Chris Matthews’s Leg Gets Familiar Feeling During Sotomayor Hearing

Chris Jones — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:44:05 +0000

Last time Chris Matthews had a “thrill up his leg” it was while listening Barack Obama. Well, it looks like the thrill is back! The Sotomayor hearings have apparently reactivated what was thought to be a dormant leg.

Chris Matthews on the Sotomayor hearings:

"I’m getting one of those thrills I get about America," Chris Matthews said. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say this and I’m getting it again," he said. Matthews concluded he got the "thrill" after Sotomayor "talked about sitting at that table and not being a genius like Barack Obama."

Just referring to Barry as a genius is now enough to cause Matthews to have an on-air orgasm. Wow.

ABC Employees Donated To Obama Over McCain By 33-to-1

Employees of ABC donated more than $160,000 to Obama’s presidential campaign. Employees donated to Obama/Biden over McCain/Palin by a staggering 33-to-1 margin.

Moreover, not a single journalist at ABC donated to McCain — unless you count Elizabeth Hasselbeck as a journalist.

Knowing this, we’re actually supposed to believe they’re going to be honest brokers during next week’s ABC ObamaCare infomercial?

The same ObamaCare infomercial that ABC claims will provide “diverse” viewpoints on the matter, while at the same time denying the GOP the right to even advertise their viewpoint during commercial breaks?

Yeah, right.

ABC Becomes The All Barack Channel

Chris Jones — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:24:18 +0000

ABC News has announced that on June 24, the network will be broadcasting live from the White House to shill for Obama’s health care plan.

This from Drudge:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.
The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room.

Here’s the funny part. In an effort to reassure critics, ABC News says they’re committed to “thoughtful” and “diverse” points of view on the health care debate.

However, that assurance is meaningless because ABC’s primetime special will include no opposing points of view.

“Thoughtful” and “diverse” means shilling for the Obama administration and repeating whatever the Dear Leader says.

The media has always been in the tank for democrats, but the difference this time around is they’re not even trying to hide it.
