As Newsbusters previously reported, Carville and Matalin were both shown the door -- along with several other long-time commentators -- by CNN's new president, Jeff Zucker, during January of 2013.
Then in May of that year, Carville clashed with Bill O'Reilly over whether the hosts at MSNBC are “far left” or “liberals.”
The long-time Democrat asserted that far-left people are criminals who are “breaking the law,” while liberals do not fall into that category.
One day later, Carville praised Texas senator Ted Cruz as “the most talented and fearless Republican politician I’ve seen in the last 30 years."
While a guest on the September 12 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Carville contradicted Andrea Mitchell, who claimed that the world was "coalescing" around the president's position on Syria and said that there was "a lot of optimism" surrounding the Obama team's negotiations with the Russians.
Mitchell's comments were too much for even a long-time liberal like Carville, who said: "I love Andrea, and she's optimistic. God love her, I hope she's right. Count me a little more pessimistic."
Two weeks later, Carville compared GOP primary voters to low-quality jailbirds, and on February 5, the Democratic activist was hammered by Megyn Kelly when he complained that many of Obama's troubles come from the news media.
“Is it embarrassing for the president of the United States to be complaining about a cable channel?” she asked. “I mean, president Bush never did this about MSNBC.”
“Bush people would complain about the liberal media all the time,” Carville responded before Kelly replied: “Not president Bush.”
This much is certain: Having James Carville on the set of Fox News is bound to result in arguments and fireworks, just as those provided by Williams, Beckel and Powers. Critics of the cable news network would do well to remember that the so-called “conservative” channel is far better balanced politically than any of its competitors.
'Scuse me. There's only one "Ragin' Cajun". That's Ron Guidry, Yankees pitching great. Somebody else came up with the perfect name for Carville: "Skeletor".
"Critics of the cable news network would do well to remember that the so-called “conservative” channel is far better balanced politically than any of its competitors."
Correct! and that would be difficult to refute!
