Chris Matthews, news media hero |
|
What is his movtive?
I'm sure most you can agree with me upon the opinion that Matthews has been an adovacate for the right on his show. Now, he is taking on the republicans deceptions and lies. He is good at it too. Is he just being a good honest republican; a rare breed, or is he moving to the left again where he began his politcal career?

1. A lot of people are hedging thier bets. |
|
Kerry is leading in the polls right now. The closer we get, if this stays the same, we will see more and more maneuvering.

3. hunting for brownie points by seeming to help bring down bunnypants |
|
Build 'em up and tear 'em down is how he seems to operate. Not happy unless he is fucking shit up. When Kerry takes office he'll start tearing him down too.

7. Good point but he seems to know whent to jump on the bandwagon |
|
He may have seriously analyzed bush chances of winning and sees no hope for his boy and wants to start kissing kerry ass now so he can crow.

9. That is entirely possible. |
|
People watch Matthews and he shows what the administration is doing wrongly and the lies they bring with them. They will start watching him and trust him.

5. Tweety appears to be taking a stand against the GOP noise machine. |
|
Tonights show was unusually good since he really picked apart the GOP's lies to the core. The Bush Family Evil Empire's use of his own show in their 11 min. video ticked him off so he went a little further at picking them apart then usual. I could only pray that Tweety is finally getting it. But, he still shills for the right with his lack of facts in WMD lies. He seems to have a memory block that Bu$h ended the WMD inspections early so he could get his war before truth triumphed over invasion. Tweety did good work tonight, but he still way out of touch on many issues.

10. Why doesn't O'Reilly call out this video? |
|
He was the one raging mad about the out foxed video segment of him telling people to shut up out of context. Bill you're only looking out for you.

8. change seemed to come with 911 widows |
|
I started to see the change in Chris Matthews when he had the 4 New Jersey 911 widows on after 911 Commission public testimony. I think he started to see the light.

11. matthews seems to have issue with blatant lieing |
|
he was pissed he got sucked in by the swiftboat vet commercial and bonding with the doctor only to find out the doctor wasnt the one to treat kerry. a couple nights later he brought in oneil adn went after him
he did this once he heard the 9/11 widows and some things shook him what they had said
and now he has found the internet ad? that has kerry saying on his show he is an anti war candidate and bush said in speeches that is what kerry said on matthews show. that is not what kerry said. matthews has been acting like he doesnt understand kerry's position but since bushco did this blatant lie about kerry on his show, he has issue
doesnt like it at all
i dont think this changes chris, i think he has personally been offended so now he is after bush. now out of integrity to give people the truth per se

13. I don't know what the motive is |
|
but he clearly is better at going after the right then the left. His attacks seem more sincere when he goes after the GOP. He pisses me off a lot, but nobody else can dismantle GOP lies like he can.
