Liberals kneecap Chris Matthews, force anchor to reshoot entire show due to lack of liberal bias

Not that anyone watches Chris Matthews anymore, but the 7 people who still do may have noticed that his 7:00pm show Hardball, which is a rebroadcast of the original at 5:00pm, was totally different. Why? It was reshot. Totally. Apparently, the 5:00 show was lacking in liberal bias, as Matthews, based on the clear evidence in the Sherrod video, actually defended Andrew Breitbart. Here's the exchange on the Sherrod controversy during the 5:00pm show:

After the 5:00 show, his liberal masters apparently got a hold of Matthews and kneecapped him, forcing a total reshoot of the show. The shakedown went something like this:

From Big Government via Instapundit: Who Got to Chris Matthews?: ‘Hardball’ Defense of Breitbart Memory-Holed

Well, obviously this couldn’t have sat well with the left-wing Journolistas who are now in full Destroy Breitbart mode and therefore in no mood for independent thinkers not fully on board with today’s talking points.

So rather than accept the fact that a fully informed Matthews was still intellectually honest enough to make the point that the rest of the MSM is willfully ignoring — that Ms. Sherrod’s redemptive revelation was not cut from the excerpted video — something inexplicable happened between the 5pm and 7pm broadcast, and it’s not crazy to speculate that this something was probably a whole lot of angry phone calls, a flood of scathing emails, and a producer meeting or two that included any and all variations of the word apostate.

An international story that’s grabbed thousands of headlines over the last week, and Matthews did a 180… between shows? Someone got to him. The MSNBC Thought Police? The JournoList Thought Police? (Did I just repeat myself?)

What else could it have been? Something happened. Something so effectively transforming that it spun Matthews completely around enough that sometime before the 7pm “Hardball” rerun was set to air, he magically decided he wanted a redo. And so for what might have been the first time in the show’s history, Matthews re-taped an entirely new program for the 7pm hour — a program that would allow him to make up for his short but near fatal bout of intellectual honesty and put him safely back in line and on the record with his left-wing pals. See for yourself…

Remember, the video above represents Matthews’ 5pm opinion of the Sherrod excerpt Breitbart posted. The video below represents Matthews’ 7pm opinion of that very same excerpt:

Classic liberal media bias. Just classic. This wasn't in the span of 'a couple of hours' and Big Gov said. At least I don't think so. If the 5pm show is shot live, then it was less than an hour that Matthews was turned. More at the link.
