I have serious problems with Chris Matthews' horserace philosophy, which Jon Stewart expertly sliced up to the point where Matthews just told a Daily Show writer last week to "Please get Jon Stewart to like me." Hilarious. But at the DNC in NC on hackmeister Andrea Greenspan's -- I mean, Mitchell's -- MSNBC show, Matthews just delivered the kind of talk the DNC better listen to (I can't find a link yet so hopefully one will show up shortly). He perfectly countered the "Are You Better Off" BS meme with the pithy brilliant takedown of the GOP:
"To leave this country in hell and now claim it isn't heaven."
But Andrea wasn't having any of it. She had Media Talking Points to deliver.
But Matthews would not let her -- in fact, he brilliantly challenged her "journalism" with one simple line after he listed a litany of the GOP's voter obstructionism and repeated lies and he asked her, "Isn't that right?"
Being the "journalist" she aspires to, she said nothing except, "That's an opinion."
Then Matthews delivered the coup de grace:
"It's not opinions, it's factual."
Andrea literally speechless. Matthews calling her hackery out. Epic Journalism Fail.
Nuff said.
