Chris Matthews Bashes Vox.com: I Only ‘Deal with the Grown Ups’

MSNBC’s Matthews Disses Colleague Ezra Klein’s Vox: 'Let Me Deal With the Grown Ups' (NewsBusters)

Chris Matthews is apparently no fan of blogs or websites, even when they are run by his comrades at MSNBC.

On the August 8 edition of The Reid Report, guest host Jonathan Capehart welcomed the Hardball host to the program to discuss Iraq. He got a whole lot more than he bargained for. Capehart read an excerpt from a piece appearing on Ezra Klein’s Vox.com, which purports to be in the business of ‘explanatory journalism,’ but acts more as an Obama administration mouthpiece. Klein frequently shows up on MSNBC programs, either as a contributor or a guest host. In responding to the excerpt, Matthews angrily ripped Vox.
