns on President Obama?
From the first line of his Friday night rant (“President Obama should just join the cast of “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!” It’s not that farfetched; he’s been on everything else.”) to the last (“I’m glad that Obama is president, but the ‘Audacity of Hope’ part is over. Right now, I’m hoping for a little more audacity.”), Maher rips The One a new one.
Of course, Maher’s real complaint is that Obama hasn’t been socialist enough fast enough. But still, he manages to compare him unfavorably to both President Bush and Lindsay Lohan.
This may be the first and only time we ever recommend watching Maher. So enjoy it.

Sparks flew when CNBC’s Mark Haines tried to keep Barney Frank from misrepresenting what he had said. Poor ol’ Barney gets all hot and bothered, says, “This interview is over,” and walks off right in the middle of the interview.
The best part? Haines’ reaction: “Fine. Goodbye, sir.”
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Barack Obama is on TV more than Jay Leno. And he’s funnier than…well…he’s really not all that funny.
Here’s how Wilshire & Washington describes it:
“The highlight of Stephen Colbert’s first night of shows from Iraq was the surprise taped appearance of President Obama, who ordered Commanding General Ray Odierno to cut the faux news host’s hair.”
“Last week, Obama appeared in a taped segment on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” in which the president deadpanned that the newly installed host would not qualify for a bailout if he failed.”
How can all these TV appearances be explained?
Could it be mere coincidence that the brother of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is Ari Emanuel, the most powerful agent in Hollywood? He was the inspiration for the profane Ari Gold character on HBO’s Entourage. This guy’s Rolodex is immense and he has the power to place any client on any TV show or film merely by making a phone call.
Coming up next season: On NBC, President Obama plays Urkel’s long lost brother on a remake of Family Matters. On ABC, President Obama takes on the role made famous by Mr. T on a remake of the A-Team. It will be called “The USA-Team.” On CBS, President Obama will take over the foundering Evening News from no-longer perky Katie Couric. And on Fox, President Obama will become the fifth judge on American Idol. The format will change so that his vote is the only one that counts.

It would seem there’s good reason that President Obama is referred to as “The One”. In another example of media pundits bravely and objectively speaking truth to power, MSNBC’s hard-hitting analysis of Obama’s Cairo speech began with Hardball’s Chris Matthews:
“I think the President’s speech yesterday was the reason we Americans elected him. It was grand. It was positive. Hopeful…But what I liked about the President’s speech in Cairo was that it showed a complete humility…”
Matthews then turned to Newsweek editor Evan Thomas and blurted out one of his grammatically-tortured questions, “Reagan and World War II and the sense of us as the good guys in the world, how are we doing?”
“…Reagan was all about America and you talked about it,” Newsweek Editor Even Thomas said. “Obama is ‘We are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial.’ I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above the world, he’s sort of God.”
Chris Matthews was quick to agree that he, too, was a true believer.
Hey, wait a minute. Whatever happened to the “separation of church and state” that liberals are always carrying on about? Oh. Guess it all depends on the church.

Joy Behar, the frequently factually-challenged co-host of The View, will be taking over the 9 p.m. time slot on HLN that’s currently home to a repeat of the Lou Dobbs Show.
Hard to believe, but HLN is so desperate for viewers that it’s stealing a page from MSNBC’s playbook by giving an opinionated, but idiotic liberal their own primetime program. This strategy would make more sense if MSNBC were a ratings success, but it’s shedding viewers faster than a snake can shed its skin (No, that was not a Keith Olbermann reference, although we understand why you may have interpreted it that way).
According to the New York Times, “HLN, the opinionated sister channel of CNN, hopes to raise its prime time ratings with the addition of Ms. Behar, who is well known for her comedic and sometimes controversial sensibility.”
The tentatively and cleverly titled “Joy Behar Show” will probably begin in September. She promised it would be “topical and fun.
Fun? Guaranteed it will be a lot more fun if this doofus diva has conservative guests like Ann Coulter or Bill O’Rielly, but as these embedded clips demonstrate, Behar quickly gets in over her head and resorts to name-calling when she’s challenged.
Come to think of it, if she’d just have Ann Coulter on every night, it could be a lot of fun.

Campbell Brown came back to CNN on Monday following maternity leave. She looked the same, but her show looked different. They retooled it while she was gone. And they dropped “No Bias, No Bull” from the title.
We assume that by dropping “No Bias, No Bull” CNN is merely acknowledging the huge role bias and bull have always played in the program.
We’d have an alternate title: Campbell Brown: Mo’ Bias, Mo’ Bull.

Just a joke, Contessa. Don’t get your nose out of joint, because then you won’t be able to snort coke with it. Oh, these jokes are just hilarious, aren’t they? Certainly nothing for you and Sarah Palin to get upset about.
Reference: MSNBC’s whorish Contessa Brewer can’t understand why Sarah Palin took offense to being called slutty
Excuse us. We’ve been laughing so hard that we need to stop to catch our breath. (PAUSE) That one was a real rib tickler. Sarah Palin should just lighten up and learn to take a joke like our girl Contessa.
Reference: MSNBC’s whorish Contessa Brewer can’t understand why Sarah Palin took offense to being called slutty
We hear she loves to show the officers her privates, if you know what we mean. Pretty funny stuff, huh, Contessa? You were absolutely right. It’s fun to say hurtful stuff as long as it’s funny hurtful stuff. What’s wrong with that Sarah Palin?
Reference: MSNBC’s whorish Contessa Brewer can’t understand why Sarah Palin took offense to being called slutty
Ahhh, this comedy stuff is great. You can say the worst things imaginable about anyone and laugh it off because it’s just comedy.

David Letterman’s “Top Ten Highlights of Sarah Palin’s Trip to New York” called Gov. Palin slutty and joked that her daughter got knocked up by A-Rod in the 7th inning of a baseball game. But that’s just fine with MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer. While interviewing conservative host John Ziegler this morning, she said it’s really no big deal, it’s just comedy, and in fact she herself has been called a slut before and she said “I’m fine, I’m still here.”
We’re sure then, that Contessa won’t mind us calling her whorish, since she’s taking it for the team and getting paid for it.
Top Ten Highlights Of Sarah Palin’s Trip To New York
10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska
9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners entering the U.N.
8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray
7. Keyed Tina Fey’s car
6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack
5. Made coat out of New York City rat pelts
4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn’t tell the difference.
3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson’s always talking about
2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale’s to update her “slutty flight attendant” look
1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman
Now don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying Jon Stewart made fun of Obama. No, that’s still taboo. But at least he took a step in the right direction by making fun of people who worship The One. NBC’s Brian Williams, to be specific.
It does seem to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black, though.

Appearing on CNN, former Congressman Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican, attacked Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor for saying wise Latinas make better decisions than white men.
Horrified by Sotomayor’s membership in an “immigrants’ rights group” called La Raza (Translation: “The Race”), Tancredo called it “a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses.”
Rick Sanchez, the CNN host who’s never met a left wing extremist he doesn’t love, was horrified by Tancredo’s assertion.
We were horrified when we realized we were watching CNN.
ABC News’ Jake Tapper actually confronted the unconfrontable truth of Barack Obama’s Muslim roots Tueday on his ABC blog.
His willingness to deviate from the media’s blind allegiance to Barack Obama is truly startling. If Tapper keeps this up he’s likely to become ABC’s new Siberian correspondent.
The Emergence of President Obama’s Muslim roots
The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or gen4ral election campaign.
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to – or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world – you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father – obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”
Tapper concluded:
In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, President Obama reference how many “Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them.”
Well, that clears it all up. He’s one of them. Because he certainly hasn’t acted like he’s one of us.

NBC News anchor Brian Williams actually bowed to President Obama on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the President was facing in the wrong direction, making it anatomically impossible for Williams to kiss his butt before leaving the White House.
“This,” the President thought to himself, “must be what ol’ King Abdul Aziz felt like when I bowed to him.”
Henry Waxman, a Democrat from California, admitted last week that he knew almost nothing about his preposterously expensive cap-and-trade bill. In this video, he admits that he knows almost nothing about illegal drugs. Or legal drugs. Or much of anything else.
But the guy does know how to get re-elected. And isn’t that the most important thing to know in Washington, DC?
Day in and day out, ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper seems to be the only guy asking the tough questions and pointing out the Obama administration’s incredible hypocrisy.

Air America breathlessly announced yet another corporate restructuring this week.
It’s starting its own network sales division, which will pitch all the company’s radio, video and online content directly to ad agencies instead of depending on third party rep Westwood One for ad sales.
“Agencies are sophisticated in their planning and their creative approach in making strategies for their clients, which will hopefully become our clients,” said Air America Media CEO Bennett Zier. “Because Air America is a particular type of company, and a left of center company, there are certain companies that want to advertise with us, and we want to be able to facilitate that and work with them more directly.”
“Air America is turning into a multimedia company,” Zier said. “And we are looking to attract listeners, viewers and readers with the radio and airamerica.com.”
The good news is that Air America’s management has finally discovered capitalism. The bad news is that it probably won’t trickle down to the air talent.
And we use the term “talent” very loosely.

It’s too bad no one watches MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow anymore. She just plain went off on President Barack Obama Thursday night. If it weren’t so painful watching Maddow’s tortured delivery, we would say it was a joy to watch.
Believe it or not, she actually finds President Bush’s terrorist detention policy preferable to President Obama’s. In fact, she’s absolutely appalled by Obama’s plan.
“How can a president speak with the kind of poetry that President Obama does about the rule of law and call for the power to indefinitely preventatively imprison people because they might commit crimes in the future? How can those two things co-exist in the same man? Even in the same speech?
She concluded:
“…You could get arrested today and locked up without a trial, without being convicted, without being sentenced for, say, ten years, until the threat of your future criminal behavior passes. Prolonged detention he’s calling it. This was a beautiful speech from President Obama today. Patriotic, moving, even poetic language about the rule of law and the Constitution. And one of the most radical proposals for defying the Constitution that we have ever heard made to the American people.”
Relax, Rachel. This plan is much more likely to be used against Janet Napolitano’s right wing extremists than any actual terrorists. Which means readers of IHateTheMedia.com have a lot more to worry about than Abu Hussein Abu bin-Abu al-Abu does.
“Of the many responsibilities granted to a president by our Constitution, few are more serious or more consequential than selecting a Supreme Court justice. The members of our highest court are granted life tenure, often serving long after the presidents who appointed them. And they are charged with the vital task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries ago to some of the most difficult questions of our time.”
HotAir.com hypothesizes that he was actually referring to the bible instead of the Constitution. Maybe so, because if Bush had said this, the press would have crucified him.
