Matthews Won’t Run for Office
MSNBC ‘journalist’ Chris Matthews considered running for the U.S. Senate for a couple of months now. He surrounded himself with staffers and advisers who had to find out whether he could take over one of Pennsylvania’s seats during the 2010 elections for Congress. Reports that he was considering running for political office caused somewhat of a media controversy; Matthews had long been considered a pro-Obama partisan hack, but he lost all semblance of objectivity when he prepared to run for office.
In addition to the above, Matthews was and is not exactly well liked among all voting blocs: moderates, Independents and Republicans cannot stand the man. As if that is not enough, many Democrats are not exactly fond of the MSNBC ‘journalist’ either.
Matthews has seemingly reached the same conclusion; it was reported Thursday that he told his staff he will not run.
Many can release a sigh of relief: Matthews will not go to the U.S. Senate. Instead, he will simply do what he did for years; be MSNBC’s partisan hack, who twists, spins and distorts everything in order to help further a Democratic agenda. Some thought Matthews might be asked to be Barack Obama’s press secretary; this would be quite useless for the president-elect, however, since Matthews is doing a far more valuable job repeating Obama’s talking points on national television, disguised as a journalist.
