From Thinkprogress:
Last night at the 10th anniversary party for MSNBC’s Hardball, host Chris Matthews criticized the Bush administration for trying to meddle in his editorial content:
After praising the drafters of the First Amendment for allowing him to make a living, he outlined what he said was the fundamental difference between the Bush and Clinton administrations.
The Clinton camp, he said, never put pressure on his bosses to silence him.
“Not so this crowd,” he added, explaining that Bush White House officials — especially those from Vice President Cheney’s office — called MSNBC brass to complain about the content of his show and attempted to influence its editorial content. “They will not silence me!” Matthews declared.
“They’ve finally been caught in their criminality,” Matthews continued, although he did not specify the exact criminal behavior to which he referred.

He's losing his job so he got permission to do this in hopes of saving it. Chris has lied/blamed/and spin for the GOP for over ten years. That's how he came from cable to NBC as a reward for job well done. He prides himself as an insider to the Bush Administration. He has done as he was ordered to attack Dems and the Clinton. He added attacking blacks just for the hell of it. Now the Titanic is sinking he wants to keep his job by lying. Katie got permission to do the same as her few viewers found out she works for the GOP and White House and that's how she got her job.
These people need Karl Rove.
Jackie you are funny, but true they need some smart caniving evil GOP handler to help them think.
