Unbelievable. I’m sure Jon Stewart will be jumping to mock that joke of a network for how biased they are, right?

They’re just not hiding it anymore.

Hardcore Leftists as fiscal advisers? That would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a sad commentary on the country right now.

There is nothing like having the Pravda transcriptionists in your pocket.

BUT FAUX NOISE yadda yadda yadda!!1!11eleventy!21!

Sometimes I think even Obama knows these people are clowns. He just has to meet with them because they’re Leftist hacks that helped get him reelected. Throwing them a bone.
That being said, Obama shares their backwards, neo-Luddite view of economics, so….

These Marxists are relentless. I’m sure it’s a thank you for suppressing white voters AND let’s lie/spin the SPENDING cliff into “we don’t tax enough” cliff.
bob77 on December 5, 2012 at 10:41 AM
Well, of course.
These MSNBC hosts have to do show prep.

Translation: The president met with communist propagandists to discuss the best ways to fool the people and blame Republicans in order to complete the fundamental transformation.
darwin on December 5, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Imagine if Bush, or any Republican had done this. Imagine if any Republican had done any of the things Obama or the democrats have done.

Bark, MSDNC halfwits, and Trumka meet in a room to discuss how to get the economy going again.
Yeah..uh..how late is Cabelas open?

So this is what Barky meant by transparency– Transparent Libtardism and cronyism. Good to know.
Slainte on December 5, 2012 at 10:46 AM
They were later spotted leaving the White House; knees soiled, lips chapped, hair askew, strange stains dotting their shirts.

Fourth estate… Fifth Column… it gets so confusing…
Kraken on December 5, 2012 at 10:46 AM
Remember that Rachel Maddow anchored – anchored – their election coverage last month.
Before that it was Olbermann and Matthews.
Fox News pulls some ridiculous stuff but they’re not as bad as this network.
SteveMG on December 5, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Maddow tried to sneak in dressed like a man…wait…
right2bright on December 5, 2012 at 10:49 AM
White House fax machine broken? Never heard of e-mail? Or is he expecting them to kiss his ring?
CurtZHP on December 5, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Where Chris Matthews heads straight to the bar and starts attacking a bottle of scotch, Mr. Ed gives Trumka a full body massage, and Raplh Maddow sneaks off with Hillary and Huma to the Lincoln Bedroom.
The rest of the clowns head to the Situation Room for an urgent briefing on the state of Hip-Hope from Jay Z.

And, Barry’s new BFF Bill waiting at the door advising, “You better put some ice on that.”
Fallon on December 5, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Apparently we conservatives just whine.
We accept our destruction or we fight.
Where are the threads brainstorming on how to fight the media?!
GardenGnome on December 5, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Cattle call for the State Dept job?
forest on December 5, 2012 at 10:52 AM
And their defense is, blah blah blah Fox News.
reddevil on December 5, 2012 at 10:55 AM
(snicker)
NeoKong on December 5, 2012 at 10:55 AM
How dumb do you have to be to call these folks in to promote your agenda?
Were they going to do anything else?
SteveMG on December 5, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Keep this one in your back pocket for any time a progressive tries to disavow MSNBC as being on the fringe and not representative of the Democrat party or that stunningly centrist Obama.
Why should they hide it? It’s not like there are any reprisals.
The Schaef on December 5, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Pravda in America.
ButterflyDragon on December 5, 2012 at 11:12 AM
This is what our government has been reduced to – consulting with actors, actresses and liberal media to make decisions. We are screwed.
rsherwd65 on December 5, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Fuck this country. Let it burn. Will be easier to pick up the pieces afterward than to fight these National Socialists.
ramesees on December 5, 2012 at 11:15 AM
Marching orders for the fifth column.
Red Creek on December 5, 2012 at 11:22 AM
May all the media who are wedded to the gov’t give birth to cripples. May something very bad befall all of them and their familie.
Pravda, Goebbels, Stalin, Machiavelli, Orwell, Pinocchio and Muenchhausen orgasmed in their graves, again.
AmeriKa is the laughing stock of the world.
What a stupid land she has become, the once free and glorious lady.
YOU are a harlot now, AmeriKa.

Schadenfreude on December 5, 2012 at 11:27 AM
May they all suffocate from what they ate, Obama’s sh*t, not Beluga cavial.
Schadenfreude on December 5, 2012 at 11:29 AM
In all fairness, Stewart has attacked libs/Dems too…even Obama.
Seems more like the MSDNC crew were meeting with Obama so he could hand each of ‘em a stack of $100 bills for their tireless work in promoting his progressive liberal agenda….And less like they met The One to discuss economic matters.
On second thought, if Obama’s handing out stacks of cash, I guess it really is an economic discussion after all.
JetBoy on December 5, 2012 at 11:40 AM
Thanks Hot Air. I actually clicked on the story from Buzzfeed and, due to the comments, I now have to dip my my laptop in hydrogen peroxide:) “Faux News, wingnuts, etc, etc” Of course, nothing about the actual “meat” of the story, i.e. MSNBC mouthpieces arriving for their “talking points”.
Clink on December 5, 2012 at 11:41 AM
Sean Hannity went to the WH to talk to Bush more than once. Bush also brought others in from Fox and radio in to talk.
But, the WH totally controlled the airwaves though most of Bush’s first term.
It’s like lobbyists, really. Just another dumb thing in DC everyone does.
I don’t remember a Fox News group going in all it once, though. The media would have went crazy on that.
Moesart on December 5, 2012 at 11:48 AM
Sounds liek they are all hosts of opinion shows and not actually journlists. It’d be different if it was actually news anchors.
DethMetalCookieMonst on December 5, 2012 at 12:47 PM
…and onlooker Austin Powers upon seeing Rachel Maddow exclaimed
“THAT’S A MAN BABY”!!
ToddPA on December 5, 2012 at 1:12 PM
Whoa, talk about a meeting of the minds.
xblade on December 5, 2012 at 1:16 PM
MSNBC goes to White House to get marching orders.

Have you seen Pravda recently?
