9. Matthews follows the herd

The media in general is lowering the bar for The Donald so that the 'horserace' can commence, a race in which Trump and Hillary Clinton are . . . equals. We (the viewing as opposed to thinking public) need to swallow the meme that both candidates are equally disliked, corrupt and congenital truth-killers. Because Matthews and his kin are 'objective, serious journalists" all things must be equal to cover the national campaign. Even though Trump is an unqualified, know-nothing narcissist, at least he's a man willing to do battle with the unscrupulous Hillary Clinton, a woman who has been under a journalistic and political microscope for 25 years, yet has the audacity to survive, thrive and make the Donald Trumps of the world look like the small, petty men they truly are.

As I recall, Chris Matthews swooned over GW's performance art on the aircraft carrier, the one displaying the Mission Accomplished banner.

Several months ago, Matthews lashed out at Katy Tur for not doing her job properly (she didn't have the answer to one of the man's questions). Ten days ago Matthews was gushing over Tur's remarkable luck of being able to cover The Donald 24/7, said she was doing a fine, fine job reporting Trumpster News.

Man-crush much?? Yeah, just a tad obvious.
