HE LOATHES REP. BACHMANN
And he is fixated upon her, and has been for years, and she is simply imperturbable whenever she is interviewed by him.
It's the best television available, I kid you not.
Except that one time in fall 2008 Matthews set her up and kept telling her what to say. Finally when she replied “yes, ’the media ’ should investigate congress's views (motives) on America (pro/anti)” Matthews created a McCarthy investigation narrative and put EVERY Republican guest on the spot over it, and they dragged out liberal Colin Powell to denounce Bachmann over it. The Republicans he interrogated never saw the exchange before and Matthews was only re-playing a small part of it to them and the audience.
To show how made up it was ask Matthews and Powell if the Media should investigate congress for ‘racist’ views. That would have been the best reply, answer his 'questions' with questions that point right back at him.
