On his MSNBC show Hardball, Chris Matthews quite easily exposed a New York Times reporter for media bias with one simple question.

Reporter Yamiche Alcindor and nationally syndicated talk show host Hugh Hewitt were discussing the “elite media” and its bias against Donald Trump. Alcindor said, “Because people really do feel when they go and get the news that they are really getting it from these people who have some sort of plan to rig this election, or rig the economy, or don’t want to cover the real issues.”

“When, you know, obviously the media is in some ways covering the news of the day and covering things that we think are important,” she added. “But there are people making value judgments.”

Matthews interjected, “Do you know anybody, Amiche, at The New York Times who is pro-life?”

“That’s not a question I’m going to answer,” the reporter responded. “I have no idea.”

“Do you know anybody?” Matthews continued. “Just, you don’t have to name names. Do you know anybody at the Times who is pro-life?”

“I have not asked my coworkers that question, I should say,” Alcindor said with a laugh.

“Oh, that’s cute,” Matthews said.

Earlier in the segment, Hewitt made the point that well over 90% of Manhattan-Beltway media elites will vote for Hillary Clinton and applaud her election.

“That seeps into coverage,” Hewitt said. “It’s what Dan Rather said, ‘News is where you look.’ Those elites look for news in places other than, for example, the Obamacare premium hikes or the problems at the FBI.”

After getting nowhere with Alcindor with his question, Matthews referenced Hewitt’s earlier statement, saying, “Hugh, you’re making your point.”

Perhaps the first step in recovery for Matthews and the other liberal media elites is admitting that they are part of the problem. However, we won’t hold our breath that Matthews won’t feel another tingle up his leg if election night goes his way.
