Ed Schultz and MSNBC Have Not Apologized to Neal Boortz Yet
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 21st at 10:56 AM |
Yesterday, I provided conclusive proof that MSNBC’s Ed Schultz had doctored a Neal Boortz quote to make it look like Neal Boortz was advocating white people in Atlanta murder black people. In reality, Boortz was advocating that victims of carjackings get conceal-carry permits and gun down the thugs trying to car jack them. Ed Schultz willfully and maliciously left out the key part of Boortz’s | Read More »
Ed Schultz Doctored a Neal Boortz Quote to Accuse Boortz of Advocating Murder
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 20th at 02:29 PM |
My WSB colleague and guru, the Talkmaster Neal Boortz, created a bit of controversy this past week over comments he made about shooting thugs in Atlanta. The controversy actually blew up because of Ed Schultz at MSNBC who claimed Boortz was advocating the murder of urban youths in Atlanta. In fact, you can see this screen shot from the Schutlz show highlighting Neal Boortz’s controversial | Read More »
A Brief Word In Defense of Keith Olbermann
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 7th at 09:55 PM |
As you know, Keith Olbermann was suspended from MSNBC for giving political contributions to three Democrats. For the past several years, Olbermann has been giving in-kind contributions to various Democrats by putting them on the air to let them go unchallenged and unhinged. See e.g. Alan Grayson. I was shocked that Olbermann got booted for giving money, considering he has for some time given aid | Read More »
Poor Little Davey Shuster
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | January 19th at 05:21 PM |
Poor Davey Shuster. He has to go to Twitter to pontificate because more people pay attention to his twit feed than watch him on that other network. Today he’s disparaging tea party activists for not buying his spin on Rush Limbaugh: I love the teaparty faithful who defend Rush. They are not the most literate, articulate, or thoughtful bunch… but that’s okay. You mean they | Read More »

Fun With Ratings: How’s that Boycott Against Beck Working Out?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 16th at 06:20 PM |
I noticed Stu Burguiere of the Glenn Beck show point out something fascinating on Facebook: Olbermann 8pm + Maddow 9pm + Olbermann 10pm + Maddow 11pm + 109,000 other people = Beck at 5pm. So . . . um . . . how’s that boycott against Beck going? The one designed to get him off the air? Sure there have been some advertisers who fled. | Read More »
Brian on MSNBC Talking ACORN
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 11:04 PM |
I don’t know why the MSNBC folks keep having Brian on. Every time he gets on there he makes them look foolish. Yet again, he delivers a knock out performance. And special thanks to him for doing it. I’ve got my family visiting and had to bail and pass off to him. I’m glad I did. I would not have been as good. Since you | Read More »
MSNBC Host Helps Obama Do Prep for Tonight
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 22nd at 03:56 PM |
So I’m a conservative activist, not a journalist. The left would have you think otherwise after an enterprising journalist discovered I’d sent Mark Sanford’s communications director saying I was happy to help deal with the “missing governor” story — even suggesting Sanford post at RedState himself. This, of course, was before anyone knew “hiking the Appalachian Trail” was code for “hitting Argentine tail.” Nonetheless, the | Read More »
I’ve Made David Shuster Cry
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 17th at 10:11 PM |
First, you’ll have to remember David Shuster does not like me very much. Back during campaign season, David Shuster tried to ambush Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). He tried to launch a left wing smear against her and got his own data wrong. After you guys all called MSNBC, he was forced to do an on-air apology to Rep. Blackburn. So he doesn’t like RedState or me. | Read More »
Hanoi Jane Republicans
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 10th at 10:29 AM |
As Caleb and others have noted, Chris Matthews has declared it his job to make sure the Obama administration looks good, regardless of the facts. “This country needs a successful presidency,” Matthews said in addition to, ” I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work . . . . Yeah, it is my job.” We have Rachel | Read More »
MSNBC v. Al-Jazeera
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 2nd at 02:07 PM |
Quick observation from the convention. Who has a better spot in the convention center, MSNBC or Al Jazeera? In the opinion of the crowd I’m with, Al Jazeera. MSNBC is pretty much behind the stage, with Al Jazeera next to them. Best seat? Fox News and CNN. Not that any of us should be surprised by that. I’ll have pictures as soon as I can | Read More »
MSDNC Claims It Has No Bias
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 27th at 10:19 PM |
MSDNC has defended its coverage of the Democratic Convention as not partisan. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. MSNBC is as objective as RedState, but less professional. “MSNBC does not have an ideology,” Griffin said. “We hire smart people who are passionate about their love of politics and love of news.” “Do I want them to have squabbles?” Griffin asked. “No. But I understand they’re human.” This from the guy | Read More »
