Do you doubt for a moment that Matthews knew full well that he was lying thru his teeth every time he spoke?

I will give Matthews some credit on his show last night though...

He had Russell Tice on (the NSA "whistleblower") and he did grill him a little about what he witnessed.

He does it so well you just have to wonder if he really is that stupid, or just misinformed.

Precisely!

“MATTHEWS: OK. Well, Scooter Libby is facing 30 years in jail for a mountain out of a mole hill. That‘s a serious matter.
MEESE: It has nothing to do—he wasn‘t even charged with that crime.”

What Matthews is doing here is not spin, it is not bias, it is not being disingenuous, it is not flacking for the Democrats, It is lying plane and simple. There is absolutely no doubt that he knows that as Meese says “he wasn’t even charged with that crime”.

He is trying to get his audience to believe something which he knows to be false , i.e.he is lying.

I just wonder how the management at NBC justifies to GE and its stockholders, the idea that mouthing DNC talking points is more important, than attracting viewers or advertising bucks. I believe if they replaced either Chris or Keith with randomly selected, non-syndicated conservative radio talk show host, with zero name recognition, their viewer ship would increase dramatically.
