Different worlds?

Pennywit says that the Matthews/Malkin fight reveals that conservatives and liberals live on different worlds:

Conservatives seem to think the treatment reflects poorly on Chris Matthews. Liberals seem to think the incident reflects poorly on Malkin.

The problem with the interview, and with what I have seen of Matthews treatment of the story, is that it is pretty obvious that Matthews really doesn't give a damn what the facts of the Swiftvets allegations are. In his interviews of both Thurlow and Malkin, and his treatment of John O'Neill, he has not given any of them a chance to lay out their allegations in a cogent manner, constantly interrupting them mid-sentence, and aping the absolute worst characteristics of Bill O'Reilley(whom I can't stand 80% of the time). That was what happened with Malkin. Many of the liberal bloggers are focusing on the "Did Kerry Shoot Himself?" canard. The biggest problem with this is that Malkin never said Kerry shot himself on purpose. Malkin repeated, multiple times, that the wound was self-inflicted according to the witnesses who were quoted in the book, and names two of them on the show.

And things brings up the most important point about why Chris Matthews is incompetent: He has never read Unfit For Duty. I can't believe that he hasn't received an advance copy, or hasn't been able to get one through back-channel means. Here is the money quote from Michele's website:

As the show broke for commercials, Matthews scrambled for his producers to see if what he said was true. And I'm irresponsible? One staffer ran to the office where I had left my copy of the book, and handed it to Matthews, who--for the first time, apparently--started flipping through it. I asked for my book back and politely said thank you. After I left, he trashed me again on the air and his scurrilous charges were repeated by his MSNBC colleague Keith Olbermann, who called me an "idiot."

Matthews has had at least two full shows worth of material on the Swiftvets allegations, and he hasn't read the book that outlines them, and this makes him a hero of the left? If anyone at Hardball or MSNBC had taken the trouble to properly investigate the charges, then I might be able to understand why lefty bloggers think Matthews did a great job. But he didn't, and it is obvious that he didn't(else why would he need to use Michele Malkin's copy of the book?)

And that is why the Swiftvets story hasn't gone away. Because, when it is all boiled down to its essence, there has been no serious effort to refute the actual charges made by the vets. Ad hominem attacks? Yes. Impugning of motives? Sure. But out and out rebuttal data? Slim and none.
