Can we get an "Ignore Posts About Chris Matthews" function here?

[vi5]

Seriously. I'll pay for it if it's a money thing. It seems like given all the stuff going on with the Fitzgerald thing, that reading through the titles of all the posts in "Latest" chronological order go something like this:

"OMG Tweety is lying for Bush again!!!"

"Turn on Matthews. They are hammering Bush"

"How does Tweety lie like he does with a straight face"

"Quick Tweety is hitting Bush hard. Says the administration is collapsing!!!!"

"Matthews is such a Bushwhore!!!"

"The tide is turning! Matthews is going off on Bush!!"

I mean honestly. If people want to watch that shitbag then fine. But I've got to get better at wading through posts/posters who feel the constant need to update us on every passing wind that points this idiot in another direction? I think that because he's not an avowed/professed/admitted right wing shill that what he says and does seems to be open to interpretation depending on what one brings to watching him, and as a result he causes more threads than other media shills. But damn, it's getting hard to weed through all the posts about his show and how he feels up to the minute regarding Plamegate.

1. Just ignore them in your mind.

Btw, this is a chris matthews thread. :)

[Generator]

2. LOL bigtime

But I hate him so much I HAVE to read them. Edited to add: because of course I don't watch that filthy whore and haven't for a YEAR. What prize do I win?

[porphyrian]

3. Click the little box to the right of the thread...

...with the "x" in it. Yes, it's irritating to do every one.

[NYCGirl]

4. Just click the little box next to the thread title. The board'll do the

rest.

5. If you don't like them, don't read them.

I get very pissed at Tweety lots of times too, but the last few weeks, he's been pushing a lot of good questions.

Can't say that I always agree with his analysis, but most of the time, I do...at least in the recent few weeks.

It's kinda like Cable TV. If you don't like it, don't read it!

[vi5]

7. It gets difficult though...

I mean honestly, certain times of day every other thread is about his show or something he said on his show or something some guest on his show said. It gets hard to click ignore on every other thread.

At the very least I wish people would take the time to scroll the board and see the 8 billion other threads discussing his show and chime in on those rather than filling up what seems like very forum with Tweety related posts/threads.

There's a reason I don't watch him because his show and his guests irritate me. Simple enough. But then I feel like my only option is to not read this board (which I DO like) because so much of it seems to revolve around his show.

11. Choose the Hide Threads function-that's what I did about all the

Schiavo posts.

[napi21]

13. Yes, and that time is when Tweety's show starts at 4PM or

whatever time it starts, and continues through the end of the rerun at 8PM EST. I realize it pisses you off, but it is only a few hours a day.

[cynatnite]

19. To each their own...

Skip over the posts you're not interested in. I skip over all the Gannon/Guckert threads because those are not news to me. There are a few others as well.

DU offers the option to hide the threads which not many others allow.

You have free will to either ignore the threads not to your liking or to hide them.

Or you can decide not to read this board based on the amount of threads concerning Tweety.

6. If Chris Matthews blowed up today I wouldn't care

but still every time I see his big puffy bloated moon face it reminds me about how he got moist fantasizing about chimpy in his tight jeans and later prancing around on the carrier and all I can feel is utter contempt for how low a human being can sink. I say leave him on so we can all loathe him.

[vi5]

8. If it were just all loathing I could handle that....

A mutual hatred society is something I could back when it comes to that idiot. But it seems like every other thread is some different interpretation of the EXACT SAME THING.

[kikiek]

9. And anything starting with WTF?

[oasis]

10. Occasionally he'll have Katrina Vanden Huevel or Lawrence O'Donnell

on his show. Today he had Amy Goodman. It's good for DUers to hear lefties put our message out there.

[pinto]

12. LOL.

[freeplessinseattle]

14. and all the "I'm worried about people getting their hopes up"

thrice daily, misery loves company posts, though I s'pose I should return their concern and babysit their feelings by sending them some crisis line info.

[xultar]

15. Oooo and an ignore Drudge function. Better yet an auto-dump for

drudge.

[UTUSN]

16. 1) He could die, 2) MSRNC ought to realize Dems are Core Audience

"... he's not an avowed/professed/admitted right wing shill ..."

------------------HUHHHHH?????????

[TahitiNut]

17. The same 1-hour show is broadcast 3-4 times on MSRNC, ...

... and we get DUers who apparently wake up and "discover" it's on each time. :shrug;
It's like counting waves before surfing DU. Or something. :dunce:

[porphyrian]

18. It would be nice to have some kind of filter, though...

...where we could ignore threads containing certain words. This might work out for the censors among us or the children who probably shouldn't read things like "traitorous fuckhead." I'm not for mandatory censorship, but this might be an effective tool for individual use. It's probably a pain in the ass to code, though.

[eleny]

20. You need to use the Hide Thread feature

Nice feature. Try it some time.

I mean honestly. If you really need to crab at DU then fine. But I've got to get better at wading through posts/posters who feel the need....

You get the message.

[PlanetBev]

21. vi5, thank you!

Tweety is a waste of our precious senses of hearing and sight. This is a nakedly transparent coward who should have been born with ten thumbs to aim at the wind. The fact that this asshole is rewarded with a colossal income whoring for Fascists is proof that we are witnessing the end of a great Western democracy. If Rove, Libby and Company walk next week, Tweety will choke the chicken right on T.V. and sing the praises of the Bush Evil Empire.

[ret5hd]

22. man, i hate to tell you... (and i probably shouldn't)...

but those of us that are "donators" have a big button in the upper right corner of our screen that says "Ignore Posts About Chris Matthews".

If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'...

[TahitiNut]

23. That only shows up on Mozilla browsers.
