Would, "MSNBC Host, And Rush Limbaugh Stand-In, Chris Matthews, Compares Bernie Sanders' Nevada Win To Guys Who Invaded France In 1940" meet with your approval?
How are people defending this? It was never appropriate to make the nazi comparison whatever the intent. It doesn't matter if he was directly comparing sanders to the nazis or not.
Matthews is pretty much a moderate Republican. ..... Just going to leave it at that. I don't care if people tear into him for this.
To be honest that's the same thought I had about the moderate Dems. I wouldn't be surprised if some thought that at all.
Just like I wasn't shocked when Dems didn't come out and back Obama after ACA passed and instead handed a lot of power over to the GOP.

Bloomberg is Jewish as well. He's no threat to the the establishment though, so you won't see it mentioned unless it's to say how completely monumental it would be if he were to become the first Jewish president.
I swear Matthews is taking big swigs from a bottle of Jack, staring at that MAGA hat peeking out from inside of his desk drawer, wondering how much longer he can hold back before he has to put that shit on.
These political hack news networks stopped being about informing the public and started being about appeasing their corporate ownership and advertisers. That's who their real audience is.
It's far past time he was put out to pasture. Hi interview style remains one of the most irritating out there.
Anyone who doesn't submit to the will of the rich and powerful is apparently a 'Nazi' in their eyes. When they crumble into ashes like this, you know you've bumped into the power structures that be. This is when you don't ever let up and deliver the crushing knockout blow.
This.These past few years have really exposed the rich as the evil manipulating game-fixing hacks that they really are. Their divide and conquer tactics are really transparent at this point. The inflection point for me was Rutger Bregman's tirade at Davos about the rich always weaseling out of paying their taxes and instead changing the topic with token philanthropy....immediately followed by a Yahoo! Exec in the crowd committing that exact non-sequitur almost as if on cue as a response to Rutger's criticism, even going so far as to praise Trump while claiming to be a liberal and exposing himself for what he really is in the process.

I'm not sure why people are pulling the "he didn't literally say" card as though subtext and implication have suddenly become foreign concepts. We talk all the time about dogwhistle rhetoric and this is no different. People don't have to literally say what they really mean to spread gross opinions and ideas. As people have already mentioned, the context and choice of this statement from Matthews speaks volumes on its own and doesn't require Matthews actually calling Bernie a Nazi.
It's possible that sentence didn't end with 'isnt so bad' and that by excluding the rest of it some might say you are reframing my statement to be more easily objected to.
Also sure the, as you describe, moderate dem who had and vocalized this thought could be just supposing the possibility that other moderate dems might think this way. I'm aware you're a good faith poster but this is an amazing amount of charity you're extending to Matthews.
Can't help but be a bit disappointed that it's MSNBC clearly shaking in their boots having A Moment while CNN is just continuing to chug itself along.
But then I guess that's the benefit of CNN's eternal fence-sitting: when you never have to claim a stake in the game, you never have to lose.
Yep, words have meaning. And we all take subconscious cues from them so to say this is meaningless is a joke.
Chris Matthews called Nina Turner.....Tina Turner lol
Central Park has Chris shook.
True though it was happening even before Bloomberg came in to waste everyone's time.
Maybe nobody wants to celebrate a massive racist getting to this office yet again.
If Sanders takes the presidency, you can expect this all over the country:
They're supposed to be fence sitters.
They're a news outlet.
You expect them to push 1-sided agendas like Fox or MSNBC?
Technically, none of these news channels should be pushing agendas. They should be reporting Facts and moving on.
Instead we get horrible shit like Hannity and Carlson and Matthews caping for Trump or the DNC die-hards.
This is my hangup with Chris right. Since I dropped cable I haven't been watching his show as much as I used to but he was always specific with his references so I agree he is comparing Sanders with fascists. What I want to know is if he ever expressed similar sentiments about Trump...
Well let's not let them completely off the hook. CNN also has an endless stream of shithead never Trumpers, Trump Republicans, and most recently Andrew Yang on to more subtlely (not all that subtle) do the same thing MSNBC is doing.
They're just not stupid enough to go full "I'm going to be executed in Central Park" quite yet.
But will the next public figure be part of MSNBC or not? Fuck, even Clinton when she gets really petty hasn't done this.
Pretty much. It's not even the first time in the last two weeks. MSNBC is a shit show right now. Even CNN laughed at them for having meltdowns.
Ideally this is all correct, but it isn't an ideal attained with these major 24-hour news channels that need a constant stream of talking heads analyzing and debating every point that drops on a desk. CNN and MSNBC are not these neutral arbiters of information, they do have their biases, and CNN's bias is towards a "both sides" centrism that values a sense of absolute fair play regardless of how fair that play actually is. This is the dreaded "fence-sitting" that they get so much shit for.
Because ideally, yes, these new stations should just be pure neutral unadulterated journalistic news.
Continuing on above, the thing with MSNBC is that it tries to straddle between being a Democratic alternative to Fox News and keeping the same centrist mentality as CNN. So they get more talk show-y with the likes of Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough in a way that CNN doesn't really like to do.
Like, say what you will on Wolf Blitzer I can't see him ever putting his feet in his mouth this dramatically.
When CNN is the voice of reason in regards to Bernie, comparatively, you know you're off the deep end
