Rushing to end your show but ending it so quickly that you get caught saying something when you think you’re off the air…

WTF! Matthews has some serious issues he needs to deal with and quit projecting them on other people. Was the DNC being racist when it cancelled the debate with the CBC and Fox news?

What is wrong with Matthews? Has he not figured out how television works… you don’t just start spouting at the mouth as soon as you feel like it… you gotta wait until the cameras are off!
As for what he said… *yawn*… is anyone really surprised?

Can’t get the video. Can someone tell me what he said? Thanks in advance…

sophia- He was talking to Craig Crawford about whether or not the Republicans choice not to debate in that PBS (it was PBS right?) forum, which was seen as black debate, will hurt them amongst white voters who don’t want to appear to have a problem with black voters.
Craig, of course, says something about how this will hurt the Republicans… because he’s a Democratic strategist, and that’s what he does.
But, Matthews cuts him off and says they’re out of time… wraps everything up, tosses it to the next show… takes a quick breath and then says, “You know, they don’t like being knows as racists” as he shuffles his papers.
Just one more examples of Matthews shooting off at the mouth. But nothing new for him, really.

Thanks, INB. If MSNBC keeps this kind of stuff up (David Schuster) they will continue to have problems getting Republicans to come on any of their shows.277835

The incredible shrinking MSNBC - thanks to Chrissy, Shuster and Scarborough?
Is Dan Abrams’ brain painted on?

I just can’t believe it. Does Matthews even know that the red light means you are still on TV? What a moron! You would think after all these years in the business he would know when you are on the air and when you are off.
Is it that his gaffes are just being brought to light more than other hosts/anchors or is he really screwing up that much?

I don’t think Matthews even cares anymore. Soon he will show up to work without any pants on. Hey, as long as a table covers up his legs, who would notice?

#9, I think once heard that Hugh Downs used to do that.
