heaven forbid Matthews act like the old dude he is. He's old school, but he's also pretty darn progressive. Does he retain some of the old school sensibilities about women and race and whatnot, sure. Is that a positive, no. Does he get it right most of the time? Yes.

We love him one moment then he says something someone doesn't like and he's an a$$ again.

The only truly fair critique of him IMO is that he is a fairly bad interviewer who interrupts his guests amazingly way way too much.
