Rare Wednesday Morning Shoutfest
With the revelation of the identity of "Deep Throat" yesterday, the media feeding frenzy has begun. After a more than thirty year silence, Mark Felt, the second-in-command at the FBI at the time of Watergate, revealed himself to be the source for Woodward and Bernstein stories of that era.

Base10 caught Chris Matthews on the Today show. Matthews, a political shill if ever there was one born, makes Base10 chuckle when he rails about the integrity of big media. Basically he said we should trust the journalists because they are the only ones who give us the truth. All I can say is there's precious little of that commodity on Hardball.

Matthews basically called Pat Buchanan a liar. Buchanan--who by the way is not a Base10 favorite--was critical of Felt and according to Today, suggested that "Deep Throat" could not have known some of the things he claimed to have known. Matthews was completely dismissive of this, suggesting "You have to be able to tell the difference between the firemen and the fire." I thought journalists were supposed to ask questions? What happpened, Chris?
