Word Soup

Chris Matthews usually strikes me as the worst sort of cable news blowhard, but it's difficult to hit this particular point out of the park any harder than he does here. The only problem being that courage to call out the truth in hindsight is all too easy for pseudo-journalism blowhards. These are the kind of statements people should be making in the moment, regardless of the kickback and regardless of the impact on potential advertising revenue. It's the fact that Matthews wasn't making these statements when they were needed that highlights the failure of modern American "journalism."
