[See NewsBusters for more.] During live coverage of the New Hampshire election returns, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Tuesday bizarrely asserted that socialist Bernie Sanders comes across as “non-ideological.” The Hardball host blurted, “Bernie is so much better in the room with 200 people than on TV. He's too effusive on TV. He’s too hot. But in the room, he's logical and non-ideological.”  Non-ideological? Matthews repeated, “He seems like a logical guy.” This is the same guy who, on July 1, 2015, referred to Hillary Clinton as a “conservative” Democrat.
