Matthews “Oh, God!” Comment Underscores His Bias Even If Its Assessment Was On Point.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews who has almost singlehandedly engineered the cable network’s decline to the bottom of TV ratings said he was surprised by the “peculiar stagecraft” of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s response to President Barack Obama’s speech to Congress, leading him to quietly say “Oh God” as Jindal approached a microphone.
I can’t disagree with the biased Mathews assessment because Jindal appeared in a poorly lighted hallway with jacket flapping looking like a used car salesman. But, Matthews should give up his pretense of an open, fair, unbiased TV commentator – something few believe anyway,
Matthews’ “Oh, God!” comment remark inspired a brief Internet guessing game about who had said it and questions about whether someone at MSNBC was mocking the Republican governor.
Matthews’ barely audible “Oh God” appeared to be a classic case of someone talking on TV without realizing their microphone was on, and potentially embarrassing to a network many Republicans already regard with suspicion because of leftist talk shows by Keith Olbermann, already chastised by his own employer for his prejudiced views and Rachel Maddow who has been accused of bias.
In any case Matthews has made a mumbled, left-handed apology to Jindal who likely couldn’t care less.
Jindal did himself nor the GOP no good Tuesday evening, and frankly damaged himself with a lackluster, poor performance.
