1. Did HB use stills or are the screenshots from a tape loop?

FWIW, Matthews has been HIGHLY complimentary of Speaker Pelosi throughout the impeachment process.

I asked about still or tape loop because it's super-easy to make unflattering screenshots from a tape loop.

It's not just Chris Matthews, it seems most of the American news media go out of their way to select unflattering photos whenever they do stories on powerful women of a certain age.

Of course there are plenty of flattering, nice-looking photos of Nancy Pelosi available, but they don't want to use any of those. Oh no! they want to use pics that make her look older, and maybe her hair or make-up aren't so great, because they want her to look as shrewish as possible.

Do they do the same thing to Chump, Pence, Barr or any other men?
Of course not! It's just the powerful women they have to demean.

is less that than he's tries to get a grossly disrupted system to fit traditional rules. When he can't do that he lashes out at the nearest person to blame. It's Nancy's turn.
