1. Indeed, he is.

[FrenchieCat]

2. I think he's just a mediawhore.......

He figures his paycheck is secure no matter what.

[AlinPA]

3. Matthews is a loudmouthed slobbering fool.

[bluestateguy]

13. He was convinced that Fred Thompson would win the nomination and the election

[Logical]

4. So we don't like Chris today? I lose track! Is Jon and Moore ok today?

[Solomon]

5. Fail. nobody considers tweety

In that class.

[Logical]

11. No, I see pro and con posts on Chris also. I guess either he is 100% with us or we hate him.

7. Chris told Martin Bashir today that he is a conservative, so Chris is in his own league.

He's a conservative who didn't complain about the 2 wars while Bush was in the White House.
He's really not that hard to figure out.

8. I've never been a Tweety fan

He's shallow, self-centered and wrong far more times than right.

6. Was he really that bad?

I must have missed something?

9. Yet ANOTHER thread...

...with no information content. Thanks.

10. Sorry

There's so much stupid stuff he did tonight, beginning with having that wingnut pundit panel before the debate to claiming that the Tea Party is going to win in 2012 - I lost track.

[Logical]

12. Yes, why in the world does he not only say stuff we agree with???

[blogslut]

15. My problems with Tweety are long lived

He's a bully, a fair-weather progressive and so enthralled with the sound of his own voice that his interviews have no value.

[Logical]

17. I disagree...many times he MAKES people answer questions and not spin. I like that.

[blogslut]

18. Actually,

...what he does is badger his guests with a rapid-fire barrage of pointless questions without giving them an opportunity to answer and then accuses them of avoiding his "inciteful" observations. Every once in a while the guest will blurt out something revealing in frustration and Tweety jumps on it but those instances are few and far between.

[Enthusiast]

21. Tweety sucks. nt

[randome]

14. I know.

I don't mean to sound surly but I use DU to catch up on things so I don't have to watch TV. It's a time-saver.

[FarLeftFist]

16. Tweety voted for Bush.

[Major Hogwash]

19. I think he did.

The first time. I'm not sure about who he voted for in 2004 though.

[lonestarnot]

20. Agree

22. Na. He panders to the right in its resurgency phase like all TV news sluts.

That's so he can have at least some "access", as they call it (get big ugly Republicans to come on his trivial show). Obviously, NBC wants the campaign cash windfall so he pleases his boss, Phil Griffin, by doing it. The worst thing about him is also the worst thing about most of them most of the time: he is willing to enthusiastically do the horse race story 24/7 while fully 18 months in advance of an election, thus acting like there is no other important news, and driving news out of his broadcast. I guess this is what newspapers are for.
