Free Republic

Shuster is a little sensitive about his thinning hair. Although daytime cameramen at MSNBC have been instructed never to shoot the anchor from behind, the prime-time crew never got the memo. “David went crazy when he filled in for Keith Olbermann last week and was shot from behind, exposing his bald spot,” said a source close to production. “He went crazy and is so upset about it, he’s thinking about getting a rug.” MSNBC had no comment.

MSNBC's David Shuster, who was suspended in 2008 for proclaiming that Chelsea Clinton was being "pimped out" by her then-candidate mother, on Monday challenged a representative of Free Republic as to what he would do to try and "discourage people" from using "hateful, vile language" on the website. Guest Kristinn Taylor, a spokesman for the Washington D.C. chapter of Free Republic, appeared on the show to battle with the MSNBC Live host over offensive comments that were posted on the site about 11-year old Malia Obama. Taylor combatively contradicted an assertion by Shuster that some racist remarks featured under a...

<p>Freepers, get the word out loud and wide. The Vancouver Sun "journalist" Chris Parry that defamed Jim Robinson and FreeRepublic is none other than radical left blogger "Hollywoodoz" at the Daily Kos. In addition to writting for the Vancouver Sun, Chris is a frustrated and failed internet entrepreneur, having launched many websites and blogs, all of which have virtually no traffic, following, or success. Chris also writes movie reviews, though these are pretty lame.</p>

As Mark Finkelstein reported on Newsbusters on the 7th, MSNBC’s David Shuster made a rather interesting comment about Chelsea Clinton as he was hosting “Tucker” that evening. Shuster asked if Hillary Clinton’s use of her daughter on the campaign trail seemed “like Chelsea’s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?” Well, NBC has now announced that they’ve suspended Shuster over the comment…. so much for free political speech. In a press release, NBC says the following: On Thursday’s “Tucker” on MSNBC, David Shuster, who was serving as guest-host of the program, made a comment about Chelsea...

MSNBC’s David Shuster and Tamron Hall labeled the circulation of a photo of President Obama...a “right wing smear,” and singled out Fox News and Drudge as culprits. They brought on a Media Matters spokesman, who accused these sites of being motivated by a “racist stereotype of an oversexed black man being a predator.” They let this accusation go unanswered (audio clip from the promos and the segment available here). Shuster and Hall promoted the segment on the Obama picture from the start of the 4 pm Eastern hour of MSNBC’s live coverage. A graphic on-screen at the top of the...

MSNBC’s journalistic standards are, shall we say, somewhat flexible. Even by its weak standards, however, David Shuster today issued a report that was breathtaking for its mendacity. Simply put, Shuster lied--brazenly, knowingly, on the air. The subject of Shuster’s piece was the left’s all-purpose villain Joe Lieberman. He charged that Lieberman is a “hypocrite” because, in Shuster’s words, he’s “been praising President Obama and his administration these days even as Lieberman fights most of the most crucial Obama policies.” And what, pray tell, is Shuster’s evidence? He says of Lieberman: “You’ve publicly declared it’s a mistake to engage in dialogue...

MSNBC anchor David Shuster continued his outspoken disdain for anyone that supports traditional marriage. Directly after Donald Trump announced Miss California Carrie Prejean could keep her title on May 12, Shuster asked "Can I vomit?" In a typical rant, Shuster repeated his criticism of Prejean: "Can I vomit right now? I mean, literally. Can I vomit?" Shuster said. "Doesn't this represent everything that is wrong with the superficial nature of these pageants? I mean, she talked about how women can make a difference in the world. She lied. She avoided taking personal responsibility. She blamed others whether it's Perez Hilton...

For some reason I had it on MSNBC during the news conference of Miss Ca. David Shuster absolutely went off on everyone in the pageant who decided her fate, saying it made him want to 'puke.' He was actually somewhat implying his co-anchor Tamron Hall should jump off of a cliff because she was defending Miss CA to some extent. He said a person who has breast implants and plastic surgery cannot be taken seriously--and that its so omg!superficial, those beauty pageants. The man needs to be taken off the air. He cannot be considered a serious daytime journalist and...

Watch the second match-up between John Ziegler and MSNBC David Shuster. Ziegler wrote on his site that the character assasination of Palin was one of the greatest public injustices of our time. Shuster, out of the blue, brings up segregation and suggests that Ziegler thinks it wasn't that bad. UnFREAKINGbelievable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKdz3jzj_lc

Here is Round 2 of MSNBC pro-Obama hack David Shuster going up against Documentary-filmmaker John Ziegler over the media's treatment of Gov. Sarah Palin. Ziegler and Shuster went at it two days previously in Round 1, and got together again yesterday for Round 2. Ziegler really gets under Shuster's skin! John Ziegler has made a documentary called "Media Malpractice," which reportedly documents the bias of the mainstream media in favor of Barack Obama and against Gov. Sarah Palin. Ziegler manages to take a shot at Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann at the very end of the interview. . . ....

Documentary filmmaker John Ziegler appeared on MSNBC today to talk with anchor David Shuster about Ziegler's documentary "Media Malpractice," and particularly to talk about the media's treatment of Gov. Sarah Palin. Ziegler let Shuster and MSNBC have it with both barrels . . . .(watch video)

LOL! Ziegler: "I feel like this is OJ Simpson interviewing the cops!"

NEW YORK, (AP) -- MSNBC was the victim of a hoax when it reported that an adviser to John McCain had identified himself as the source of an embarrassing story about former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the network said Wednesday. David Shuster, an anchor for the cable news network, said on air Monday that Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, had come forth and identified himself as the source of a Fox News Channel story saying Palin had mistakenly believed Africa was a country instead of a continent. Eisenstadt identifies himself on a blog as a senior fellow at...

Less than 12 hours after McCain picks AK Gov. Sarah Palin as his VP David Shuster hosted a 1 Hour hit piece on the governor highlighting her Alleged scandal in Alaska http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032553/vp/26463356#26463356

ANIMOSITY among MSNBC anchors has reached a mile-high peak at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, with on-air squabbling between such big egos as Joe Scarborough, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and David Shuster. Scarborough, who served in Congress as a Republican representative from Florida, seems to be particularly touchy being the only host who isn't openly pro-Democratic. Yesterday, after Shuster referred to "your party, the Republican Party," Scarborough went off, sparking a seven-minute exchange. "I will let you know that 'my party,' my party loathes me much more than your party, the Democratic Party, loathes me," Scarborough seethed. "What about...

Debate threat. Last week, MSNBC suspended David Shuster for saying, “Doesn’t it seem as if Chelsea [Clinton] is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?” A search through MSNBC’s archives quickly uncovered a glaring double standard: Last September, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann accused President Bush of “pimping General David Petraeus.” It’s the same analogy — these days, the word “pimping” is slang, meaning to use in an unseemly way. Olbermann wasn’t reprimanded, but Shuster was suspended for two weeks and forced to apologize. Why? The most logical answer is that Shuster’s words jeopardized a lucrative opportunity...

After some conversations with folks at the Clinton campaign, I can offer some clarity -- maybe -- on what they're asking NBC/MSNBC to do. And despite Clinton's letter, saying David Martin Shuster's apology and suspension was not sufficient, Clinton's goal is not for NBC to fire Shuster, he and his fans will be happy to hear. Until Thursday, the Clinton campaign had no issues with Shuster, I'm told. The campaign says it has more to do with what it sees as a sexist, locker room, on-air atmosphere at MSNBC. Clinton supporters ask: what other network has had, within the space...

Politisite has obtained the email exchange between the Clinton camp and MSNBC’s David Shuster who now is on leave due to his remarks about Chelsea Clinton being, “pimped out by the Clinton Camp” because of her calls to super delegates and others. Here are the emails Philippe Reines Press Secretary Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton Nice to hear from you, philippe. It is a fact that chelsea has made calls to superdelegates, as your campaign colleagues have acknowledged. It is also a fact that the campaign has reacted quite harshly to any media who have sought to interview chelsea. That was...

Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened yesterday to pull out of an upcoming debate hosted by MSNBC after one of its correspondents said on air that daughter Chelsea was being "pimped out" by the campaign to win votes. Correspondent David Shuster made the remark Thursday night as he and others were discussing on air how Chelsea Clinton, 27, is taking an increasingly active role in the campaign. "Doesn't it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?" Wolfson noted that just last month another MSNBC personality, Chris Matthews, apologized for saying the reason Clinton...

LEWISTON, Me. — Hillary Clinton isn’t pulling her punches today, and she’s ripped. Clinton doesn’t think a temporary suspension fits the crime by MSNBC’s David Shuster, who commented this week that the Clinton campaign had “pimped out” 27-year old Chelsea Clinton by having her try to recruit Democratic Party super delegates to support her mother. Sen. Clinton’s letter to Steve Capus, president of NBC News, pretty much says it all: Dear Mr. Capus, Thank you for your call yesterday. I wanted to send you this note to convey the depth of my feeling about David Shuster’s comments. I know that...
