California Dreamer,

You are aware, of course, that Chris Matthews was a speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, and that he was an aide to Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill? He also said emphatically in an interview on Hardball, where he and his wife took turns as the guests, that he was supporting Howard Dean, and that his son was even part of the Dean campaign?

California Dreamer,

Yeah, he is pretty hard on Kerry. But don't you realize it's because he views Kerry as not far enough left??? The reason he voted for Bush is because Matthews HATES the Clintons and he viewed Al Gore as the successor to the Clinton legacy.

Angus,

Yeah, I voted for Fox as well, but quite frankly, the MSNBC coverage is also very, very good. I don't find them to be biased in favor of either candidate. CNN, of course, is a different story...

Angus,

I agree. CNN is popular in other parts of the world for the obvious reason that they paint the least favorable picture of the US among the major cable news networks.

Angus,

I know...I just wanted to state it clearly for those not on the same frequency.

El Corazon,

In your haste to take a shot at me, you must have failed to read my post commenting on Matthews voting for Bush in 2000.
