We're all just too stupid to know what we should be watching. Right, Chris?

“It could be that Matthews got a little hot under the collar because his left-leaning network has been losing viewers.”

Did Fox loose your resume again Chris?

As for his essay on Kennedy, Matthews says the glossy mag approached him to write it. The theme of his piece is how the legendary lawmaker triumphed over tragedy

Or other people's tragedy, as the case may be.

My hunch is they’ve discovered in their research that the commentators on that network have begun to cut into the independents and that they’re worried that some independents are listening to those voices and believing them,” Matthews opined.

Hmm...independents are no longer believing the lies and drinking the Kool-aid?

MSNBC is run the same way that all the liberal media is run, such as the NYT. It doesn’t matter whether or not anyone watches or reads their product. Ideology trumps ratings. They know that they can always get a government bailout as long as a socialist is in office. The only audience that matters to them is Chairman BHO.

Listening to Chris is like nails on a chalk board, I could ring his neck if I could reach it.

Lot’s of truth to your post. Your talking about the lowest rated host on one of the lowest rated networks.

There’s no way Chris will say anything against his employer. His job there is on life support as it is.

"Let’s just drop all the conversation about my network"

The guy does an interview and doesn't want to talk about his work? BWWHAHAHAHAHA. What else is there to talk about regarding Matthews?

There was a time I had a lot of respect for Chris Matthews. He was liberal but fair...and not even all that liberal. He was a pretty strong defender of Rush Limbaugh and even hosted Limbaugh’s show once! Somewhere he sold his soul.

I’m reminded of Glen Beck’s little lapdog named “Press”.

Beck: “Isn’t that cute? He just said, ‘Let’s play hardball.”

LOL. Kennedy overcoming adversity???

Reminds me of the Menendez brothers. Murdered both their parents with a shotgun and then asked for leniency because they were orphans.

I hope he consults a physician for erections lasting longer than four hours.

Many years ago I actually liked the guy, I thought he asked questions that really challenged his guest. In the last few
years he has become intellectually lazy, and he just takes a bunch of cheap shots for a little laugh.

He only asked questions that “challenged” Conservatives. Otherwise, he has ALWAYS pandered to and protected the Left.

We must assume your former philosophy as being that. Being a moderate on this forum is not healthy newbie.

He has been on the tube a long time. I as most people was swayed by the liberal persuasion until I had to start paying my own way many years ago. Are you any different?
