Chris Matthews NH Primary Coverage Sows Disharmony in TwitChoir

Twitter has been an interesting thing to watch during televised sporting events like the World Series, NFL and college football games etc. as folks converse in real time as the action unfolds. Equally interesting has been the discourse during televised political debates and subsequent primary results coverage. Commentary on the candidates themselves is interwoven with commentary on the quality of the coverage, the bias of the commentators, etc.

During the New Hampshire primary results coverage MSNBC's Chris Matthews managed to piss off a lot of people. Some of the Twitter backlash is shown in the Tweetscan screenshot below. Note that some of the Twitter posts point to more detailed rants and video clips. Pretty good example of how Twitter is as much a launch platform for more in-depth discussion happening elsewhere. chris_matthews_Tweet_Scan.png
