(24,096 posts)Chris Matthews complained that the news media "sucks lately in covering the Iraq war," later asserting, "I have been a voice out there against this bullshit war from the beginning." But Media Matters has documented numerous instances during the past three years in which Matthews lauded President Bush's handling of the war, advanced false and misleading claims about the war, and attacked Democratic critics of the war.

As Media Matters noted, Matthews was chief among the cheerleaders when Bush delivered a nationally televised speech from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003, in which he declared that "[m]ajor combat operations in Iraq have ended," all the while standing under a banner reading: "Mission Accomplished." Despite lingering questions over the continued violence in Iraq, the failure to locate weapons of mass destruction, and the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein, Matthews fawned over Bush: "He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics. ... He looks for real. ... [H]e didn't fight in a war, but he looks like he does. ... We're proud of our president. ... Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president."

(25,491 posts)that I can't even type straight. That fucker...does he really think that no one remembers?
and for those of you who say he was 'against'...he had a technique: he would question the need for the war in a sideways studied manner, and then he would mercilessly cross-examine, (read: interrupt) those who opposed the war, belittling and calling into question the patriotism of those who doubted that Dick was telling the truth. He's a sack o'shit.
lying, no-account, two-faced sack of shit.

(9,463 posts)complicit in not questioning the bullshit about WMD in Iraq, in not highlighting the failures of 9/11/01, in not exposing the Neocons for what they are and were: greedy blood-thirsty war-hawks. The media failed miserably and Tweety was in it with both fucking feet.
