Shocker: ‘Chicago Med’ Doesn’t Succumb to Stereotype of Bitter War Vet

Despite a completely gratuitous shower scene in the opening of NBC’s Chicago Med episode “Clarity,” the story includes a nice (and rare) touch for network television – a nod to a patriotic American proud of his service to his country despite his own personal struggles.

Matthews: Scalia Had 'Good Soul' But Retrograde Ideology

The late Antonin Scalia was a "good soul" personally but had a backwards, outdated "ideology," Chris Matthews asserted on his February 16 Hardball program.
