Entry #8 from Boston: Chris Matthews is a punk

Thanx to all of you who brought to my attention Chris Matthews' unceremonious and hostile decision to cut into Sharpton's speech last night and make reference, of course, to Tawana Brawley.

New blogging buddy and political satirist, Tom Burka, of Opinions You Should Have, received a call from his wife decrying Matthews' decision to yank coverage of Sharpton's amazing oration -- quite possibly the most powerful speech of an electorally non-viable political figure in modern times. His non-viability only increasing with every highly selective reference to Sharpton's storied past.

I wonder what former Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) thinks about this media phenomenon. Or for that matter, former drunk driver and alleged cocaine expert, George W. Bush. And since I'm in good ole Beantown, would it be inappropriate for Chris Matthew and Co. to familiarize TV audiences with the late Kennedy family patriarch, Joe Kennedy's "entrepreneurial activities" that paved the way for the unequivocally positive contributions many of his scions made to this country?

While not particularly surprising to many of us, Matthews' selective double-standard may be the outgrowth of a tragic disease called in this new civil era: "bias" -- or what my maternal grandmother, Madeline Murphy, and former Baltimore Afro-American Newspaper columnist, would call the antics of a racist dog.

Oh, wait a minute, he worked for the late, great Democrat, Tip O'Neill -- and he's a celebrated on-air personality in the leftist-dominated mainstream media, so I guess it'd be impossible for him to be . . . "biased".

Anyway, I'm sure that in the interest of fairness, whenever Matthews talks about his buddy and (briefly) deposed white journalist, Mike Barnicle, he'll start every exchange with "

Speaking of racist dogs, I walked past fascist columnist and CNN talking head, Bob Novak, on my way to the convention the other day. I thought he was ugly on the inside, but damn! Even "fugly" would be too mild a term. Granted, I don't have the dashing good looks of civil rights deactivist Ward Connerly, but come on, Novak. Perhaps it's time to consider a visit from the Fab 5.

The next day when leaving the convention, I ran across noted gay rights activist, Armstrong Williams, and vegan anarchist, Delroy Murdock. (I believe that's their respective claims to fame, but I may be wrong. Can someone check this for me?) Too bad I didn't run across them with a truck . . . filled with anti-self-loathing ointment, which incidentally, I am told Pfizer is working on as we speak.self-love that is (metaphorically, of course.)

Last query: Can whiny 'Crossfire' co-host and DNC automaton, Paul Begala, call a guest on his show a "racist dog"? No? Too bad. We can in the blogosphere though. Right, folks?!

Aside from the periodic death threats, blogging's awesome!

This is my first time to your site. I agree with some of the stuff said here and some I don't. But what really gets me is the lack of any solutions. Is this just a forum for you to complain or are you going to help change the world?

[Nichelle]

"The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart commented on Chris Matthews disrespect of Al Sharpton, and then MSNBC only cut back to Sharpton when Brian Williams was interviewing him. However Williams was totally clueless to what Sharton's speech was about...

I wish they had of cut them all off. Not one of them was saying anything that had substance. Just more left wing demon-cractic lies

[Gigi]

If you want an unbiased presentation of the ENTIRE convention, watch C-Span. I got tired of the talking heads on CNN. I did turn to them after I watched Al Sharpton's speech and I was dumb-founded to discover (I don't know why it shocked me)that they found nothing positive about Rev. Sharpton's comments. And where do they get these commentators? They should have you on Christopher. BTW I'm a friend of your Uncle Arthur.

[Dominique]

I was extremely abhorred by Chris Matthews' behavior during Al Sharpton's speech! For those of us who cannot be present at the Convention to hear and see the speeches first-hand, we DEPEND on the Media to bring the speeches to us. Chris Matthews sabotaged the delivery of Al Sharpton's speech to thousands of viewers, including myself! It was so obvious that his intent was to not only discredit the message by discrediting the messenger, but to prevent the viewers from receiving any more of the message! One question that I have is WHY did Chris Matthews do this and for what reason? Was he instructed to do this by the management at MNBC? Is this part of an agenda to keep the people stupid, uninformed, and ignorant of a diversity of viewpoints and factual information? This incident was indeed extremely troubling because it gives credence to the notion that it is OUR (the good ole US of A's) mainstream press that are the purveyors of propaganda and impediments to news dissemination.

Oh man... you get periodic death threats?Jeeze.... I only get financial investment offers from Nigeria.

Some folks have all the luck. To get death threats, I had to agree to get married.

[jeanwesley]

WHY DID MSNBC AND CHRIS MATTHEWS CUT REV SHARPTON'S SPEECH OFF. Yeah I know it’s rhetorical. If it wasn’t so blatantly incompetent, paternalistic culturally insensitive (considering the history of AA's allegiance to the Dems that he was speaking to) it would be amusing yo. They flew into a tirade about 'Als Tone'...I was simply astonished by the lack of even an attempt at unbiased reporting. They went on to say that Sharpton had no place in the election. Intimating that all he was looking for was a hot meal and nice hotel accommodations. Ultimately culminating in (you guessed it) the invoking of that name...Tawana Brawley..... They should just skip all the platitudes and call the Brotha Nigga (and I don’t mean that in '..No nice way..-Kanye West reference)

===============================================================

I have been in contact with Rick Kaplan (pres/gm MSNBC) already this AM. He has attempted to contact me. Twice

……………………….

They had Jeremy Gaines vp Corp Communications call me. He just apologized to me. He said in retrospect they should have continued with Mr. Sharptons speech. The apology seems hollow,,despite my efforts they have decided not to apologize on air..

.Call Them!!!!
