I would like to know just what kind of investments this media whore Matthews has in his portfolio (Halliburton? Arms manufacturers? Oil?)

He sticks his whole head up BushCo's ass all the time and obviously profits obscenely for doing so.

Business commentators have to reveal their personal interest in any stock they are shilling for. I think our infotainment talking heads should be required to do the same. I would like to know how much money any of Tweety's investment are making off the dead in NOLA he skipped around today.

1. Simple...

[DemNoir]

2. You can afford one also!

Just promote the political agenda of GE on national television. They don't even seem to care that nobody watches!

3. There once was a man from Nantucket....

4. Seems quite reasonable for a someone that visible

Im sure he draws a damn nice salary considering how much he's on TV.

I don't care for him much, but its reasonable to assume that he's earning in the high six figures or low 7 figures.

5. GE signed him up to a huge contract through 2009.

Jack Welch started to put a harem together for the fascist agenda in the late 90s.

6. He runs a gay military porn site

hehe

7. How about Rush Limabaugh et al?

They seem to be really profiting a lot for doing radio stints and cable TV. I mean, I don't think there is that kind of money in it ordinarily. Some of these guys are getting some big time payola. Is there any way to get hold of their contracts? This would spell out what they are supposed to be getting on their contracts and how it stacks up to what they are buying.

8. Highly-paid whores can afford nice houses?

Seriously...what kind of response are you looking for?

"He sticks his whole head up BushCo's ass all the time and obviously profits obscenely for doing so."

Explain how you DIDN'T answer your own question.

12. The question is rhetorical

I think there should be disclosure of their investments, because there is a conflict of interest in their reporting.

They profit from their bullshit.

9. his wife makes some bucks,too

she's on local abc-tv in dc.

[Atman]

10. He gives good head

To republicans

[cry baby]

11. Probably our tax dollars...

paying the shill.

13. Write and ask him. Scare him a bit.

Make him think he will be investiagated or something.

14. Do you want to know Hannity's, Rush's or Olberman's?

They are commentators and that's it. Their portfolios have no bearing, IMO. I judge based on what they say.

Now, if the WH was paying them....

Different story and one that shouldn't be ignored.

15. Oh dammit you had to get me started

Yes, that's it in a nutshell. And when Matthews, whom fucking amazingly enough was against the Iraq war but has spent the last two years shilling for Bush-well he knows HIS kid will never have to go to Iraq because it's the only job they can get.UGH. It's just fucking politics to his type and a nice paycheck while people die every day for lies lies lies lies and incompetence that he has aided and abetted with his propaganda guests and white house talking points.

Jail him with Miller!

[Jacobin]

16. He's a well paid prostitute

Its quite simple really. I wish I believed in hell, because he would go to the bottom of it if it existed

[SmokingJacket]

17. I agree. Journalists, even fake ones, shouldn't be profiting

from the corrupt regimes they're whoring for.

Or if they are... we should know about it.
