August 23, 2004 -- REPUBLICAN insiders are giving cable-TV political host Chris Matthews the cold shoulder — believing that he has gone over to the Kerry camp — according to a published report.
U.S. News and World Report says Matthews protested too sharply about the Bush campaign's editing of an MSNBC "Hardball" interview with Kerry posted on the party's negative site, www.kerryoniraq.com.
As a result, GOP officials are quietly advising Republicans not to go on his show.
" 'Hardball' may seem more like badminton during the Republican National Convention," the magazine quoted one GOP insider as saying.
"Hardball" executive producer Tammy Haddad didn't know her show was being blackballed, she said.
"We beat everybody up," she told the magazine.

Hope you have fire-retardent hair!
The proof was in the book they were discussing which he ADMITTEDLY HAD NOT READ.
At least you lurkers are doing a little bit better job and not getting banned immediately. Five days and counting.
WHY WAS THAT ATTACK ON MS. MALKIN NOT A HATE CRIME????
HAS ANY DISTRICT ATTORNEY CONSIDERED CHRIS MATHEWS FOR THIS POSSIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
Go back to MoveOn.org and tell them you infiltration attempt has failed.
For Hardball, of course, you have to be mature, and at least beyond the third grade level.
Who's the woman standing between Chris & Andy Rooney?
I don't think he should be forgiven for his LAZINESS in not even reading the book before trying to slam it -- or for the fact that he was TOO STUPID to realize that "self-inflicted wound" does not mean that it was done intentionally.
Yeah, well he was a downright bully with the swift vet who came on before her. He looked like a jackass, which is another way of saying Democratic party hack.
He did nothing of the sort. He not even once gave her more than 2 seconds to explain her position. On top of that, the conversation was about a subject of which he was completely ignorant. Not only did he neglect to read the book, he stole Michelle's from the green room.
Speaking of left wing shills, welcome to FreeRepublic.
Malkin: Well, I...
Matthews: What's your favorite planet? Mine's the sun 'cause its the biggest.
There is no fair shake for Bush coming from ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,MSNBC or any of the so called "Mainstream Media". Bush is fighting the largest corrupt political machine in the history of American politics.
Bullshit. He wouldn't let her get a word in edgewise. He's a OBVIOUS partisan hack/shill for Kerry. He's on my boycott/blackball list forEVER.
Every Republican should go on Hardball.
And talk non-stop about their favorite Michelle Malkin columns.
I used to like Chris, but he seems to have become much more partisan -- just like the MSNBC web site. The way he treated John O'Neill and Malkin was beyond the pale. Hardball and MSNBC seem to have completely lost all objectivity in their drive to get Kerry elected. BTW, even if you're watching other shows on MSNBC, your still adding viewers to MSNBC, thus helping to keep the current blatantly pro-Democrat version of MSNBC viable...
On the Swift Boat / Kerry issue, the MSNBC web site has been so slanted, it's laughable...
Troll; ZOT® him! Call the AdminModerator...
Silly.
