“CHRIS MATTHEWS looked at you like you were Grover Norquist,” a very senior Democratic operative commented on my appearance at Matthews’ weekend show. During the segment where Matthews asks his panel to tell them something he doesn’t know, I predicted a breakout this week into mainstream media of the controversy surrounding Eason Jordan’s statements about the U.S. military “targeting” journalists in Iraq made at Davos on January 27. My friend meant to convey that Matthews thought I shared with Grover a “not to be trusted,” hostile disposition towards big media. In fact, all I had was a habit of reading the blogs.
