Hello Everyone:

Here is the YouTube video where Chris Matthews definitely seems to be much more interested in expressing his own personal bias against Hillary Clinton's campaign than he is at being an objective news journalist which he is supposed to be (at least in theory):

Chris Matthews: Clinton Press Shop Composed of "Kneecappers"

Chris Matthews on Morning Joe, February 15, 2008 (more)

I was glad to see Howard Kurtz cover this story on CNN Reliable Sources where he asked about Chris Matthews "Is this a case of settling scores?"

A Look at Coverage of Presidential Campaign

Aired February 17, 2008 - 10:00 ET

HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: "All right. Let me flip-flop to the next subject.

And I'm not even going to characterize this. I just want to play what Chris Matthews had to say on MSNBC on Friday morning. He, as many of our viewers know, has had a difficult relationship with Hillary Clinton's campaign. In fact, he had to apologize a few weeks ago for having said that Hillary's political success was basically because her husband fooled around a decade ago.

Let's watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC: What she has to do is get rid of the kneecappers that work for her, these press people whose main job seems to be punishing Obama or going after the press, to building a positive case for her. I just don't think the kneecapping has worked. I think her press relations are lousy.

I think if all you do is intimidate and punish and claim you'll get even relentlessly, people -- all kinds of politicians, and, in full fairness, the press -- human reaction to intimidation is, screw you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KURTZ: Is this a case of settling scores? Of course, MSNBC also had the situation with David Shuster, who was suspended for two weeks, we're now told, for making that "pimped out" remark about Chelsea Clinton.

Is he settling scores there?

AMY HOLMES, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: Oh, I think this is definite payback..."

There is absolutely no question that Chris Matthews has been very biased against Hillary Clinton in this campaign so far which I have credibly and thoroughly documented:

Joe Sestak did a great job of defending Hillary to a very biased Chris Matthews!

Why I think Chris Matthews crossed the line showing his own bias against Hillary

Submitted by Mitch Dworkin on November 5, 2007 - 3:30am.

My conclusion is that because Chris Matthews cannot be objective when he reports about Hillary Clinton, he should recuse himself from commenting on her just like how Keith Olbermann recused himself from interviewing Bush and Rudy Giuliani because of his own personal bias and the conflict of interest that he knew it would cause:

HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: "You've been co-anchoring MSNBC's news coverage on primary nights. Is there a collision of roles between being a neutral anchor and the very opinionated guy we see on "Countdown?"

KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST, "COUNTDOWN": I don't think there's that much of a collision. I think if you're smart enough to know when to do one and do the other, there shouldn't be a problem.

In areas that I thought might be particularly sensitive -- for instance, if for some reason the president of the United States wanted to come on and make a statement during our coverage of the Republican primary, I would step aside for that interview. I would not take advantage of that situation, you know, and shout nasty things about him.

We've had Rudy Giuliani...

KURTZ: You'd get good ratings if you did that.

OLBERMANN: Well, yes, but -- OK, but -- but that, to me, is a secondary point there. There is some personal responsibility. You have to say, no, I don't think I should be here.

More practically, we had Rudy Giuliani on twice, and he was the subject of one of my comments, and I didn't think it was appropriate for me to -- you know, to be part of that interview, so I literally recused myself in each case and let Chris Matthews do the entire interview, which I don't think that hurts anybody. I think it just gives you that -- that little amount of wiggle room that you need in these scenarios..."

Here is the video link to watch Howard Kurtz interviewing Keith Olbermann on CNN Reliable Sources where Olbermann made these comments:

This video is from CNN's Reliable Sources, broadcast January 27, 2008.

I would like to see MSNBC ban Chris Matthews from commenting on Hillary Clinton because he cannot be objective in his reporting, he is probably trying to settle scores as Howard Kurtz suggested, and he is clearly rooting for Obama right now!

In my opinion, it is as much of a conflict of interest for Chris Matthews to be commenting on Hillary Clinton right now who he clearly does not like as it would be for Keith Olbermann to interview Bush or Rudy Giuliani who he clearly does not like!

Please forward this information on so that all people will know that Chris Matthews is definitely biased against Hillary Clinton and that he is NOT credible in his reporting about her. Anything negative that he says about Hillary or anything positive that he says about Barack Obama definitely has to be taken with a grain of salt in my opinion because he is clearly NOT a truly objective reporter or journalist!
