what is MTP
It's called Meet The Press. It's a weekly press briefing from the Democratic party occurring every Sunday morning. The DNC representative who heads up the show is Chris Matthews. He also represents the interests of the DNC on one of the lesser watched cable news networks called Hardball, but of course nobody watches that so the DNC put him on the CBS Sunday morning to make sure the message gets out.
Actually Tim Russert heads up the show.
