Chris Matthews has his reasons - liberal democratic insider with clear anti-gun views - for running this story, and most off you eat it up. Too funny
matthew's bias in a nut shell:
When Matthews first arrived in Washington, D.C., he worked as an armed officer with the
United States Capitol Police.
[3] Subsequently, he served on the staffs of four Democratic members of Congress, including Senators
Frank Moss and
Edmund Muskie. In 1974, he mounted an unsuccessful campaign for the
Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district seat in the
U.S. House of Representatives, in which he received about 24% of the vote in the primary campaign..
[4] Matthews was a
presidential speechwriter during the
Carter administration. Matthews later worked six years as a top aide to long-time
Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O'Neill, playing a direct role in many key political battles with the Reagan administration.
Matthews was accused of displaying a lack of objectivity in covering Obama's presidential campaign.
[5] On November 6, 2008, after the election, he stated on the MSNBC television program "Morning Joe," that "I want to do everything I can to make this thing work [...] this new Presidency work [...] This is my job".
