As they move further and further to the left, they become near parodies of themselves, and thus, more irrelevant. As a political junkie, during the Clinton era and the the 2000 election, Hardball was a must watch for me every night. I haven’t looked at it, or MSNBC in 5 years, and frankly, don’t think we shoudl even bother worrying about what they say/think. Every time I see a thread posted here about, for example, “The Ed show”..I ask myself..why? and who could possibly care?
It was pretty unwatchable during the 08 campaign. Hardball, I mean. But you should check it out now— it’s good for a laugh.
For example, Chris Matthews is now asking guests “Could the Republicans win TOO MANY seats for their own good?”
