[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC's resident historian Jon Meacham's endorsement of Joe Biden will influence nobody's vote in November, but that didn't stop Andrea Mitchell from giving him the spotlight on Friday to explain why, as a self-proclaimed non-partisan historian, he is doing so.

Meacham, whose non-partisan credentials have led him to say Ronald Reagan hated poor people and the environment, began by claiming nobody knows his or Mitchell's politics, "Well Andrea, we've known each other a long time. I don't know your politics. I don't think you know mine. But every once in a while, a choice presents itself where I believe, for me, ambivalence or neutrality is not an option."
