This week he released a book about former president John F. Kennedy, Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero. However a sharp eyed reader left the following review detailing some glaring errors in Matthews’s work:
“This may sound like nit-picking, but the book has some annoying errors that a more careful writer and/or editor would have avoided. Matthews calls the President's younger brother Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy. His actual name was Robert Francis Kennedy. He says Senator Joe McCarthy died in 1956, when it was actually May, 1957. He also says JFK was chosen as America's 34th President, when almost everybody knows he was the 35th.
Errors like these make a reader wonder what else Matthews might have gotten wrong.”
I don’t wonder at all because Chris commits errors on a nightly basis on MSNBC.
Do you see the glaring double standard? Despite the fact the JFK was a serial womanizer, his dalliances are “romantic” in the words of Matthews. Liberals without shameless whitewash the people they love and explain away their human flaws.
But, with Republicans it’s total destruction even though the offenses are far less severe or non-existent. And they wonder why GOP voters don’t give a wit about working together with Democrats. How can you work with a bunch of arrogant liars and cutthroat histological revisionists?
