Is it me, or is Chris Matthews being a bit of a dick about Ed?

[Rosco T.]

Listening yesterday, the hosts were all "Yay, Ed's coming back to weekdays"

Chris "we will be on EXCLUSIVELY at 7pm eastern, follow us there". Not a word about Ed.

Dick much?

[VanillaRhapsody]

1. I thought so too...but I thought it was just me...

[Boom Sound 416]

2. He's upset about not getting a taped re-broadcast

[DJ13]

3. Matthews was paid for the reruns everyday, wasnt he?

I think thats how the TV biz works, so it could mean a pay cut.

[MrScorpio]

5. He gets the rerun later in the evening and his unrelated Sunday show

He's still getting paid.

It's pure pettiness. And yes, I saw his announcement and felt the same as others here.

[Rosco T.]

8. They already ended his Sunday show

a couple weeks ago.

[MrScorpio]

15. Thanks, I did not know that

Well looks like there's going to be some belt tightening in the Matthew's household.

[JI7]

4. he has always been like that, he would always get into it with Olbermann also

thinking he was getting into his space.

[Warpy]

6. I'm sure his nose is put out of joint by this

because it feels like a demotion and maybe it is. However, he's still got the better time slot for most people out west.

I won't be tuning in but that's because I never do.

[Politicalboi]

7. Yes, He was being a dick

He didn't even want to mention Ed's name. How much money does he need? He and Gregory probably make the most, and MSNBC would be wise to let those 2 go.

[CTyankee]

14. Plus, at his age and with his diabetes he maybe should think about retiring and playing golf or

something...just a thought...

[burnodo]

9. a bit of a dick in general

[LearningCurve]

10. My answer was "Yes" and all I read was

"Is Chris Matthews being a dick?"

[tallahasseedem]

11. I didn't see it...

but I was wondering how he was going to handle it. I never thought his show deserved two slots anyway.

Having said that, I can't wait for Big Eddie to come back! My MSNBC watching plummeted after they took him off.

[Nite Owl]

12. Aww I missed it

Acutally I never watch since he and Joy Ann Reid laughed at the CPI.Guess it's really funny to watch seniors hurting. I was really surprised about Joy's reaction.

[Rosco T.]

13. he's on the repeat now, tune in it's at the halfway point and end n/m

[Raine]

16. I think he's just worried about losing ratings and wants to remind people

about this show, I don't see him being a jerk about it at all.

[Shankapotomus]

17. Maybe he didn't want to call attention

to all the show shuffling MSNBC is doing?
