NBC's Republican shill Chris Matthews tries to label Hillary Clinton "a socialist"

Paid for by proud sponsors like Verizon. Disgusting.

You'd think NBC would be concerned that Chris Matthews not have a conflict of interest now that his brother is running for office in Pennsylvania as a Republican. Perhaps NBC would respond to concerns about why Matthews has grown so sycophantic to the GOP and whether it has any relation to his brother's race. NBC might want to make sure that Chris Matthews wasn't using his position at NBC to further a partisan political race.

But if you thought NBC cared about standards of journalism, you'd be wrong. Hell, their own staff has accepted speaking gigs to brief far-right Republicans on how to use NBC to help the GOP win elections.

Is it any wonder NBC continues to let Chris Matthews shill for Republicans? You really need to read the interview he did today with new House Republican leader John Boehner, where Matthews tries three times to label Mrs. Clinton a "socialist." Then where Matthews praises Boehner's "greatness." Regardless of what one thinks of Boehner, where does a newsman get off telling gushing at someone mid-interview about how great they are?

Heck of a job you're doing, NBC.
