Smackdown on Hardball
May 15th, 2008
I’m no fan of Chris Matthews — not by a longshot — but we need more of this (video via TPM). When some pinhead — and I don’t care if he’s from the left, right, or center — goes on and obviously doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about, he needs to be called on it. And when somebody uses rhetoric that’s obviously bullshit, that needs to be pointed out, too.
Now if only more of the media would do it, and do it less selectively. I long for a news media where guests know that they’d better not go on expecting to be able to parrot talking points, and where they know that they’d better know what the hell they’re talking about. But I’ll never see that day, I’m sure.
