Somerby on Matthews

I caught this little nugget in the silly Joan Walsh's interview of the sillier Chris Matthews, but I knew Somerby would take care of it a bit better.

One of the things Somerby has documented frequently is the tendency of the liberal media to do a bit of historical revisionism of their own opinions. In the Salon interview, Matthews argues that the media is "liberal" because it claimed the Gore won a debate when it was clear that Bush had won. Of course, at the time Matthews claimed Gore had won or that it was a tie.


Oy.
