Chris Matthews is gone, and is LONNNNG overdue.
That fossil was everything wrong with modern political "journalism", making it all about him and the insider BS vs the people affected by politics. And seeing these washed-up Boomers get freaked out by the fact that people under 50 might want something better than the declining country these old white men left them with was both pathetic, and amusing.
Let's hope it's the start of a positive trend, where the people with mentalities of the past, who care more about political games than the outcomes of policy, are taken to the sidelines. And replace them with people who actually care about facts and reality beyond the Beltway.
This tweet summed it up well.
Chris Matthews' specific situation aside, this would be a good time to retire the Hardball name, along with any other news show/segment title that suggests politics is a sport.
