Matthews and the truth seldom cross paths.
He just tells the radical left what they want to hear.
Then he pimps his book for a few minutes.

That's just more right-wing bull****. Matthews is only mildly left of
center, and while he sometimes is hyperbolic, he's far more honest and
straightforward than the mooks on Fox.

A agree about Fox but Matthews is as bad as O'Reilly.
The blondes and that other guy who sits with them are pretty dumb. I
really see more of it on the Daily show than anywhere else. I agree
Fox News is largely unwatchable.

I usually have CNN on during the day.
I do like Erin Burnett. I record it and watch the next day.

I prefer Rachel Maddow, though. She so politely skewers mindless righties.

Maddow is OK but still leans pretty far left. If you lean left you
probably think she is fair and balanced.

I recognize Rachel for what she is...a really bright and nice political
commentator with a lot of brainpower. It's not her job to be "fair and
balanced." It's the news shows on Fox I find disgustingly political. I
don't expect the network's nighttime commentators to be "fair and
balanced." On the other hand, I also don't expect them to tell the sorts
of whoppers they do.

I like Morning Joe, too. I also like Michael Steele as a commentator.
He's a lot more fun now that he's not running for political office in
the wingnut party. If he changed parties, I would vote for him for high
political office.
