Matthews has a national audience of some 330,000. Is this the best the media can do? Matthews is a joke that someone ought to pull the plug on. They won't, of course, because he can be relied upon to trash the opposition and provide pull quotes for media attacks on anyone they disagree with. Michele Malkin on the interview.
A few hours before the show, a producer calls to tell me I will be on for two segments--the first topic will be the Swift Boat Veterans, the second topic will be related to the book. Fine. This is the news business. I understand the need to go with the flow and cover the hot issues of the day. I am prepared to discuss both topics.
Guess which segment they cancelled? Be sure to read Willie Brown's comments and Michelle's fantastic response. Gutsy lady.
