Tweety Matthews: We only show good economic news, not bad

On the March 17 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, host Chris Matthews stated, "We don't produce bad news on this show," later adding: "We only put out good news here on the economy."

As an example of the "good news" reported on MSNBC and Hardball, Matthews stated: "Every single night on this network, we produce on the half- hour, the latest stock averages. We show Nasdaq's doing well and Dow's doing well and the economy's doing well. We don't produce bad news on this show."

CHRISTIE: No, wait. When do you ever hear people in the media come out and say that the economy is strong in this country?

MATTHEWS: Every single night on this network, we produce, on the half-hour, the latest stock averages. We show Nasdaq's doing well and Dow's doing well, and the economy's doing well. We don't produce bad news on this show.

CHRISTIE: No, no, no. You're not hearing my point. What I'm saying to you is, if we spent as much time talking about what's going on across America -- if you look, and you have five states around the country right now who have the unemployment rates at the lowest level. If you look at the unemployment rates of the 50 states around the country, 46 of those states have had the unemployment rates go down. Consumer confidence is up, people are spending more money. People have the confidence by spending and opening their wallet --

MATTHEWS: But why don't people say things are going well?

CHRISTIE: Because - what I'm saying to you is, why doesn't the media, why don't we sit and have a conversation on Hardball and say, "Let's talk about some of the good things"?

MATTHEWS: We only put out good news here on the economy.
