Matthews recognized Politico's charade

As much as Chris Matthews is a useless gasbag, he can occasionally stick it to someone -- or Politico in this case.

Matthews was with Politico's Jonathan Martin, who, to be fair didn't have any of these Cheney "exclusives" they come up with that give Cheney an open, uncontested platform to say whatever he wants. I think it's mostly Mike Allen who is the scorned former VP's stenographer. But still, pretty funny.

MATTHEWS: I mean, he’s got his own news conduit.

MARTIN: You know, we aggressively report on both sides.

MATTHEWS: It’s not reporting. He feeds you this stuff. … I do like Politico. He’s feeding you guys this crap. [...]

What’s he call up and say? “I got a hot one for you, Jon. Can you take — what’s your email address?” Is that what he does?


It's official Politico. Everyone gets the schtick. Get clicks, news value and integrity be damned.
