What would be really interesting is to see how he’s covered the many stories of other high profile sexual harassers and abusers that have been in the news lately. Wonder if he’s talked about it on his show or avoided the topic. I haven’t been watching him.
If I’m into watching the news, I tune in when Ari is on and resume watching when Chris or Rachel comes on. Sometimes I don’t watch Chris because he has a habit of inappropriately laughing at shit that simply isn’t funny…and that grates on me. Must be nice to be so comfortably unaffected by how this fascist government is taking over, one evil move after another.
I am so freaked out right now about where we’re headed as a country, I can’t laugh at any of it…even the outrageousness of it all makes me worried we are headed for full blown authoritarianism from which we may never recover. Anyone amused by fucking politics right now isn’t serious enough to want to do anything about what’s happening. Tweety is still one of those fools. Like you say…he thinks he’s still living in the day of Tip O’Neil and all the myths people like Matthews helped create in the first place. Those days sucked too…but nothing like what we have today. Today we have wide-spread corruption in business, banking, telecomm and government, the likes we have never seen, with a foreign power still involved in trying to pull the strings.
