The leftist outrage industry bagged a new trophy last week: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. The Soros-funded wing of the Democratic Party took down the rabidly antiwar and anti-Bush talk show host because he dared to tell the truth about the Shadow Party’s anointed presidential candidate. However, the media have ignored the role Hillary Clinton claims to have played in founding one of the main organizations doing the protesting.

Last week, the host of MSNBC’s “Hardball” issued an odd semi-apology for allegedly “sexist” and dismissive comments he made about Hillary Clinton on the network’s early-riser show, The Morning Joe. Matthews told that show’s panel:

[T]he reason she’s a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around. That's how she got to be senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn't win there on her merit.

Apparently aware that truth is an absolute defense, Media Matters, DailyKos, and a coalition of feminist organizations ducked the merits of his criticism and suddenly discovered Chris Matthews’ demeaning treatment of women. Media Matters issued a press release asking, “Does Chris Matthews have a problem with women?” DailyKos dashed off “Chris Matthews’ Greatest Sexist Hits.” In addition to belated detection of his authentic dirty-old-man tendencies, these barbs contain such “sexist” comments as labeling Hillary “shrill” and “grating,” and noting the Republican Party had attempted to portray her as a “she-devil.”

And the leadership of the feminist movement made an attempt at censorship.

Don Imus' former producer said Thursday that the radio exchange that got them both fired was wrong, but that it would be horrible if people could no longer poke fun at each other.

Bernard McGuirk, a 20-year producer and on-air jester for the "Imus in the Morning" program, was fired a week after his boss for the banter in which members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team were called "nappy-headed hos."

Should government ban talk radio?

Ever since the rise of conservative talk radio, liberals have been calling for a restoration of the “Fairness Doctrine” to re-regulate media and silence conservative voices. After talk radio host Don Imus—clearly no conservative—was fired last week for racially-tinged comments, calls to reinstate the Doctrine have grown louder.

When they were in force through the 1980s, Heritage regulation expert James Gattuso explains, these onerous government regulations on television and radio “required broadcasters to air both sides of controversial issues. The Doctrine’s effect was to discourage controversial issue-oriented programming.” In other words, government effectively barred conservative talk radio programs.

“It was not until this rule was repealed in the 1980s that talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh found a place on the radio dial,” Gattuso writes.
