7. Tweety bloviates too much...

I know I am stooping at calling Matthews Tweety. Not sure who started referring to him as Tweety - but it fits pretty well I think. He is sometimes on target with his diatribe, but typically just comes off as a mouthpiece for the establishment moderates. He lost me when he swooned over G. W. Bush's flight onto the deck of the aircraft carrier in 2003 for the "Mission Accomplished" speech and how he in general championed the War in Iraq during the lead up and beyond. While he isn't 100% wrong all the tome, and maybe not even 75% wrong most of the time - that guy is definitely 50% off base usually! In 2016 he has obviously been in the can for Hillary, and has shown a clear bias against Bernie Sanders' camping. I think Jimmy Dore is spot-on in his characterizations and complaints. What the heck is Tweety talking about?

I love his opinion pieces, along with those of his counterparts at TYT! They are the new media and I am paying attention...
