Chris Matthews blasted Fox News Tuesday over its coverage of the health care reform bill (http://www.mediaite.com/online/chris-matthews-unlike-msnbc-and-cnn-theres-absolutely-no-debate-on-fox-news/">h/t Mediaite).

In discussing a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll with Chuck Todd, Matthews compared MSNBC and CNN to Fox News, which he said offers "absolutely no debate."

"If you listen to this network, there is a lot of debate on MSNBC about this health care bill," Matthews said. "Left vs. center-left, for it or against it, there are all points. Same with CNN. But there is another network, Fox, where there's absolutely no debate. It's just trashed every single thing. Has there ever been a bill in history before the congress where an entire network on television has blasted it every day for more than a year?"

Todd mostly dodged the question.

3. K&R for Tweety...

:thumbsdown: for Chuck Todd... x(

[spicegal]

4. All these broadcast journalists, like Todd, are fearful of going up against the Fascist network.

[trumad]

5. Todd is the biggest tool on the planet.

9. He is one smug a**hole.

Cannot stand that guy. Can barely tolerate Tweety anymore, he's so full of himself.

6. GREAT!!!

More "News" organizations spending time talking about each other as opposed to doing journalism.

I have given up on MSNBC, CNN and never bothered with Faux Noise.

:banghead:

10. If it weren't for

Ed, Dylan, Keith and (especially) Rachel, I'd be right there with ya.

[Sherman A1]

12. I like them all when they actually do the journalism thing

much less when they spend time doing the "Rush this" and "Bill-O that", which any of which is too much for my taste.

11. Agreed

They seem to think they "are" the news, not just the people who are supposed to find and deliver it.

13. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[bondwooley]

14. Thank you for the welcome! It's good to be here!

I'm not sure why I put it off so long!

[Sherman A1]

15. It's overall a good place

sometimes gets a little weird, sometimes a little heated, sometimes a little.......(well, an occasional "step away from the keyboard and talk a walk is a good thing")

but overall a good place.

17. Thanks for the heads up! n/t

7. The Chuck Todd Dodge

Maybe Chucky is negotiating a for a position with the Republican propaganda channel. Anyone in journalism who can't call Pox for its bullshit isn't a journalist.

16. This video is getting freeped on YouTube

Any help with countering the wingnut trolls and rating it up would be appreciated.

18. Why was chuckie dodging? Didn't
