MSNBC host Rachel Maddow created headlines this week when she alleged that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) had plagiarized a recent speech from Wikipedia, but it turns out the liberal cable news host has been accused of plagiarism herself. In 2010 on his blog “Open Salon,” Michael Rodgers of North Port, Fla., wrote a blog post titled “Rachel Maddow Plagiarized My Blog!” “Don’t get me wrong, I love Rachel Maddow,” Rodgers wrote. “Truth be told, I’m a huge fan. So, if she wanted something from my blog, all she had to do was ask. I would have given willingly because that’s...

Megyn Kelly blew out Rachel Maddow in the key demo on Tuesday after losing to her the night before. "I have never seen it in all my years of cable," says Phil Griffin. Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, says there's something fishy about Tuesday's ratings for the Fox News Channel, which were up significantly from a day earlier when Fox News debuted its new schedule. And he wants an investigation. "Monday we had a really good day in the key demographic. On the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours,"...

If you see the Independence Institute's Jon Caldara smiling today, here's one likely reason: He provided the de facto name for the lead segment on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show last night. Sitting to the side of a continental-U.S. map plastered with the Caldara-uttered phrase "Wave of Fear," Maddow explored the recall election defeats of John Morse and Angela Giron over their support of gun-control legislation. Along the way, she featured a clip of Caldara at the lectern and politically incorrect graphics courtesy of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. See it all below. Following an introduction noting that her program is...

During a May appearance on Rachel Maddow Lean Forward Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said gun rights are not "God-given" and any claim that the Founding Fathers wanted U.S. citizens armed so they could repel a tyranny "is insane." Murphy said, "The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right. It has always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has." This is disturbing language from a sitting Senator, especially when you consider that the First Amendment opens with the phrase "Congress shall make no law" and the Second Amendment states that the right to keep and...

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow is going full throttle as she mocks WND Editor Joseph Farah and others who question the eligibility of Barack Obama to be president of the United States. Farah is a guest speaker this weekend at the FreedomFest event taking place in Las Vegas, and Maddow, an outspoken lesbian who champions left-leaning political causes, took to the air to make fun of Farah and others scheduled to speak. “You can add in a keynote speech by the guy so handsome he makes you remember there’s an ‘o’ in the word mustachioed: Joseph Farah from WorldNetDaily, your home...

A surge of breaking news -- the Boston Marathon bombing, Oklahoma tornadoes, the Jodi Arias trial -- brings a new (distant) runner-up to Fox News Channel, but the cable networks end the first half of 2013 with a lackluster June.

Vice President Joe Biden will not be throwing his annual beach party for journalists this summer, POLITICO has learned. Since 2010, Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden have invited top journalists to their home at the Naval Observatory for a beach bash that has included Super Soaker fights, face painting, and a moon bounce.

The Vice President's...

Fox News Channel maintains a handsome lead in primetime and total day, while primetime runner-up CNN continues a healthy climb from the lows of 2012. Averaging 539,000 viewers in primetime and 175,000 viewers in the adults 25-54 demographic, MSNBC suffered double-digit drops from last May -- down a respective 20 and 19 percent.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow warned her very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very liberal audience that the Virginia Republican Party just picked a slate of “very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very conservative” candidates to run for office this fall. …… And those Republican loyalists who showed up for the convention picked candidates for this state-wide election who are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very conservative. A very conservative Tea Party style slate of candidates. … But suffice it to say, I didn’t use enough “verys” in describing them. …

No evidence Underwear Bomber 'kept singing' after being Mirandized MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Saturday that both the Underwear Bomber or Times Square Bomber “kept singing” after they were read their Miranda rights. MADDOW: It is interesting. You look at the way that civilian terrorism prosecutions have gone down in this country, and you look at the Underwear Bomber, you look at the Times Square bomber, and there may have been controversy over when they were administered their Miranda rights and conservatives not wanting them to have been administered their Miranda rights. But there’s never been any indication whatsoever that...

David Letterman had Rachel Maddow on the Late Show last night and he came out swinging against the “nonsense” he sees on the part of those who are still opposing gay marriage. He found a willing partner in Maddow, who agreed with his impassioned assessment and filled him in on the latest news in the same-sex marriage fight. “I am just sick and tired, and I think it has crossed the line into nonsense — this ongoing, politically nuanced, religiously nuanced discussion of gay marriage and gay rights,” Letterman began. “It is absolute stupidity. Humans have the right to do...

I say "political integrity expert," you say "Eliot Spitzer." I say "you're kidding me, right?" Rachel Maddow actually got off to a good start this evening in her segment on political sleaziness, ripping politicians both Dem and Republican for a variety of venal sins. But of all the people to bring on as your expert to discuss how to raise the moral bar . . . Client 9? Surely you make mirth, Ms. Maddow? View the video here

Bill Maher made a comment Friday that his benefactor and hero Barack Obama should sit up and take notice of.

Bill Maher made a comment Friday that his benefactor and hero Barack Obama should sit up and take notice of. Speaking about the taxes the rich pay particularly in California, the host of HBO’s Real Time said, “Liberals – you could actually lose me” (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary): The panel discussion began with a conversation about the various budget proposals currently on the table in Washington. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow predictably slammed Congressman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wisc.) plan. “The Ryan budget is a document that says the big problems in America right now are that rich people do not...

A poster on Twitter, upon seeing what he thought were very similar posts referencing MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show, did some searching and found out that Maddow has been using phony twitter accounts to boost her "mentions" on the popular website. As can be seen by screenshots collected by a tweeter named @LeftyBollocks, Maddow has massive amount of accounts posting the exact same claim that "Confession: I yell at my TV while watching Rachel #Maddow talk about filibuster reform in the same way most people do during football." With so many supposedly unique accounts mentioning her name, the term #Maddow...

"Confession: I yell at my TV while watching Rachel #Maddow talk about filibuster reform in the same way most people do during football." Confession: I yell at my monitor while watching multiple Twitter accounts plug Rachel #Maddow with identical words in the same way most people do during football.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow called Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia “a troll” on tonight’s edition of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” Maddow was referencing Justice Scalia’s declaration that the Voting Rights Act was evidence of the “perpetuation of racial entitlement,” a remark he made during a Wednesday’s hearing, at which Maddow was present. …

January 31, 2013 Women against Bob Menendez? How about a Democratic woman? Michelle Malkin Conservatives are always told they don't do enough to reach across the aisle. We're divisive, obstructionist and hostile to bipartisanship. So in the spirit of unity and comity, I'm announcing the formation of a new social justice group: Ladies Against Senator Sleaze-Bob. Now all I need are some principled Democratic ladies and liberal media lionesses to step up to the plate with me to protest the vulgar, sexist behavior of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. Surely, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Cher, Sandra Fluke, Eva Longoria and...
