I can’t imagine anyone considering Barnicle a ‘journalist’.

He’s a political hack and a dishonest one at that.

Right up there with the other plagiarizer, Doris Kearns Goodwin.

“They [the GOP] are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.” – Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)

Its an interesting reference to the GOP as Aryans, because Rhode Island where Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehose represents, was one of the last Northern states to abolish slavery and DID NOT abolish slavery until 1863.

Why concern ourselves about the goings on at MSNBC, it's a terminal patient that will have its plug pulled by the new owners in the not too distant future. What we are viewing is the death prattle of the left.

Since the media ignored this quote, Whitehouse was never pushed to apologize for this incredibly stupid statement.

They didn't ignore it. They totally agree with it so they have no reason to push Whitehouse for an apology.

Over and above and beyond any of this nonsense, and focusing on these
political “personalities”, whether it’s this Whitehouse, or Alan Grayson, or faux Journalist Mike Barnicle, and how wrong-headed and dishonest they are, let’s look at what’s REALLY going on here: once again, the issue is NOT healthcare, the healthcare the Democrats are trying so nobly to “give” the American people, the wonderful Health Future we’d all have were it not “derailed” by evil Republicans. Let’s understand that there IS no Healthcare bill as such, that the bill was a waterlogged 2000 page Hail Mary pass thrown into the void of what now looks like political oblivion, and NEVER intended to pass AT ALL! It was a whack-a-mole device that almost no one read, yet kept getting “pushed and promoted” as some kind of abstraction that somehow was understood to be all things good and true.
It was , and IS, just that-—an abstraction. Like the current and much underdiscussed Executive Order about INTERPOL, it grants powers that, as Andy McCarthy put it,
“are limited only by your imagination”. It doesn’t go far enough to say “The Democrats and their bill are NOT about Healthcare, they’re about control”, even while that is true.
The Dem’s healthcare bill is merely a device to create polarized pseudo-debate with all the extremism predictably coming from the Useful Idiots on one side of it:currently this ragtag band includes the above-named THree Stooges Whitehouse,Grayson, and Barnicle—you can assume that their “opinions” are echoed throughout MSNBC and CNN. Once again, let me re-state the obvious-—that the “Healthcare Bill” is just another “device” that allows the “Left” to continue demonizing the “Right”. Nothing more. It will only amount to “more” if it’s allowed to pass, which it won’t.

Biggest Misreported/Unreported Stories of 2009

6. Van Jones Resignation

Appointed the Green Jobs Czar by Obama, Van Jones came under attack (mostly by Glen Beck) for being an advocate for Marxism and signing a petition that suggested the US government was involved in the 9-11 terrorist’s attacks. After several weeks and numerous controversial tapes, Van Jones resigned at midnight on a Saturday. The mainstream media barely touched the story, which was only a blip on some of the Sunday news shows after his resignation.

5. ACORN Tapes

James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, investigative journalists, posed as a pimp and a prostitute to see how ACORN will react. Even when explaining the prostitution will involve underage girls, ACORN staffers across the country don’t raise an eyebrow. Instead ACORN workers offered advice on what they can and can not say in order to obtain loans and skirt tax laws. Even as Congress was outraged and removed all funding for ACORN, it was not even on the mainstream media radar. The day after the vote in Congress, Charlie Gibson when asked about the tapes stated he hadn't heard about them. The mainstream media only starts to report on the story months later when ACORN is 'cleared' of engaging in illegal activity by a Congressional report headed by the ultra-liberal Congressman John Conyers.

4. Walpin Firing

After uncovering misuse of funds by former NBA star and Obama friend Kevin Johnson, AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin was fired by the White House before his final report could be made. The inspector general is a position that is supposed to be immune from political influence. A 2008 law that was co-sponsored by then Senator Obama prohibits such firing of an IG without giving a 30 day notice to Congress, but Walpin was fired on the spot. Obama’s explanation for violating his own law is that Walpin was ‘confused’ and ‘disorientated’ and questioned ‘his capacity to serve’. However the law is clear that such loss of confidence is insufficient justification for such firing, and in interviews Walpin clearly demonstrated the charges were baseless.

3. Climategate

Leaked emails from Climatic Research Unit revealed an apparent conspiracy to keep skeptics from getting published, keeping data and computer code secret, and manipulating the data to suit the global warming agenda. These embarrassing emails were released just weeks prior to the huge summit in Copenhagen in which a major international agreement on carbon caps was supposed to occur. Despite climate change being a major news topic, mainstream media in the US ignored the climategate story. Copenhagen ended up being a huge disappointment with only some non-binding caps on carbon emissions.

2. Obama’s Broken Promises Health Care.

Usually when a president breaks campaign promises, it is front-page newsworthy such as the read my lips promise made by G.H.W. Bush. But Obama has broken numerous campaign promises concerning health care and it is goes unreported by the lapdog media. Obama made campaign promises to call for open debates televised on C-Span, ending the influence of Big Pharma, having everyone at the table, rejecting the need for mandates, not raising taxes on anyone earning less than $250K (‘not one dime’), wanting a public option, and allowing the reimportation of prescription drugs.

Instead we have a bill which was debated behind closed doors with no republicans input. We have special interests like Big Pharma protected from cuts. We have individual mandates complete with fines and penalties. We have numerous fees and taxes everywhere, including silly things like a tanning tax affecting those at all income levels. The Senate bill contains no public option. Reimportation of drugs is not allowed. And millions of Americans will still not be covered. And somehow Obama can look straight in the camera and proclaim he got 95% of what he wanted in health care reform. This must be the same math he used in figuring he earned a B+ in his first year.

1. Tea-party Protests

First there was the town hall meeting where congressmen across the country received a much bigger earful than expected as the masses became upset over the runaway expansion of federal deficits and increasing reach of the federal government. Several congressmen even tried to bus in supporters in an unsuccessful attempt to shut down the voice of the people. Soon town hall meeting became a thing of the past and Congressmen bunkered up and became largely inaccessible to the general public. Ordinary citizens took the streets and the Tea Party movement was born. Millions of people across the country protested as the media did their best to belittle the movement by under estimating crowd sizes and highlighting only the most extreme aspect of the movement. The media even stooped to using derogatory language calling them tea-baggers and suggesting the movement was largely motivated by racism.

Holdover from last year....Obama's Birth Cerificate. The media still is covering for Obama here. The media still acts ignorant of the difference between a Certification and the actual Certificate. Did grandma record a birth certificate in Hawaii to cover for a foreign birth? We may never know until Obama is out of office.

It’s become axiomatic that nearly everything said on MSNBC is idiotic and irrelevant; there’s more substantive and honest rhetoric on Cartoon Central. Once it’s been conclusively determined that a person is mentally impaired, what is gained by continuing to analyze and critique their mindless rants?

It would seem that the President and the Congress are determined to help.

Being a Birther I cannot understand why everyone isnt.

Doesnt the Constitution say a President must be a born American? Those who wrote that must have been birthers.
Why are so many against having a President willing to prove it.

Mike Barnicle should be in forced retirement reviewing the wreckage of his journalistic career instead of working for a cable News service.

Further proof that liberalism is just a religion. There is no rational discussion anymore, all they can do is react. It’s very sad they don’t even realize this.
