I watched both shows with Chris Matthews last night as well as this morning on Imus. I think his has been possibly the BEST analysis of the CBS-brouHaHa.
He recognizes that this story is the essence of a war going on between the forces of Roger Ailes (Fox) on one side and the MSM (Rather) on the other. Matthews calls this THE big political story of our times...information.
Chris had others on his shows who disagreed and tried to defend Rather. But Chris was unfailingly harsh in his assessments of the original story and he made it clear he thought the panel didn't go far enough.
Yes, I saw him both hours. He WAS unusually even minded. I was pleasantly surprised. It was about time.
'Spitball' Chris almost fell out of his chair when Pat Buchanan called Rather's ploy "The Ted Baxter Defense'! But, Matthews is usually a LIBERAL shill, he'll be back to normal soon.
And that cutie Michelle Malkin should throw a pie in his face some time in the near future.
