What's the difference between a journalist and a reporter? The reporter doesn't become the hero of the story.Tell that to Matthews.
The truly troubling thing is that we have a left-wing Democratic politician wanna-be reporting and commenting on the news. In the olden days of TV, there were laws that governed this kind of thing. Equal time was one way, but that's long gone.
I want ideology-free news. I'm smart enough to make my own assessments. Aren't you?
MSNBC 'Hardball' Host Chris Matthews Mulls Run for U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania - washingtonpost.com:
"Matthews openly boosted Barack Obama's candidacy, saying he felt 'this thrill going up my leg' when the Illinois senator spoke. Days after the election he sounded more like a Democrat than a journalist, telling viewers that 'I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work.'
Saul Shorr, a Democratic consultant in Pennsylvania, says Matthews would likely be 'a pretty appealing candidate, a Northeast Philadelphia guy made good. It's a question of whether he'll be disciplined enough' after a career in cable news.
But former Democratic strategist David Sirota wrote in the Huffington Post yesterday that he hopes Matthews is 'humiliatingly obliterated in a Democratic primary,' adding: 'The sense of entitlement that this blowhard personifies is truly stunning.'"
