Joe Scarborough Engages In Revisionism On His Criticism Of DHS Report

http://mediamatters.org/research/200906120012
Referring to a DHS report on "rightwing extremists," Joe Scarborough stated that "what upset most of us ... was the fact not that they were targeting right-wingers, it's that they were targeting veterans." In fact, when the report was made public, Scarborough not only criticized it for what he said was its "targeting veterans," but also stated that "they're going after conservatives first."

He is moderate in the sense that he is moderate in his use of facts and reason, he is sucking this image of being "neutral and moderate" he is just a fuckin self serving bullshitter though

Joe Scarborough probably is the most neutral and balanced Republican I know in the media and I have seen him criticizing both the parties.Hell he even wrote a book explaining where GOP is wrong and how they should change to win back the seats and here he is criticized for being biased.I dont think this is any unbiased video either. Partisanship is bad and mediamatters4america looks very much against GOP.
