Media Bias: Chris Matthews

"CHRIS MATTHEWS: I want to do everything I can to make this thing work … this new presidency work.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Is that your job?
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah that's my job.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Your job as a journalist is to make this presidency work?
CHRIS MATTHEWS: To make this work successfully, because this country needs a successful presidency more than anything right now.
[...]
CHRIS MATTHEWS: How can you not route for the success of the new president?
JOE SCARBOROUGH: As Americans, Chris Matthews, we're all rooting for the success of Barack Obama … But you just talked about being a journalist and your job as a journalist is not to question motives, and then two seconds later you said your job is to make this presidency a success … I just think that's curious."
