On Tuesday, the crazy train on MSNBC’s Hardball was firing on all cylinders. Host Chris Matthews was in rare form as he compared President Trump to O.J. Simpson and suggested that journalists (especially newspapers) should be automatically believed because, supposedly, no other group of humanity tells the truth better than journalists. 

Less than a minute in, Matthews spouted off with unfortunate wording that Washington D.C. “is a city echoing from a bomb blast” in the form of the President’s campaign being “under criminal investigation for dealing with a foreign adversary” and “condemned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for lying that President Obama had him wiretapped.”
