Chris Matthews is awesome. He tells it like it is and pulls no punches. You better bring your A game when you go on his show. The people he interviews can get pretty loud, but nobody is louder than Matthews when he's hunting for the truth. Nothing seems to piss him off more than dishonesty.
Rachael Maddow is one of the smartest people on TV. She states facts clearly and honestly, with some of the best fact-checking around. Her knowledge, insight, intelligence and honesty makes her one of the best commentators on TV.
It's such a relief to listed to Matthews and Maddow after seeing the fake news shows that Fox puts out. They have some pretty good shows (American Dad, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, etc.) but their 'news' is just light entertainment that should not be taken too seriously. Even so, their lies need to be exposed because some people seem to think it's news.
