Does anyone else think that Chris Matthews is annoying?

[dajoki]

I believe he is doing a terrible job moderating this impeachment proceeding. He's speaking nonsense and interrupting everyone, he must love the sound of his own voice.

[underthematrix]

1. Yes. He helped give us #TraitorTrump

[Zoonart]

2. Endlessly annoying wind sock.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Oh, God, yes! He does love the sound of his own voice,

and constantly interrupts. He'll ask an interviewee for their opinion on something and then jump right in and talk over them, offering his opinion, before they've even finished a sentence. He's always done that, though; this is nothing new.

[FakeNoose]

12. His constant interruptions are his worst habit

I can't understand why anyone would want to be on his show, when he won't let anyone speak or make their point. It's so annoying to us listeners as well.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Tweety missed the reality train

a couple decades ago.

[RockRaven]

5. Does anybody NOT think he's annoying?

I hardly watch any cable news at all, but I *never* watch MSNBC when he's on the air. I cannot stand him.

[Cosmocat]

11. THIS

I watch some MSNBC, but literally have made a point of not watching his shit show going back to like 2003 when could not longer take him.

[Heartstrings]

14. Me, too!

Will wait (to turn MSNBC) on until Chris Hayes is on. Mathews interruptions are annoying!

[Faux pas]

6. For sure!

That's why I never watch him.

[BSdetect]

7. He's an utter pain. Incompetent moderator / host.

[northoftheborder]

8. Yes, he never changes his manner of interviewing and narrating.

A lot of interruption, abrupt change of subject, wandering sentences.....can't watch him.

[dewsgirl]

9. I have conflicted feelings about him, he has been on the

the air since I was teen. I guess I tolerate him, I like him more than Chuck Todd or Steve Kornacki. It makes me feel bad to say that. Maybe because my grandparents used to watch him and I often think of Tim Russert when I watch him, Idk I'm weird I guess.

[oasis]

10. Had to turn Tweety off. I'm watching a CNN panel with Laura Coates

who just took Rick Santorum to school on several issues. She left him sitting silent with a pasty faced look of stupification.

I'm so glad Chris Matthews made me switch channels.

[a kennedy]

13. I really enjoy Nicole Wallace......hope she'll be on this afternoon.....

[bluecollar2]

15. Chris Matthews

Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell...

Hard to decide which one of the three are the most irritating....

So I dont watch any of them but switch over to CNN....

Today I'll be switching back and forth between CSPAN and FS2...Liverpool F.C. vs. Monterrey...

[dajoki]

18. Yes...

and I'll add Kornacki and williams to that list although I'm probably forgetting some.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. A few years past his sell-by date

[Grey]

17. He was interviewing a woman

a few years ago. He asked her a question and then kept on talking. He was about 7 sentences in when he realized she hadn't tried to answer him. He said" well, aren't you going to answer?" She said "I was waiting for you to finish." He shut up and let her talk. The look on his face, So Funny.

[PCIntern]

19. Oh I wish that could be found.

I’d put it on loop...

[empedocles]

20. Chris M has mainstream suupport that we absolutely need.

[gab13by13]

21. I have been annoyed with Tweety

ever since he feuded with Phil Donahue over the Iraq war. Tweety was pro Iraq war while Donahue was strongly against it.
There are people who say that Tweety got Donahue fired from MSNBC in 2003.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. Donahue was awesome the too

Short of the time when he was on air, I watched every episode until he vanished. I say get rid of tweety asshole,reinstall Donahue.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

22. Years ago when I could afford cable

He drove me up the wall,all his gushy love for bush and his sunny disposition it..just made me wanna barf. He is a republican in what he says. He should be fired from MSNBC. He's such an ass.

[USALiberal]

24. people whine about him and Chuck Todd weekly, but still watch them. Weird. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

25. I thought pretty much everyone did.

[marybourg]

26. Nobody's moderating on PBS.

[jberryhill]

27. Unwatchable

[elleng]

28. Utterly 'annoying.'

Didn't hear him, as on the road earlier, tuned into MSNBC after 1.

[ploppy]

29. I had to turn him off.

He talks waaaaaaay too much.

[Upthevibe]

30. You are being very kind and diplomatic

to say he's "annoying." I can barely watch the guy unless I have to. Here on DU (over the years) I think we've referred to him in the past as "Tweety."

[VarryOn]

31. He always has been. Nt

[lindysalsagal]

32. Only if he's on TV, talking, into a live mic

Otherwise, I wouldn't know.

[babydollhead]

33. he keeps with the snide remarks between announcements

I thought about how they will portray him on SNL. His crazy babble talk. Plus, wtf with the R from Kansas?

[Marthe48]

34. He's annoying

He forgets he invites those knowledgeable guests to give us in-depth information. He has the show, we know what he thinks. I heard people call him Tweety. I watch him the least.

I am getting annoyed with some of the others, though, too. Why emphasize that there was some dissent at a Democratic town hall meeting. I read a headline, then read the article, and toward the end, the dissent was described as 'a few people'. Yesterday, Lawrence O'Donnell, of all people, asked a freshman representative about dissent at his town hall. This was after they aired a video showing cheering and a standing ovation when the representative said he was voting for the impeachment to go forward. I watched the tape, and I really didn't hear any booing, but that's what Lawrence asked about.

I have an idea. Have the media go to repuke town halls and see how much booing happens when the enabling repuke says he'll defend trump regardless.

[Mike 03]

35. Matthews isn't my favorite, but I wouldn't put him in the same category as Chuck

Todd. His interruptions are the thing that annoys me the most; however, he actually has a lot of knowledge of political history. I think he is passionate and gets excited about the things he talks about, and that--as opposed to trying to "rush" guests or talk over them if he disagrees--is why he interrupts. But maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

[mjvpi]

36. Oh yes.

He doesn’t listen. He never asks astute follow ups.

[lamp_shade]

37. Not me. Occasional irks aside, IMO he's one of the best... smart and sincere.

I've been a big fan for many, many years.

[Sewa]

38. I don't find him annoying

He has been pushing for Trump’s impeachment since the Mueller Report came out. Sometimes he’s very funny. Like when he said “ Trump thinks Steve Ducy is the new Walter Cronkite.

[Maru Kitteh]

39. Sometimes, and he's not my favorite host, but I don't dislike him. I appreciate

his deep and wide historical knowledge base that he wields in a way that comes off as patriotic rather than professorial. He has a solid, midwestern appeal I think is helpful when making the case to independents and swing-staters we very much need.
