The Organic Chris Matthews
MSNBC's Chris Matthews has apparently forgotten the phrase, "in the interest of full disclosure...". Thursday on his show, Hardball, he was pimping a new HBO series called Newsroom, praising it to the skies, but never mentioning that he is a paid contributor to the program.

"It's the most organic show I've ever watched, it seems to come out of itself every week, it seems to grow like a human being," Matthews enthused. "That's what makes it so unpredictable and so fascinating to people."
"The news host went on to praise the cast, including Emily Mortimer and Jane Fonda, before closing out that they keys to the show are "honesty" and giving audiences "something to take away."
I presume Jane Fonda is playing a war correspondent in Newsroom.
Do you think Chris had a conflict of interest in having Newsroom star Jeff Daniels on his show?
"Chris Matthews, you've got a weak show."
