10:01Now PlayingChris Matthews is known for his show “Hardball.” It’s Orwellian in that it’s the opposite of what it is: softball. A new story by the Intercept shows that he sometimes has people on his show right after they contribute to his wife’s political campaign. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Using Federal Election Commission data and Hardball transcripts,The Intercept has identified 48 frequent guests of Matthews’s program who have made donations to the Kathleen Matthews for Congress campaign. These individuals, their spouses, or their political action committees donated $79,050 as of December 31, 2015 — about 5 percent of the $1.5 million Matthews had raised as of that time.
Some of the guests made the donations after they were on the show — in some cases, long after. But in at least 11 of these cases, the Hardball guests appeared on the program after Kathleen Matthews announced her candidacy, and without any disclosure of the donations. And in at least three of those cases, the donations came within days of the MSNBC appearance.”*
