Chris Matthews
Christopher John Matthews is the liberal Democrat host of the talk show Hardball with Chris Matthews. He has worked for four Democratic politicians. He was a speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter and wrote Carter's infamous "malaise" speech. Despite his claim that he voted for George W. Bush in 2000, like most hosts and journalists on MSNBC he is a vocal opponent of the Republican Party and was vehemently opposed to the Bush Administration in particular throughout George W. Bush's presidency.
His on-going random attacks on Fox News Channel pundit Bill O'Reilly have raised eyebrows in the broadcast community because they are interlaced into his broadcasts without context or explanation.
Matthews has also won a series of awards ranging from the David Brinkley Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism to the Gold Medal Award from the Pennsylvania Society.
Chris Matthews is well known as a strident supporter and follower of Barack Obama. There are only two known, documented occasions where Matthews has criticized Obama: once, when the President announced a troop increase in Afghanistan at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and another time when he tells Obama to "Get rid of that damn teleprompter."[1] Such bias and outlandish hypocrisy is typical of leftists of his generation; possessing an antipathy towards the U.S. military, Matthews was critical of President Obama for choosing to speak at West Point, referring to the academy as "the enemy camp."
