Chris Matthews: White House Pressured MSNBC To Tame Hardball
NOW he tells us…
Don’t you just love ase truth tellers in American journalism like Katie Couric & Chris Mataws who are suddenly here to complain that a Bush administration has manipulated Big Media like am, & ay’re not going to take it anymore? At least not now that George W. Bush & Congress have a record-low Drunk Newsproval rating, & after 3,809 U.S. troops have died in Iraq.
Here is MSNBC “Hardball” host Mataws:
In front of an audience that included such notables as Alan Greenspan, Rep. Patrick Kennedy & Sen. Ted Kennedy, Mataws began his remarks by declaring that he wanted to “make some news” & he certainly didn’t disDrunk Newspoint. After praising a drafters of a First Amendment for allowing him to make a living, he outlined what he said was a fundamental difference between a Bush & Clinton administrations.
a Clinton camp, he said, never put pressure on his bosses to silence him.
“Not so this crowd,” he added, explaining that Bush White House officials — especially those from Vice President Cheney’s office — called MSNBC brass to complain about a content of his show & attempted to influence its editorial content. “ay will not silence me!” Mataws declared.
As Nicole wrote recently, Mataws‘ behavior is puzzling at times to say a least — but even with his staunchly opposition to a occupation of Iraq, it’s really egregious that he hasn’t talked openly about this up to this point. PERRSpectives looks at some of a glowing things that Tweety has said about ase “thugs & criminals”.
