More proof of what we've all been aware of for ages now - Chris Matthews has lost ALL credibility as a journalist. He needs to hang up his hat and move on.
For an interesting viewpoint on Barack and this Presidency everyone please go read Shelby Steele's op-ed piece in the LA Times. And for those of you who don't know this - Mr. Steele is himself a black man who was raised in a bi-racial family.

In response to Joe S., Chris Matthews is promoting our countrys success. Joe is the familiar rhetoric of the last eight years.

AM Joe has become more Acidic than FOX. I knew something was wrong when Mr. Scarborough passed Fox in the Obama detestation race. Barley able to contain his abhorrence for our new President Elect. He systematically dissects every step of Obama without giving him any support. The divisive Karl Rovian tactics will not dig us out of this great hole we are ALL in. So Mr. Joe
take a deep breath and try to crawl above your base instincts. Do something productive rather than destructive.

If not I might as well be watching Fox. They have mastered the art of hate.

Depends which Joe wakes up in the morning. Some days he is pleasant other days he is pissed-off, just ask Mika

Was it MSNBC's intention to find the two most liberal, unlikeable, smug blowhards and give them as much airtime as possible. Where else would Olbermann and Matthews even have a job?

"Where else would Olbermann and Matthews even have a job"

Pravda.

His prior "job" was to make sure Hillary Clinton did not win the primary by unfairly attacking her every move and applying a motive to EVERYTHING she said/did/wore.

Matthews is a pathetic clown and Olbermann is even worse.

Well, in 2 years Chris matthews will beat arlen for PA senator. Start sending your donations today!

CAWren - "Chris Matthews is promoting our countrys success." HUHHHH!!!! since when is it a journalists job to attempt to influence the outcome of a story they are reporting on. That is so far beyond conflict of interest and lack of objectivity its frightening!

If it is important to support the president why did he and the rest of the media demonize Bush. They are phonies. I think Barrack should not get support on bad policies which he is sure to have.

BS

Let's not forget who we are dealing with here folks. When it comes to the cowardly lying carnival clown Olbermann and the panty waist leg tingling court jester Matthews we are dealing with left of left. For the last two years their job (goal in life) has been to say or do anyting to help Obama get elected. They had no use for facts or anything resembling the truth. They hijacked the entire network at MSNBC, except for Scarborough abd Buchannan, to aid and abet their cause. These jokers aren't journalists nor have they ever been. They are a disgrace to themselves, America, and to the once proud and honorable network of NBC.

The media in this country is a joke. News shows have turned into a media ratings game. The old time pioneers in that industry must be turning over in thier graves. I voted for Obama because I had to (the lesser of two evils)But it really scares me when the media refuses to report or investigate candidates because they are backing them. We have elected a man who we know nothing about has really not even performed well as a Senator and part of the reason is the media on the whole failed the American people. Yes, we were sick of Bush and it was time for a change but the media's behavior was despicable on both sides of the aisle. There are going to be alot of disappointed people in a few years because noone is going to be very effective with all the despicable people in the house and Senate. Until we bounce them ALL OUT and let them know they are going because of the way they conduct BUSINESS AS USUAL not because of thier political party. Remember they count on us be stupid don't think for one second they respect us. GOD HELP US.
