Chris Matthews, MSNBC kick off prime time coverage with explosive Bridgegate report

Lincoln Chafee’s declared interest in running for president really had a lock on being least interesting story of the day by far, but MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is full of surprises. We would never have guessed that even Matthews would kick off tonight’s prime time coverage by reporting on possible Bridgegate indictments.

.@Alyssafarah @JohnEkdahl At this point, I assume "Bridgegate" refers to Vox's understanding of Mideast geography.

@Alyssafarah @JonahNRO Maybe they should be known as the 'ReNews' channel.

@Alyssafarah @JonahNRO They let CNN win over their more moderate left viewers. Change is coming. This is not $ sustainable.

@Alyssafarah @JonahNRO I think even the New Jerseyans forgot about this. Can somebody put a quarter in CM's awareness meter please?

@Alyssafarah huh? I keep forgetting that #msnbc is actually still broadcasting. Who is the guy with the wet pant leg?

@Alyssafarah @JohnEkdahl I hear their next story will be analyzing the Rathergate documents and how they're "fake but accurate"
