Talking to the liberal Alex Wagner on Wednesday's&nbsp;<em>Hardball</em>&nbsp;about the IRS scandal, the cable host came clean on the press and their love for Barack Obama. After Wagner insisted that the President was tired of an "unfair media," Matthews scoffed, "<b>Let me tell you something. The press has generally been pro-Obama. That's a fact."&nbsp;</b>If the President disagrees, "he's crazy."

Barack Obama espousing his far-left philosophy of wealth redistribution (a theme consistent with his 2008 presidential run), and the liberal media almost completely ignored it.<br /></p><p><a href="https://www.mrc.org/press-releases/bozell-media-pig-pile-secret-romney-tape" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Press Releases Barack Obama brent bozell fundraiser Liberal Media Mitt Romney Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:24:27 +0000 scooter.schaefer 41312 at https://www.mrc.org MSNBC's Martin Bashir, Who Compared Santorum to Stalin, Mocks Concept of Liberal Media https://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/msnbcs-martin-bashir-who-compared-santorum-stalin-mocks-concept-liberal-media <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-source"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> By</div> <a href="/author/scott-whitlock">Scott Whitlock</a> </div> </div> </div> <p>MSNBC's Martin Bashir, who previously compared Rick Santorum to <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2012/02/14/martin-bashir-outrageously-compares-rick-santorum-mass-murdering-sta">genocidal murderer Joseph Stalin</a>, on Wednesday mocked the concept that MSNBC could be biased against Republicans.
