Chris Matthews is a news anchor and a commentator. Did he do it while anchoring or while on another show offering political commentary?
Did his show have an ad from GM. Then his interest in GM would be no secret.
I would have no problem with CM endorsing a product as a commentator when his relationship with that company was no secret.
I would have a problem with hm doing it while presenting the news and if we did not know that his show was paid by GM.
So how do you feel about the fact that about 90% of MSM anchors vote democratic? Should they reveal that fact before presenting news so we can know they are not biased? You would not expect them to stop voting would you? I would not. I would expect that those that hire anchors make some effort to have anchors with biases that are balanced out by anchors with opposite biases. Now which channel does that?
well odly there is a about a 50 50 change they vote for one or the other, so I think most people expect that yes, they do in fact have opinions and vote....however Being paid by a company, is very different, and its Journalism ethics 101.
