Chris Matthews made an appearance on MSNBC this weekend and blamed the absolutely awful recent poll numbers for Democrats on a lack of fact checking. It’s an absurd claim, but you have to give Matthews some points for effort, I suppose.
What Matthews is really admitting here is that the liberal media no longer holds the influence they did just a few years ago.
Meghan Blonder writes at the Washington Free Beacon:
WATCH: Chris Matthews Says Dems Have 29 Percent Favorability Because ‘Nobody Checks the Facts Anymore’MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews said Monday that the Democratic Party faces record-low favorability “because nobody checks the facts anymore.””What do you make of these numbers for the Democrats?” Morning Joe cohost Mika Brzezinski asked Matthews, pointing to a March 16 CNN poll that found Democrats have a 29 percent favorability rating—a record low.”Well, you could have seen them the night that Trump addressed the Congress. And you watch the Democratic Party, they seemed like they weren’t there. They were sort of vacant. They weren’t saying anything with their manner. They never questioned the facts,” Matthews said Monday. “You have to have a fact checker.””There needs to be a war room,” Matthews continued. “Remember in 1992? Remember how Bill Clinton won that election because he had a war room? He and George Stephanopoulos were down there in Little Rock, and they were checking every fact.””Nobody checks the facts anymore,” he added. “And the lies are getting through to the American people.”
Here’s the clip:
During the same appearance, Matthews lamented the fact that the Gutfeld! show makes fun of Democrats, which I find endlessly hilarious.
Greg Gutfeld offered this response on Twitter/X:
All of the other late night hosts have been making a living off of mocking Trump and Republicans for years, but now Chris Matthews is concerned?
Cry me a river.
