Chris Matthews: Press should cover Red America as a "Foreign Country".

Hardball | 11/5/04

Not a bad idea, as long as the red states get to accredit their journalists and issue them visas.
Prissy Matthews need not apply.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

But ... it's 90% of the US ...

"Maybe we have to start covering 'America' as a separate beat...like our foreign correspondents"

Maybe we have to start treating the MSM reporters as foreign agents, agents of a hostile power, enemy agents.

Maybe we need to start treating them as the enemy spies and saboteurs that they are.

And you know what the Geneva Convention says you can do to spys and saboteurs in time of war.

Chris Matthews last words: "I regret that I have but one life to give for my show's ratings."

We lived for a while in the San Francisco Bay area. I remember remarking to my wife, "These people dress like us and speak English just as we do--even using the same idioms. But it's as if they live in an entirely different country." It's true. They're aliens.

[ladylib]

The Old Media. I sort of like that.

Chrissie's brother is a Full Blow Repub in PA. I'll bet that's a Family dinner that never happens.

Chris Mathews was interviewing Senator elect Thune over the phone and was aghast at Thune mentioning he was going pheasant hunting! wanted to know if he killed the birds and ate them.

Powerful...and true

'WE' are the majority....it is time to start using our majority weight and pressure to confront the Media , and especially all networks , both cable and standard , to get rid of people like Rather and Matthews who subliminally (and not so) salt their reporter and commentator duties with left-Liberal
values and spin. In so doing they attack 'we' the majority
on a daily basis.
I've had it with this stuff. It is time to FIGHT BACK !
Never a better time than here and now. Flood them with indignant e-mail and hard copy . How dare they continue to force this crap in our face? Threaten and institute boycotts.
Make it hurt. Let's make it real and take this great victory
as an opportunity to force media reform. It is time to kick these people right off their soapboxes , once and for all.

Chris Matthews is a mental case!

Thanks for watching and reporting. I count on other FReepers to keep me informed concerning his rantings.

But as Martin Buber said, "we must call the demon by its name to have power over it."

The question is "who is the enemy?"

[LouAvul]

In line with that, when are true Americans living in Kommiefornia going to get our own state? We need to split Cal into two: Kal and Cal. Let the commies have the coast, all the way to LA.

I'm tired of all our electoral votes automatically going to the filth that contaminates this great state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Two word, Mr. Matthew: Sexual nihilism."

Are you saying - in a round about way - that everyone who voted for President Bush never engages in sex for pleasure?

[schu]

These guys just do not understand that one does not need to be "religious" NOT to want the government to sanction and approve the idea of gay marriage. How many folks want their kids taught in school that 2 guys "marrying" each other is the same as a true marriage?

[RabidBartender]

Matthews is irrelevant. I deprogrammed MSNBC from my dish after watching Ron Jr. before the election. Never again.

To Olbermann: You don't get it, do you? Dan Patrick was the talent on the ESPN team, bud, not you. How many channels have you worked for now?

[crazyhorse691]

Half of an admission is still dodging. I think you are reaching way to far to call this an admission. Its closer to the 10 year old boy telling the judge "I am sorry I broke the window and narrowly missed the old lady in the rocker".

[weenie]

True...but religion is not as it has been defined...it is that thing at the bottom of your heart and soul. It is yours...and it is you.

[kempster]

See those little tiny blue bubbles on the map...that's where they live.

[Rockpile]

You mean Sissie Matthews still has some viewers?
