The Telegraph has delved into trying to rank the most influential political pundits in the United States and has let their bias shine through. Guess who is #2 on the list? It’s none other than MSNBC blowhard Chris Matthews.

About Chris Matthews they opine:

Motor-mouth MSNBC presenter of “Hardball” show, Matthews is a former Jimmy Carter speechwriter and aide to Tip O’Neill when he was Speaker of the House. He is believed to be contemplating running as a Democrat for the Senate in his native Pennsylvania. His ratings are not the highest but Matthews punches above his weight – and shouts above the hubbub.

With his infectious enthusiasm for politics, Matthews has pushed back hard against what he sees as the cynicism of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Mocked for saying that Barack Obama sent a “thrill up my leg” and accused by Clinton aides of being a misogynist, Matthews has bounced back. Always part of the conversation, his return to full-time politics would be journalism’s loss.

Boy, isn’t that a generous ranking! You know, considering fewer people listen to Chris Matthews than some of the other people on the list. Maybe the Telegraph should take a look at just the latest cable television/news ratings to see how badly Matthews actually performs.
