Chris Matthews interviewed his daughter last week on MSNBC.
He just didn’t want you to know it.
As the L.A. Times’ Andrew Malcolm writes in “Top of the Ticket,” “Matthews, the talkative political loudmouth of MSNBC” --
SIDEBAR: Wait a minute: How did Malcolm distinguish Matthews as ”the” talkative political loudmouth of MSNBC? I can think of at least two other well-deserving candidates. END SIDEBAR
-- “who has a thing for college campuses, was at the University of Mississippi in Oxford for the first presidential debate between Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama.”
Malcolm continues:
The TV host found an eager group of professed nonpartisan college students in prison suits called CYA (No, not that one)—Concerned Youth of America.
So he interviewed several and they all seemed to agree with Matthews about this horrible looming federal deficit thing; see the deficit would “sentence” their generation to pay it off, just like being in prison except without all the murders, beatings and other institutional mayhem. Hence, the symbolic striped costumes.
Anyway, one of the students, an obviously bright young woman and apparent group leader, was very talkative and very assertive, just like her interviewer.
Hmm ... talkative and assertive? See the family resemblance?
Note at the end of the clip that Matthews gestures back to her and says, “Her name is Caroline.”
Aww. Daddy is proud of his girl!!
Just not enough, apparently, to identify her as his own.
Media Bistro reports that an anonymous tipster (see how ubiquitious they’ve become?) told FishbowlDC that “Matthews, at the asking of his daughter, instructed the producers not to name her.”
OK. So now MSNBC producers are taking their marching orders from a college student in a prison costume.
Check out this latest in a long (and getting longer) list of journalistic no-nos from the verbose MSNBC ancho-- I mean, commentator:
