Stop watching him for a month.

Then, turn on his show.

You'll be amazed that you ever watched.

I haven't watched her much, but I've caught her in SO many inaccuracies, questions that belied a lack of understanding and currency with the subject, snotty retorts and questions, and other sins.

Still, she's not interrupting people that much, not yelling at people with her own opinions and selected analysis, and just in general not being Tweety. After too many YEARS, I'm just up to here with him.

Hell, if I have to I'll go watch Steve Harvey's Family Feud instead. But NO MORE MATTHEWS.

And if you don't like Burnett, fine. Turn off the TV.

at least she does not try to turn everything in "a joke fest"... she ask questions but something she does not ask the right questions....

........the one that drive me to discomfort is Rachael Madow... I can't stand her trying to make everything into a "sarcastic joke" !!!!! Its such a disgrace when one is talking about information that concerns the American people, our system and our governance. She generally has "good information",... but her "joke a minute delivery mentality" is a great detractor to the content that she has to present.

I don't know where they got the idea that "laughing and trying to make everything a sarcastic pun"... but it surely is a discredit to Journalism and Takes Away From the content data that she has.

All of them "spin the same story" hour after hour, rather than learn to have each segment provider, with a clear focus on category and perspective.
