They never get to finish a sentence because he constantly interrupts them.

He obviously draws some kind of audience MSNBC wants. Not my cup of tea, as he’s a dope, but he’s essentially harmless.

has the manners of a pig. I know about pigs -- as a boy, I had the job of slopping the pigs. Rather than let me pour the slop into their trough, they tried to knock the bucket out of my hands and cause the contents to spill on the ground. That is kinda like Chris handles his guests. He sets up their delivery, and before they can do it, he tries to spill it onto the ground. Frustrating to watch and listen to it.

He has horrifyingly loud aggressive run-on sentences that he poses as questions and repeats himself incessantly.

with his inane, ill-informed bullshit.

He epitomizes the style of punditry and pontification that MSNBC should be leaving behind.

Matthews asks run-on questions, most of the time poorly phrased, then pre-empts his guests by answering them himself. Ari has more interesting content in one segment than Matthews does in an hour. By far.

When he isn't interrupting his guests, or flogging his latest book, he's stumbling over words and names more than ever. He needs to be replaced.
