by Mark Finkelstein December 23, 2005 - 18:53 Let's get some things straight up front: There are all sorts of predators on the internet, including of course many heterosexual males trolling for females. That being said, Abrams Report guest host Lisa Daniels and NY Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald managed to pull off an amazing PC tango on this evening's Abrams Report [perhaps a holiday-time replay?]. They managed to get through an entire, extended, segment about the way a young teenage boy was exploited over the internet, without once mentioning that the predators in this case were gay males or at...

  Deserve’s Got Nothin’ To Do With ItNovember 17, 2005 Being one of a dozen or so people who made the mistake of watching MSNBC last Friday, I now know two things: (1) Why MSNBC is approaching a zero viewership (it’s rating are actually a bit better than the Hearing Loss Network News) and (2) You deserve what you get when you ask for it.   It really is possible to be an academically well educated airhead and MSNBC’s Lisa Daniels is living proof.  Academic credentials are no substitute for the preponderance of intellectual independence necessary for the strength of common sense...

Liberal Abrams Report started a piece today saying, "Is it time to give parents rights over spouse rights? I say no way." An older and weaker looking Rev. Robert Schuller sat there via distance camera, looking very somber. "I think you've asked the wrong question." Abrams scoffed, and smileless Schuller answered, "We have to be intelligent.

Abrams changed the subject, starting about Terri's husband, and Schuller interrupted: "I can't understand why...

November 26, 2003 MSNBC Is Clearing Out a Slot in Prime TimeBy JIM RUTENBERG SNBC is reshuffling its lineup again to clear the way for a star, so far unidentified, it hopes to introduce in prime time in the coming weeks, according to a memorandum made available yesterday. Erik Sorenson, the president of MSNBC, said in the memorandum to his staff that he was moving "The Abrams Report" to 6 p.m.. from 9 p.m. weekdays. It had been at the later hour since major combat in Iraq ended but that time slot was supposed to be a temporary berth. The...

I half-heard someone on MSNBC’s “Abrams Report” last night saying that there are 6 million reasons to vote against Arnold, those 6 million reasons, of course, being the victims of the Holocaust. This has to rank as one of the stupidest and most unfair comments of the recall. Here is a New York Times report today, giving fuller context to Arnold’s comment. As far as I can tell, Arnold’s view is a very crude version of that of John Luckas in The Hitler of History. In any case, he’s not a Nazi. Here’s the Times bit. The Butler referred to...
