New York—A new Gallup poll has found that Contessa Brewer does appear “slutty.” The poll was taken June 9 – 10, 2009, with 1,500 likely MSNBC viewers. Spurring the poll was the comments by David Lettermen over Sarah Palin, and the John Ziegler interview with Contessa Brewer—who was fit to be tied over Ziegler’s comments. When asked, does Contessa Brewer appear to be “slutty?” An overwhelming amount—80% believed her to be “slutty,” 10% said that she isn’t “slutty,” and 10% were undecided—saying they would need to see more interviews before reaching a conclusion.

MSNBC's Contessa Brewer invited documentarian John Ziegler on her program Wednesday, and got into quite a battle with him over why Sarah Palin should have been at all insulted by David Letterman saying she dresses like a "slutty flight attendant" and her daughter was recently "knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez" during a Yankee game. Brewer actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Letterman making such comments. Even better, as the scrum continued, and Ziegler claimed Palin had more class than most people on MSNBC, Brewer got insulted, and called to her producer, "Cut the mike, please" (video embedded below the...

Talk about standing by your man! When a foreign policy expert explained the timing of today’s Iranian missile launch in terms of a Persian perception of Pres. Obama’s weakness, MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer lept to PBO’s defense, throwing in an invidious comparison with Pres. Bush for good measure. Nile Gardiner, Director of the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, was Contessa’s guest during the 11 AM hour today. When Brewer asked “why now?” about the Iranian launch, Gardiner responded: “This is an administration that has gone to great lengths here to try and appease opinion in Tehran, extending the hand...

"MSNBC News Live" anchor Contessa Brewer on Tuesday speculated as to whether supposed obstructionism by congressional Republicans may end up hampering the response to the swine flu outbreak.

Everything you thought you knew about MSNBC political slant - throw it out the window, because one MSNBC host says you're probably wrong. MSNBC's Contessa Brewer, appearing on "The Mark Reardon Show" on St. Louis KMOX 1120 AM radio on April 13. Brewer defended her network against the perception that it is a liberal cable news channel. "No, but we're not liberal," Brewer said. "No, we're not liberal. We're not liberal. That's crazy - that's crazy talk." ...more (w/audio)...

It's not often during midday cable news broadcasting you get to see raw emotion from one or two of the hosts. However, when President Barack Obama gets snubbed, there are exceptions to the rule. On MSNBC on April 10, co-hosts Contessa Brewer and Carlos Watson put their disapproval on display for viewers to see while reporting a decision by Arizona State University not to award Obama an honorary degree for speaking at the school's commencement next month. "In other news, President Obama will be giving the commencement address at Arizona State University on May 13th. But the president will not...

This is just too perfect. Earlier today, noting that none of the network morning shows explicitly identified Rod Blagojevich as a Democrat, I wondered out loud how a Republican would be treated in like circumstances. It's taken less than three hours to get our answer. Let's preface this by saying that Norm Coleman is not, repeat not, the target of an investigation. To mention him anywhere within a million miles of Blago is unfair. I'm citing the MSNBC coverage just for purposes of illustrating the double standard. At about 11:20 AM ET, here's how Contessa Brewer threw it to Norah...

Contessa Brewer has suggested that Pres. Bush should be ashamed by his administration's decision to exempt the chemical perchlorate from federal regulation. Speaking with a Republican guest this afternoon, the MNSBC host analogized the decision to Bill Clinton's scandalous last-minute pardons. Did Brewer ever read the official EPA explanation of its ruling, or had she only looked at articles like this one from an environmental activist group, "subtly" featuring a huge photo of a baby drinking from its bottle?

It’s one thing for the media to have a bias for Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, but it’s another thing to be overt about it as MSNBC “Politics of Money” co-host Contessa Brewer was Oct. 20. Brewer slammed conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh in an interview with Republican strategist and MSNBC regular Ron Christie. Limbaugh has suggested former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s endorsement of Obama was based on race. “He [Powell, on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Oct. 19] spent half an hour explaining why he was making that decision and was very clear he wasn’t making...

A couple days ago, speculating that Contessa Brewer might be a closet conservative, I expressed the hope that I wasn't making trouble for her at MSNBC. Maybe I did. For the anchor now has gone out of her way to express PC sentiments that almost make you wonder whether she wasn't trying to prove her liberal bona fides to the MSNBC powers that be. You'd think Jesse Jackson would be the last person who'd normally need to be persuaded to take offense at any comment that could possibly be considered to have racial overtones. Usually, it's a case of duck...

I certainly wouldn't want to create problems for the charming and intelligent Contessa Brewer [file photo]. But again today the MSNBC anchor said something that made me wonder whether she might be a closeted conservative in the belly of the liberal beast. Janet Huckabee, responding to Brewer's question on the possibility that her husband would withdraw from the presidential race, drew a contrast between the Romney and Huckabee campaigns.

MSNBC host Contessa Brewer [file photo] has taken some deserved heat here, as when NewsBuster Scott Whitlock caught her here, seemingly rooting for the entire Democratic presidential field.But for at least one brief shining moment this afternoon, Brewer gave the pro-Second Amendment side of the VA Tech argument fair treatment. The fair Contessa's guests were University of Missouri law prof Kris Kobach, a former senior aide to former AG John Ashcroft, and Dennis Henigan of the Brady gun-control group. Brewer began by expressing skepticism as to how additional gun control laws could have helped: "Dennis, let me put you on...

Tucker just read a news flash, announcing that they will no longer simulcast Imus at all, anymore.

How does a crusty, mean-spirited, Kerry-supporting fossil like Don Imus manage to stay on the air? Does he have the best lawyers, who write iron-clad contracts? A world-class superagent? Compromising photos of corporate execs? All of the above? Or is it simply the age-old art of coasting on one's earlier success, where a shrinking energy level meets increasing compensation?
