Chris Matthews: World’s Biggest A**
Once again, Chris Matthews, a man that swoons at the sound of his own voice, proves himself to be the biggest ass and peddler of disinformation on TV. Here’s Matthews asking Ned Lamont if he had anything to do with with Joe Lieberman’s web site being down:
Never mind, of course, that if Matthews and the other useful idiots in the main stream media had done any "investigative journalism" they would’ve found what this — and other — intrepid citizen found out, namely: Joe’s web site was hosted by a crappy company that could not hold up to high traffic demands on the web site.
UPDATE: Marty Kaplan weights in on Matthew’s oft-repeated attack on Liberal bloggers:
It’s funny: the entire District of Columbia is built on the exact same process that Chris Matthews describes, except that instead of people using keyboards, they use phones, and instead of blogging, they use their access to print and broadcast media, and to one another.
I lived and worked in politics and journalism in Washington for eight years, and every day, the inviolable morning ritual was that people read the papers, they watched television, and then all day long they called one another to ask, "What do you hear?" The biggest difference between the daily routine of the Beltway chattering class and the blogosphere is that the Gang of 500 (as The Note calls them) has been replaced by the dispersed and inherently more small-d democratic netroots.
