Chris Matthews on MSNBC just (10.15pm 02.11.2020) He is UNWATCHABLE

He trips over his spittle flecked flapping tongue. Talking WAY too fast and WAY too loud. Klobuchar became "Robuchar". Lost his way a few times.

Good lord, when will they decide he's hurting their image and needs to retire?

Easy enough to "Woops, we lost our feed!" just in case he acted like he did the other night. That was epic.

These posts really puzzle me.

The ones about him, the ones about Morning Joe, even worse, the ones about Fox...people watch them just to complain I guess.

Usually a post that goes something like “FUCK FOX, fuckity fuck fuck fuck Fox!” And on and on and on ad nauseum.

Never quite got the point of those posts, but they amusing in a sort of nutso way lol.

What, three posts in this thread saying the same thing?

Consider this, and consider the OP, which cities day and time:

Imagine someone - you, maybe - watching your favorite show with your favorite host. Lots of good discussion about a news event - like a primary - and you're really paying attention.

Then, in the context of that show, they cut to some annoying personality - let's say Chris Matthews - and he does 90 seconds of off the hook gibberish.

Would you change the channel? And then change back. And if you see him still there, change the channel again. And then change back, hoping he's gone?

But you go ahead, post three times with the same thing. Do I hide my thread because you're still posting?

Probably not.

And as to simply posting about it, this is a DISCUSSION BOARD and that's what I felt like discussing.

You DO know there is a way you can avoid such discussion, right? Or you can do what you accuse me of doing.

Have a swell day.

I rarely hear the orange idiot’s voice because of my use of that handy button, no matter what channel I watch.

That way you don’t have to change channels....just hit mute. Really easy.

Chuck Todd doesn't have that excuse---he's just out of his depth, flailing in the water.

MSNBC needs to replace these two talking heads, give their time slots to competent, entertaining people, and make everybody happy.

Unbelievably stupid and rude.

A major problem he has, additionally, is bullying any guest he doesn't want to be heard clearly.

I've seen him unleashing pure hostility upon guests from time to time which absolutely stuns them and kills the spirit of communication altogether. The way he attacked Dennis Kucinich over the fact he had changed his position over abortion to being supportive long ago relentlessly, was shockingly painful to watch.

Never could forget it. Rep. Kucinich remained decent throughout it.

He shows a living example of someone given more power than he can be trusted to deal with.

He's too stupid, too self-centered to be able to change. Very much like a version of Trump.

Thank you for your post, STC. Here's hoping somehow he will be replaced more quickly than we expected.
