This is what I wrote and sent to him on the link you provided.

"Dear Mr Matthews; I was very inspired by your courage yesterday when you stood up to Reince Priebus, though, sadly, you stood alone. More journalists need to step up like you did and tell the truth. This country, our country, is at stake here and I applaud you for having the moral fiber to do what everyone who has a voice and a platform from which to use it should be doing. You were very inspiring and some of your colleagues need to find their voices to step up like you did. I totally encourage you to continue speaking truth to power. Bravo! "

So thanks again for the link
