Is Chris Matthews Is Becoming the Left’s Bill O’Reilly?
As a progressive, one of the things that I appreciate about MSNBC’s evening line-up is that although its people have a liberal point of view, they stick to actual facts rather than slide down into the slimy half-truths and outright lies that Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and the other on Fox’s right wing mouthpiece network roll around in night after night.

Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and David Gregory are among the best in class in asking intelligent, probing, and penetrating questions, even of talking heads with whom they might agree.

But somehow, Hardball host Chris Matthews is morphing into the network’s Bill O’Reilly, trying to out-stink Mr. Orally (as Olbermann calls him). His dislike of Bill and Hillary Clinton was obvious throughout the primaries, whether through comments, questions, or being written all over his potato-like face whenever they were a topic of discussion.

2. He goes where the political winds blow....
...when Bush was stealing and/or winning elections, Tweety moved to a sort of Reagan Dem populist position especially on national security. Now the wind is blowing left and he's got full sails.

3. Did I miss the memo?
When was Tweety ever a part of "the Left?"
