In this "PageCast" video Halperin twice asks whether President Obama is "doing too much." (In case you're just joining us, Halperin's "PageCast" is his daily list of items to "watch for." For example: Congress will be voting on things today so watch for that, and I collect a paycheck for saying this...

Chris Wallace the Insufferable: WALLACE: I do want to point out though just as a point of information, that Rush Limbaugh says, and I think if you read what he says, he wasn’t saying I want the president to fail. He was saying I want his policies, his agenda to fail and that he disagreed with them...

"Just one thing I was thinking about as I was getting on the copter. It was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that socialist question." —President Obama in response to the New York Times after a series of questions asking if he's a socialist....

Stop showing that chart documenting the DJIA from election day through today. For the last 24 hours I've seen the same graphic used on Morning Joe, Hardball and this morning with Alex Witt. It's actually more dishonest than continuing to have the spazzy white guys from CNBC on your air -- you know, ...

This especially made me laugh: Increasing the top tax rates on earnings to 39.6% and on capital gain...

As Sullivan points out, many of the far-right talkers are enjoying a bump in the ratings. There are many discussions and debates to be had about this, but there's a broader point here. In 2001-2005, when a conservative Republican president was riding high, cable news and the establishment media sile...

The Dems are going about the business of cleaning up the mess of 30 years of Reaganomics, and here's the GOP playing footsie with Limbaugh....

Gibbs yesterday: "I was a little surprised at the speed in which Mr. Steele, the head of the RNC, apologized to the head of the Republican Party." At some point soon, the establishment press has to ask the question: Why? Why are the White House and liberals so anxious to paint the Republican Party w...

Media Matters takes a trip down Fat Bastard Lane. Some highlights: When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the 'Movin' On Up' theme song from TV's 'Jeffersons' when he mentioned her. Following the disclosure of deta...
