WaPo's Jen Rubin: The Scandal Is MSNBC... ***Barf Alert** [View all]

Whereas this "person" named Jennifer Rubin says the problem is not Krispy Kreme's antics. No, its that lying Mayor Zimmer and these partisan MSNBC hacks.

She repeats the 70 million dollar lie about the $$$ that Hoboken HAS NOT received and says Zimmer's journal could have been written "at any time"...

The comments below the article are pretty good with some of us really wearing Rubin out about her nut job perspective... When someone mentions that Mayor Zimmer just did a interview with CNN and Candy Crowley, others immediately start the "Communist News Network" meme and that Candy Crowley is a Democratic plant. (we wish!!!)

Here is the link two the article, with a couple of Rubin's more delusional paragraphs:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2014/01/18/the-scandal-is-msnbc/

The test for the mainstream media and for medic “critics” (often merely on the prowl for Fox News bias) is whether they find the actual scandal: The MSNBC hit-squad that does not investigate, does not make any pretense of balance or fairness and is nevertheless given legitimacy by other media elites.
This is also a lesson for conservatives in dealing with liberal media bias. You don’t whine. You present the facts, fully and fast. You present compelling evidence of bias. If the conservatives want politicians who show some backbone when under attack by phony news operations, they’d be wise to follow the Christie model.
In the meantime, Christie, in an odd way, may be lucky here. MSNBC has turned a legitimate news story (the bridge) into a vivid display of media bias. That in turn will give conservatives who might otherwise see fit to pile on pause. Do they want to be the couriers of MSNBC smears?
