Chris Matthews Spontaneously Interviews Liberal Activists, One Just Happens To Be His Daughter

When you’re as in-the-tank for Obama as the folks at MSNBC are, stuff like this doesn’t even seem like a big deal.

Coming on the heels of news about Matthews’ supposedly spontaneous interviews at the RNC convention being pre-scripted, this is a pretty serious lapse.

News reporting influences the public.  When news reporting is choreographed or scripted or is made to appear to be something it is not, like when reporters engage in what appear to be spontaneous interviews that aren’t, it’s deception.

And that has no place in journalism, though these days “ethical journalism” is something of an oxymoron anyway.

I DO take my daughters to work with me once in a while.  I DON’T tell co-workers they are strippers who are always sleeping on my doorstep because they want to be Ramon’s Especial Lady!  But I guess that don’t matter to a person like Chrissy Hey Chrissy! still preorgasmic at the mere mention of the “O“‘s name?

Manufactured news. Of course sanni sees nothing wrong with it.

An investigation needs to be done to find out exactly when Chrissy boy formed this “grassroots” “spontaneous” youth organization and how much of his employer’s money he has stolen to bankroll it with.

I was thinking that even a blind, partisan butt monkey could see the deception and hypocrisy in this one. ...But he says he can’t!

It is not about honesty and clear thinking for these guys RBB.  It is about crying, whining and blaming everyone else for their problems.

McCain is doing badly, it must be Chris Mattews fault because he promoted his daughters political movement.

Poor little Hawaiian butt monkey! By that “logic” I’m demonstrating that you and rbb are lying, because I’m not defending you either!
What a maroon!

I was just noticing how chummy the two of you had become, each coming to the other’s rescue and agreeing with each other no matter how pathetically wrong you both are!

But, don’t let me interrupt your lovefest! (Or making!)You two guys are meant for each other!

PP,

I have no confidence in your ability to spot truth vs. something that is not.  Therefore, guessing what you think is a fruitless effort.

Why don’t you make an argument?

No argument is needed. Chrissy has been caught manufacturing a “news” segment. If it was parody perhaps Chrissy should be doing the Jon Stewart thing, because as a political commentator and “journalist” he is a fraud and abject failure.

As for the idiot identifying his daughter, that was stupid. And I hope his wife tore him a new ass when she found out about it.

But, it doesn’t change the fact that one of these statement by you cannot be true!

it must be Chris Mattews fault because he promoted his daughters political movement.

they clearly identify themselves as a non-partisan organization.

So, combatter of dirty tricks, which one is it?

PParets ignores Robs lies and focuses on improper use of words.  Hahahahaha!

Ok, so I didn’t use the correct wording.  I should have said:

It must be Chris Mattews fault because he promoted the political movement that his daughter is a part of.

Now what?  Do you feel avenged?  Ha!

No, I don’t feel avenged.  Vengeance never played a role in pointing out how you lately manipulate facts, statements and words to serve your purpose of the moment.

But your mention of ‘avenged’ reveals much about your own current mind-set.

Poof, the moron shows us why he is.....Poof.

Avenge:

1.  to take vengeance or exact satisfaction for: to avenge a grave insult.

So yes, I used the word correctly.

What do I expect from people who don’t know how to use the word Camp, or know that Iran had a Supreme Leader.

HA!

Hannitized:

If, by ‘lies’, you mean Rob’s description of the group as liberal activists, then you are on thin ice here. 

Auto salesmen often identify themselves as ‘client service representatives’.  Does that mean - by the logic you are applying here - that no one should call them con-artists?

Rob is describing the group in his own subjective words; not the same thing as a lie, however much you may dislike his appelation.  A lie would have been to describe them objectively as ‘paid demonstrators’.

People and groups identify themselves in flattering terms all the time. It’s ok for folks like you, me and Rob to describe them as we see them, and the way we see them may not be nearly so flattering.

FOXNEWS identifies itself as ‘fair and balanced’. How would you describe them, or do you feel you cannot challenge their self-identification?

No.  I don’t want to put words in Hannitized’s mouth, but - on another thread - he argued that ‘leader’ of Iran can be and should be interprepeted as the ‘supreme ruler’ rather than Ahmadidejan, and that I did not know that.

Ergo, he assumes I must be seeking to avenge myself on him.

[If he disagrees with what I’ve said here, he can post his own version.]

I notice how you have the innate ability to walk a fine line when it suits you, but fail to grant any lee-way when it comes to your political foes.

If there is no evidence to suggest they are a “liberal activists”, knowing Rob’s constant pattern of behavior, I think it can only be seen as a lie.

There is no reason to doubt that they are a bi-partisan organization.  Rob offers no information to contradict what was offered by the group.

This is a thin reed you are hanging your hat on PP.
