Matthews is a liberal democrat, and it is dangerous that almost every tv news anchor/host is a liberal democrat also.
However, Matthews is by no means the worst. He has given alot more attention to the swiftvets than other liberal channels/shows have, and he has allowed conservatives to come on the show and make the case. Thats a heck of a lot more than i can say for Dan Rather/Tom Brokaw/Peter Jennings/Larry King.
Matthews never served.
You left out the guy weho denigrated the Swifts, O'Reilly.
