Analyzing David Shuster’s “Hypocrisy Watch”

David Shuster’s former 6 p.m. show, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, had a segment called “Hypocrisy Watch” in which Shuster, supposedly, would call out both Democratic and Republican hypocrisy.  The Media Research Center analyzed the and found Shuster had a liberal bias, which really shouldn’t shock anybody:

For over two and a half months, MSNBC host David Shuster featured a segment called “Hypocrisy Watch” on his program “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue” that overwhelmingly singled out conservatives and Republicans as hypocrites, while ignoring Democratic offenders. An analysis by the Media Research Center finds that of the 48 “Hypocrisy Watch” segments, 34 went after conservatives or Republicans. Only four (or just under nine percent) attacked liberals or Democrats. (Only two editions could be described as bipartisan. Another wasn’t political. The remaining seven segments all hit business and corporate-related targets.)
