4. I have a difficult time watching Matthews at times

Wed Jan 9, 2013, 01:16 PM

Jan 2013

When he asks a question, then won't shut up to let the guest answer, it bugs me. It's rude, disrespectful, and not everyone watches his show to listen to him.

Reverend Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O'Donnell are much better interviewers, and their shows are easier to watch.

I've seen Matthews allow guests to get away with lies too often, he doesn't call them out on it at times, while with other guests he does. He's inconsistent at best, and it doesn't surprise me he voted for Bush in 2000.
