During Morning Joe's opening segment today, Joe Scarborough, in an apparent allusion to the ambitions Chris Matthews has expressed, facetiously wondered whether the panel should start calling the Hardball host "Senator."
But just a bit later, Scarborough seized on a question Matthews posed to John McCain yesterday to illustrate a classic bit of MSM bias: the way the liberal media only speak of a "litmus test" when it comes to Republicans choosing pro-life nominees, never in regard to Dems picking pro-choicers.

MSM litmus-test double-standard ping to Today show list.
Finally! Hooray Joe! The machinations of propagandists. It’s how THEY CONTROL the debate. Thanks for the ping, Mark.
My pleasure, PG. Even Mika couldn’t say much, despite her claim to know some pro-life people in MSM power!
Great segment. Thanks.
I watch MJ on my quest to hear Mika say something intelligent. It has not yet happened.
Articulate TV journalism, MSM style.
She had to begrudgingly agree.
bttt
LOL. I'm convinced she, as well as Geraldo Rivera, is either related to someone high in command at both MSNBC and Foxnews or is holding a dirty little secret over their heads. There's positively no other explanation for their hogging valuable air time.
Every now and then Scarborough says something intelligent. Unfortunately, I never hear it because I’ve stopped watching.
Scarborough is right, but he is clearly biting the hand that feeds him.
Sometimes Matthews sounds liek he’s running for VP.

“Sometimes Matthews sounds like he’s running for VP.”
He really has pretty much announced that he’s running for Senator from Pa:
