There are rumors that Chris Matthews will replaced by Brian Williams. ... spin Mar 2019 #11

Consider the sources.... HipChick Mar 2019 #16

His ratings in key demographic have been topped by CNN this past year. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #27

I've wondered if podcasts factored in. I usually have dinner/family time then. When I do watch, dewsgirl Mar 2019 #39

I've read that podcasts and maybe streaming don't factor in. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #40

I stream as well, I thought I read once that it is factored in. It is sad to see them go. dewsgirl Mar 2019 #41

I for one wish Mathews would extend his vacation stay. I prefer Steve Kornacki's hosting FailureToCommunicate Mar 2019 #23

Matthews' interruptions are irritating but so are Kornacki's ubiquitous statistics and charts. Towlie Mar 2019 #24

Like in the movie American President.... Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #28

Great movie! FailureToCommunicate Mar 2019 #37

Dan Rather... Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #33

Here are all the facts. Grasswire2 Mar 2019 #34
