Regarding Chris Matthews
He's really getting on my nerves more than usual lately.

I don't understand why he even invites guests onto his show, he constantly interrupts and talks over the people that are there trying to talk.

Has he always been this way or is it something that has just gotten worse over the past few years?

3. He runs his show and talks like he's running a marathon
It often makes me tired just trying to listen to him

And yeaah, when he invites someone on and then only lets them speak a sentence or two before over-speaking them, I get perturbed at him.

4. I like Chris Mathews...
...but he does tend to get a little long-winded at times. However, those moments when he destroys the right-wingers are special.

10. Yup, lately I've really been liking him.
I LOVE the way he's been taking on the RW crazies and really putting them down. :thumbsup:

6. I agree, every time I've watched him, he was essentially interviewing himself.

7. Tweety will ask a question, then will tell you the answer,
then will ask you what you think of his answer.

8. Chris has been really on fire lately!
I LOVE the way he is going after Huckabee and hitting him hard everyday! :applause: Some guests deserve to be interrupted when they keep on with the same BS talking points. Good on Chris! :thumbsup:

9. He asks the question 3 times, gives his answer,
and then interrupts his guest as soon as they speak up by asking the question again. If they do not agree with his answer he cuts them right off.
Extremely annoying. One would think his producers would have him listen to a segment or two so he could get a grip.

13. I didn't say that I didn't want to watch him, I just wanted to know if he was 'always' like that
Edited on Wed Mar-09-11 06:54 PM by Tx4obama
I've only been watching him for three or so years, so I didn't know what he was like in his earlier days ;)

p.s. I have stopped watching Dylan Ratigan. He nnounced on air that he's a conservative plus it always seems like he's yelling when he is talking - which is strange because I watched him on TYT online awhile back and he was talking normal back then.
