Chris Matthews, a Democrat, a potential senate candidate, one who claimed it was a journalists job to hold people accountable in office is now shown doing a complete 180 that a Dem is in office. Not that it's not his right, but funny how people are giving him yet another pass. Truth is he's no more a journalist than Hannity or Carville. Just glad to see him show his true colors once again. Funnything is that this too was on MSNBC and his co-workers were shocked.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah, well, you know what? I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work, and I think that --
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Is that your job? You just talked about being a journalist!
MATTHEWS: Yeah, it is my job. My job is to help this country.
SCARBOROUGH: Your job is the make this presidency work?
MATTHEWS: To make this work successfully. This country needs a successful presidency.
Lest anyone think this is isolated, here's a youtibe clip showing him stating how he has a thrill go up his leg everytime he speaks.

| It's making a point that the left has their own version of Hannity. |

At least the Post came clean about their bias. We're all in trouble when "journalists" feel it's their job to "help the country". Their job is to report THE FACTS. I agree, he's the left version of Hannity. The problem is that the line between commentator and journalist is too blurred. This article also shows the coverage of the issues was dismal and incomplete, and that the media was not focusing on the issues. The crowd will go where they are led...
| Quote: | Stories and photos about Obama in the news pages outnumbered those devoted to McCain. Reporters, photographers and editors found the candidacy of Obama, the first African American major-party nominee, more newsworthy and historic. Journalists love the new; McCain, 25 years older than Obama, was already well known and had more scars from his longer career in politics.
The number of Obama stories since Nov. 11 was 946, compared with McCain's 786. Both had hard-fought primary campaigns, but Obama's battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton was longer, and the numbers reflect that.
McCain clinched the GOP nomination on March 4, three months before Obama won his. From June 4 to Election Day, the tally was Obama, 626 stories, and McCain, 584. Obama was on the front page 176 times, McCain, 144 times; 41 stories featured both.
Our survey results are comparable to figures for the national news media from a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism. It found that from June 9, when Clinton dropped out of the race, until Nov. 2, 66 percent of the campaign stories were about Obama compared with 53 percent for McCain; some stories featured both. The project also calculated that in that time, 57 percent of the stories were about the horse race and 13 percent were about issues.
Counting from June 4, Obama was in 311 Post photos and McCain in 282. Obama led in most categories. Obama led 133 to 121 in pictures more than three columns wide, 178 to 161 in smaller pictures, and 164 to 133 in color photos. In black and white photos, the nominees were about even, with McCain at 149 and Obama at 147. On Page 1, they were even at 26 each. Post photo and news editors were surprised by my first count on Aug. 3, which showed a much wider disparity, and made a more conscious effort at balance afterward. |
