Chris Matthews = GOP Front Man

Published Thursday, May 25, 2006 by Nate | E-mail this post

This ad ran two nights ago on MSNBC hyping the next days Hardball.



I'm a marketing specialist by trade so let me break this one down for you. This was essentially a teaser for a one-hour commercial for the GOP. From start to finish the ad was graphically designed and scripted to support the GOP's message. Let's start with the leading question...

"The war in Iraq, Immigration, Gay Marriage... In this mid-term election, which issues will be crucial to the GOP when they fight keep control of Congress?" While asking that the graphical text runs Iraq War footage draped in American Flag/Anthem colors and graphics, then a picture of an illegal alien climbing over a barbed-wire fence and finally a picture of a black minister marrying a gay couple. Then we get treated to an "Inside Look" at the GOP's plan to "Stay On Top". Not hard-hitting news to determine if they deserve it mind you... Just what their plan is to do it. (I'm guessing Diebold)

Then it fades out to a Star-Studded image of Congress with all the bells and whistles. Chris Matthews' brother, Jim Matthews is currently running as the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania. Anyone who thinks he's impartially relaying the current "Political Scene" to them is a fool. Chris Matthews is a tool. If you don't think so, have a look at the latest post about him at Crooks & Liars.

I sometimes wonder why Jane and the gang over at FireDogLake are always criticizing Chris Matthews, Norah O'Donnell and Tim Russert as journalists. Don't they get that they're NOT journalists. They're nothing more than High-Profile Lobbyists for General Electric Corporation, the parent company of MSNBC and a company that has literally made BILLIONS under the Bush Regime and stands to lose (read that 'not make') Tens of Billions if the Democrats take over the house and exert some much needed fiscal discipline on our Government.
