What Makes Chris Matthews' Latest Comments So Sickening

Corporate Media: From Denial to Anger on Sanders?
Jim Naureckas, In These Times

 

[Mr Person]

He seems a little unhinged. I assume this is normal for infotainment.

It seems to be a growing trend.

Matthews is a disgusting creature. He claimed Hillary's success was "all due to" being a "victim of her husband". He claimed it was her husband's abuse that provided a career for her. "You and I know, everyone knows, the only reason she was elected Senator is because people felt sorry for her."

I don't expect one can cross back from that line.

In contrast, Clinton's first public appearance after surgery, Matthews comments, "look at him! He's gorgeous! He's like Lazarus!"

Sounds like a nice guy...

Matthews is a man-loving sexist. Always has been. I dunno if he's gay, but if there's a male left-wing politician nearby, I'd recommend their security up-game. In the blink of an eye, Matthews could be desperately embracing an ankle and chewing on trousers. I'd keep a female Democrat nearby to distract him with rage if needed.

He might be the most two-faced mother****er on TV.

 

[Geoist]

No, Hitler might as well have been a communist for all I’m concerned. His ideology came from the same poison well as communism, and that was modernity

Then why did he kill communists?

 

[Geoist]

Clearly you read the title an moved on. Are you kidding me?

I'm not wasting my time reading that **** and giving it clicks. Make your own arguments. Don't try and pass off other people's writings and act as if you made some profound point.

 

[slick]

With someone as sharp as Maddow on their team, why they still give that idiot airtime on major events is beyond me.

I tuned into Matthews today, he's lost a step or two. They have to put a younger guy in his spot!

Things Get Awkward On MSNBC When Chris Matthews Mistakes Tim Scott For Black Lindsey Graham Opponent | The Daily Caller

MSNBC’s coverage of President Donald Trump’s rally in South Carolina on Friday evening got a little awkward when “Hardball” anchor Chris Matthews
thought Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott was Jamie Harrison, a Democrat running against the other senator from that state, Lindsey Graham.

The exchange between Matthews and Harrison occurred after the two had already spoken several minutes prior. Later, when Matthews saw Scott
standing next to Graham, he mistook the junior South Carolina senator for Graham’s black Democratic opponent.

“Jamie, I see you standing next to the guy you’re gonna beat right there, maybe, maybe maybe, Lindsey Graham,” Matthews quipped.
“That’s Tim Scott, Tim Scott,” a female voice said off-camera.
“Jamie?” Matthews said.
“Who is that?” said the obviously confused MSNBC anchor after another correction.

“That’s Tim Scott,” Harrison said, smiling.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” said Matthews. “Oh, the other senator, Tim Scott. What am I saying? Big mistake. Mistaken identity, sir.
Sorry. Tell me how you’re gonna beat Lindsey. Everybody knows Lindsey.”
Seeming to forgive the mistaken identity, Harrison then proceeded with a campaign pitch against Graham.

The embattled MSNBC anchor only last week faced firing calls for comparing Democratic presidential candidate
Bernie Sanders’ electoral success to France’s defeat to Nazi Germany in World War II.

It's too bad. I remember when "Hardball" was a great program.

Chris Matthews has become just another angry old white guy defending the status quo.

And if I did that, you'd demand a source. Duhhh!

 

[chuckiechan]

Does Chris Matthews think before he goes on these tirades and embarrasses himself in front of the nation? Is he even aware Sanders is Jewish and many of his relatives were killed in concentration camps?

You have to understand Matthews the man. His ultimate dream was to become Obama (or any other president’s) national press secretary. He was denied by Obama, lost out again when Trump won, and knows Bernie is a loser.

He is 74, wealthy, and his whole career has centered around chasing the golden ring. As his chances slipped by, like many of the old guard, he’s taking it out on those who denied him.

Getting disciplined was a knife in the back by his competitors. Quite possibly Rachael Maddow who is someone Bernie might take a look at.

You do know there were some Jews that worked with the Nazis in WW2. Look at today, half the Jewish population in Israel is siding with the liberal party who has included Muslims that hate Jews. Muslims also joined in droves the Nazis in WW2. To think a Jew like Sanders is really religious or cares if some of his family was killed off isn't so far fetched. Sanders is a Socialist. In the development of Socialism, eventually Socialists became Communists which developed Fascism. There's no reason to not think Sanders hates Jews and is either a Communist, Fascist or a bit of both.

 

[Vadinho]

I have never really liked him, he loves to hear himself talk. He interrupts and changes subjects too quickly and usually tries to steer the conversation to a bygone era of illusory bi-partisanship while completely ignoring what has been going on in right wing media since el fatso left Sacramento in the late 80s for syndication. He needs to just go away.

 

[Erod]

Chris Matthews just retired moments ago.

 

[lurchadams]

He's a relic of the past. I've loved to hate him since the W. Bush administration. He's the only pundit I recall burping and farting on live TV. He's one misogynistic comment away from following in the footsteps of Don Imus and Micheal Savage.

Who called it? I called it!!!!

He didn't say anything that bad, it's the new PC way to tear someone down and force them out of a job.

Chris represented the status quo. Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain, or Chris Matthews or the woman.

I think blowing up someone's career over one sideways remark is part of this fascist comment police. People are getting terrified of expressing an opinion due to it.

 

[Vadinho]

My bet is he was on the firing line before those comments. Its time for him to just go.

 

[Vadinho]

First of all, Chris has been a blowhard for a long time. He is a lot like Joe S in that he constantly refers to his past as if that meant something today. His style was very similar to what you heard on the McGloflin (sp?) report for years. Lots of shouting and cross talk punctuated by the host stepping on everyone, making some declarative statement and then changing the subject. He represents an era that needs to go, we don't care what Tip and Ronnie did in the 80s, that was almost 40 years ago Chris. I think he was more of a Republican then a Democrat based upon the older definitions from the 80s and 90s. He never missed a chance to bad mouth a new face on the left or ridicule some new idea. Then he just up and quit on air without telling his staff or producers apparently. That was a classless move on his part.

Are you gonna say whom, or are you just gonna be a coward about insulting people. Name him or them. Butch up.
