Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2020 Members Share Posted March 2, 2020 I no longer see any difference between Fox News and other media outlets. This is beyond forgiveness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted March 2, 2020 Members Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) I understand the need for objectivity as a journalist. But, when your politicians do or say something that most people would agree is heinous, I think you need to set aside that objectivity and, in those moments, speak truth to power. Like they used to say at Rolling Stone magazine, "if the president is a liar, call him a liar." CBS and "60 Minutes" are getting their asses and everything else handed to them for this. Good.

Members Faulkner Posted March 3, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) So Chris Matthews just announced he’s retiring from MSNBC minutes ago on air. Tonight was his last “Hardball.” Edited March 3, 2020 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted March 3, 2020 Members Share Posted March 3, 2020 I thought it was a very classy statement. I've had many, many issues with Matthews but I also have mixed feelings about him and always have. At the same time I think he'd gone too far, and it won't be surprising if more unsavory stories about him come out. He should've probably lost the job for some of his comments re: Clinton four years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 7, 2020 Members Share Posted March 7, 2020 There's been a lot of backlash on Twitter over Bill Maher's Chris Matthew defense last night (and he and Caitlin Flanagan attacking the victim). This is exactly what Maher has always been - why so many pretend he's some great hero for the left, I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
