To ask why so many people dislike Matthew Wright?

I normally bow to the majority wisdom of MN, and if there's one thing on which most MNers seem to agree on it's that Matthew Wright is a twat.

But...he's always seemed quite nice to me. Really. I think I've said in the past that he's the kind of man I'd like to pop round and have a cup of tea with. I even once rang into the show (although I blame that incident on post natal hormones). So what's he done that's so twattish? I'm guessing there must be something that I've missed for MN to be so united on this, but I genuinely don't think I've ever heard him say something unpleasant.

God knows workshy but the cynical part of me thinks that a few of the posters who claim to be male, are actually women anyway Grin

formerdiva · 07/03/2012 13:46

Maybe he starts all the favourite mumsnetter threads?

I saw the

"foul mouthed illiterate harpies"

comment this morning. I have beamed with pride all day Grin

FWIW he's dropped a few right bollocks over the years, but acknowledged them when the show has been pulled up, so they obviously listen to their viewing public.

Also, lets face it, the digs at Mumsnet certainly don't do this wbsit any harm. Quite the opposite I'd say

I have a coffee read the paper etc most mornings with his programme on. I often think he would get the point more if he didn't have to parade channel 5 goons on as guests.
I actively liked Mark Lyttle and Janet Ellis along with him but feel he is often easily led by more alpha males on the panel.
Best tv a that time

I dont know why MNetters hate him so much i just hate him cos he is so smug he actually gives me the creeps I havnt watched the wright stuff in years , he has a funny smile Oh and he calls parents breeders although I did see it when he said about John leslie all those years ago i had flicked channels as This morning was on adverts , it was glorious to see him squirm

Pagwatch · 07/03/2012 15:51

I don't hate him. He is a rubber faced wanker and his programme is the very definition of dumbed down but I don't hate him.
He is a cynical, self important arse who landed himself a tv show. But so did Jeremy Kyke. So did the bunch of women who talk about nothing.

The only thing that shocks me is that people watch this shit. I like crap tv. But crap tv pretending to be important is really grim.

cornsilkidy · 07/03/2012 15:55

His face makes me scream.

sozzledchops · 07/03/2012 16:11

Orgasmically?

cornsilkidy · 07/03/2012 16:11

in terror

SarahStratton · 12/03/2012 09:44

I quite like him

He does a damn fine job of tank tapping too.

albertselephants · 12/03/2012 10:32

I think hes great Grin watch him every morning! :)

He makes me laugh, and whenever hes criticised mumsnet, I've always agreed with him!

So to all you who 'dislike' him, go and get yourself a SOH.
