Nutbag... and who ares what the washington examiner has to say? Why are you linking to this right wing site? you do realize this is a liberal blog???

Gah - Chris Matthews is even wrong when he's right. He's always all over the map. I sometimes listen to his show but he's just so weird and wobbly it's frustrating to follow him.

The MS is MSNBC stands for Microsoft. I wonder if Bill Gates might not be influential around the studio's everyday decision not to fire KO; and could it be that Tweety, who has good connections on the west coast, has see a new light and simply made a good career choice to dis the prez.

The biggest crime of the administration was enabling the CIA to get away with deliberately allowing the al Qaeda terrorists to murder 3000 Americans on 9/11. The new CIA Inspector General's report, which is much more detailed that the executive summary, says exactly that.
In fact it even names the managers who knew Mihdhar and Hazmi were inside of the US, and knew they were going to take part in the horrific attack that would kill thousands of Americans. These mangers were aware that by not giving this information to the FBI criminal investigators, it was going to make all but impossible for the FBI to stop this attack and many thousands of Americans would perish.
See www.eventson911.com for additional details.

All the negative comments about Matthews on this post -- which might have been deserved a few years ago -- doesn't take into account how he has railed against the war for a good long time and given the Admin no quarter at all. Actually I'm sad to read the bits of "reporting" on this which seems quite negative. And I feel sorry for Matthews that he did this as he's surely in for it big time. Remember Steven Colbert at the WH Correspondents dinner? The media hated Colbert's pointed truths at the prez and his admin but he survived it well because of "our" widespread support in the blogosphere.

It's easy for the Foxers and right wing radio idiots to shout their venom...they've been doing it in an atmosphere that generally rewarded them for it with damn little down side. But look at what happened to Dan Rather. Without strong backup, people who speak truth to power often pay dearly.

I think the least we can do is support Chris Matthews for doing something very risky -- very risky indeed. He is, after all, being far braver here than our candidates running for president.

Here's to ya Chris! Stick by your guns. In the end, truth wins out. It always does. I just hope there's enough support to make that winning out just around the corner.

Dear Chris Matthews,

As a large number of Americans (IMO) would love to see the current administration put in check and the cloak of excutive order removed your allegations remain assertions without proof. Chris, were's the beef.

I am surprised at the surprise. We've had people attending political rallys rushed away in handcuffs because of what is on their t-shirts. If someone dares criticize anything republican, it rumbles around the world in seconds with dozens of would-be avengers racing to microphones to denounce, get a scold out of congress, and blather on talk radio for days and days. Witness yesterday, someone noticeed Obama was not wearing some lapel pin, and within hours, republicans and their attach machines were on the tv and airwaves questioning his patriotism.

Who did they go after when they wanted to destroy Joe wilson? The mavens of media. They knew who their friendlies were.

But, I do want to quibble... GQ is not a news magazine, and does not pretend to be. I believe any organization has the right to deal with those who they believe have their best interests at heart when they are granting access that translates into prestige, revenue and other values.

GC had a choice to make and they made it.

It is imprudent to confuse hard news with opinion.

As with most things it comes down to money, which for Tweety means all about his latest book.

"They have finally been caught in their criminality."... even after I supplied the gas for their getaway!

-Tweety-

Tweety wet his finger, stuck it in the air, and noticed the direction of the political winds are changing. His remark is simply a flip flop to change the direction of his wide stance, so that he is not pissing into the wind. He wouldn't want unsightly spots on his favorite tapping shoes.

He was not specific, and he backed down, but at least, we are talking about it. If one news reporter speaks out about the pressure to control the news, that the Corporate Media is under, they will be ignored, ridiculed and called a conspiracy theorist, whatever that means. If two speak out that would be better,(Dan Rather) and if enough news people speak about their experiences, they might be listened to. When the Corporate Media reports on UFOs there is a lot of sighing and eyerolling. Anything positive about pot, must be offset by a something negative, and some snickering. Mention a political candidate without a Corporate Sponsor and you get a some of the same eyerolling and snickering. Any rally for peace or other demonstration for citizens rights is given a rather patonizing attitude, and the number attending is greatly understated. If there is a counter demonstration involving a couple of dozen people they will get TV time, equal to the half million people participating in the main demonstration. Who do you believe the Corporate Media or your own eyes?

Dudes and dudettes, Chris has just released a book. Dudes and dudettes, he's trying to get some copy for his frickin book titled something vapid like everyting is a frickin campaingn. Get it? Rest my children. Don't buy the frikin book. He's a media whore.....He didn't come through when it mattered. Now we're in the fasscist whirlpool down to hell... It doens't matter any more. Olbermann, write a book,why doncha...

Who cares that he wasn't specific about the "criminality". I'm trying to think of somthing significant the bush admin has done that isn't laced with criminality.

Chris is a fair guy who does what others won't do. He tells the truth. He has the guts to go against the grain, and if Cheney is out to gag the media yet again, he needs to be reminded freedom of speech,the press still is part of what our founding fathers faught and died for. Freedom being the Key word. Sure, Cheney is feeling the heat, he has good reason to want to hide the crimminal acts he took part in, acted in collusion with Bush in, killing thousands on 911, the Iraq war, other attacks he and black water plotted and executed. If the Public ever knew how he and the Bush administration gagged them prior to 911, which could have saved so many, all hell would break loose. That is a fact, the public was gagged prior to 911. They had no intent to warn us, allowing us to decide to fly or not, enter the towers that day, rather, they chose to profit from thier deaths, along with our militaries. The noose is tightening around him and its about time. Bravo Chris, keep up the good work. By the way, for those of you who don't know, the man got an honorary doctorate, nothing to sneeze at. Cheney should get jail time, impeachment, his assetts frozen, and charged with crimes against his own people, humanity and war crimes. Fair is fair.

I wonder if Matthews got intimidated, today he just said it was Libby's perjury suit = criminality.....what B*LLSH*T, either he was just blowin smoke, or he chickened out.
