Matthews is known to run a long delay when talking to anybody he disagrees with politically. That way, he can be asking another question while they are only beginning to digest the idiocy of his previous question. It makes the interviewee look stupid and fumbling and Chris looks like he has some modicum of intellect.
I'd like to nominate CNN for most awkward set up. They have 2 panels sitting around separate tables right next to each other, video screens everywhere and now graphics and animation flying up in front of commentators walking across the set. Epilepsy sufferers really need to avoid watching.
