Clinton Representative not helping the camp on Hardball

[MadBadger]

He is defending Mark Penn for his actions saying it was perfectly legitimate. Of course he is getting skewered for it. He is also somewhat coming to the defense of Billy Sheehan.

6. Is He The Talk Show Host Who Pimps Giuliani?

On October 4, MSNBC host Chris Matthews professed his neutrality in the presidential race. "I'm pretty independent, in terms of the two parties," he said. "I have been just as tough on Bill Clinton and Hillary and Rudy and the whole bunch of them."

In order to ascertain whether this claim is true, Media Matters for America examined every evaluative remark Matthews made on MSNBC's Hardball during the months of September, October, and November about either Hillary Clinton or Rudy Giuliani, the two national front-runners for their respective parties' nominations during that period. We excluded instances in which Matthews was simply reporting facts (e.g. "A new poll shows Giuliani leading ... ") and restricted ourselves to cases in which Matthews offered his own opinions or judgments.<1> We also excluded instances in which there was any ambiguity about whether the statement was positive or negative.

The results demonstrate that Matthews has been particularly friendly to Rudy Giuliani in recent months, and extremely hostile toward Hillary Clinton. Not only is there a qualitative difference between the kinds of praise and criticism he offers these two candidates, but a quantitative difference, as well: Matthews made 10 negative remarks about Clinton for every negative remark he made about Giuliani, and nearly three times as many positive remarks about the former New York City mayor as about Clinton. The ratio of positive to negative remarks was 3.5-to-1 for Giuliani, but 1-to-8.2 for Clinton.

7. He also gave an apology of sorts, quite different from what he did on

CNN (in a clip running at the same time) stating there was nothing wrong with Clinton's campaign.

8. If it was Obama they'd have him floating all over with his wings

since he is such a saint and never does anything wrong...til he gets caught.

11. "Hardball" has to maintain the #1 rating for Clinton bashing. Nearly 2 decades of bliss

for MSNBC's senior hack, Chris Matthews.
