Here are some of the latest outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes from or about the liberal media, courtesy of the Media Research Center:

It's a revenue problem (again): "Well, (the debt ceiling) goes up because of all the obligations that we have, right• ... The problem is our revenue, what the government takes in, in taxes. What you pay every month out of your paycheck is way smaller; in fact, it's only somewhere around $2 trillion a year. ... So that difference is what we borrow."

-- CNBC host Erin Burnett on NBC's "Today" show.

Those scoundrels!: "Guess what• (U.S. Rep.) Paul Ryan is doing it on the backs of poor people and seniors. ... He's not doing anything in terms of raising taxes to compensate and say, 'You know what, the sacrifice is going to be shared across all areas of our economy.' The rich get off like scoundrels."

-- Political analyst Juan Williams on "Fox News Sunday."

Whose interests? "Poor white people, poor black people are the ones who are oppressed by the right wing in this country, but they don't seem to get that. They vote against their own interests all the time."

-- CNN's Joy Behar on "The Joy Behar Show."
