I have always enjoyed the Wright Stuff, however lately I prefer it when the host presenter is not presenting! He is becoming more rude and obnoxious with every show, if every caller does not agree with his opinions he talks them down or cuts them off, this morning a lady caller was making an extremely valid point, he did not agree, proceeded to tell her she did not know what she was talking about then cut her off! This is now becoming the normal route with him, the show is public platform for individuals to voice their own opinions on the topics being discussed, if he does not agree he has no right to react with insulting behaviour. I have often wanted to call in but would not risk the wrath of his tongue! He is fast making the show very unwatchable and outdated, I know others share my opinion for sure. A guest recently walked off as a result of his brow beating dog with a bone attitude! Past his sell by date I feel!

Every question this so called journalist asks of the public is so heavily loaded. He is not in the slightest politically neutral and the quality of the journalism is a disgrace He is rude to callers and sometime guests and just shuts down a conversation if it isnt going the way he wants it to. Why they still employ him to do this is beyond belief.

IGNORANT BIAS PRESENTER RUDE TO ANY ONE WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH HIM
written by Anita321 on 10/07/2017
When will they introduce guests so that we can hear their names? I've never once managed to catch them as he says them so quickly and have to wait till the names appear on the screen to find out who they are if I don't know them! Also I wish he would stop making cynical and sarcastic comments especially about Brexit and the government and stop referring to children as brats. He's a real turn off. I would find the programme far more enjoyable if someone else took over.

Wright is a Boor, a Snob,Self Absorbed and Rude to the point of obnoxiousness..He constantly reminds Guests and people who phone in that it is HIS show and he's the most important one on it.His rudeness Knows NO bounds and always interrupts his guests in mid flow..I am Mathew Wright and I've got loads to say, so you better all jolly well listen..The best show EVER was when HE WASN'T there, I think Joe Mangle from Neighbours stood in.Everybody got their say and got to say it without being interrupted.Wright is a self important smug Pro European ###### who is over paid and has a nerve picking up his Pay Cheque..There are 10 people I'd really like to SLAP and he's 2nd on the list..He's the Rich Man's answer to Jeremy Kyle and he's Top of List. A horrible TV Host and there is NOTHING Professional about him at all, the dregs of the bottom of the Barrel.I hope your next #### is a Porcupine and somebody shoves your face in it..

Bought an easy on easy off sock aid kit. It took 4 months to get. When we got it was so big that it would stretch sock out. No measurements on the equipment to know that. They are not customer oriented and the equipment is not what it claims. Has a picture of a small person using the sock aid but they could not use it in real life. It is false advertising. called company. They said they would return it. Never mentioned a restocking fee or that we would have to pay shipping both ways. We are out over $27 and have nothing. Called company and talked to a lady. She said there is nothing they can do.

M. Wright's FB page deletes comments which do not suit his views without any explanation. They leave only more emotional ones to create an illusion of freedom of speech. Methods like in ZSRR just not as openly and obvious.

This man is so unbalanced, and frankly stupid, it's only worth watching to laugh at him.

M wright is always having a go at j Kyle .is he jealous or what. J k gets more viewers and more awards. Wrightie also gets angry if you don't agree with him. Oh and by the way j k proberbley lots more money than wrightie. He mostly nearly has the same audience. Matthew wright has got a big chip on his shoulder. He ,keeps on about how bad his first wife was .i would like to here her side of it.

I like the show and usually like the guests, but cannot stand matthew wright, he is so rude, he will ask panel members a question and then answer the question himself before the member gets a chance, he loves the sound of his own voice and talks over everyone, if he doesn't agree with what callers have to say he cuts them off, the only time I can manage to watch the show for more than 1 or 2 days during the week is when richard madely takes over while matthew is on holiday, i was most put out when matthew was on holiday the week before last, as he wasn't in on the following Monday I thought he was off that week also, but unfortunately he was back at the desk on Tuesday. Is there any chance that richard madely could replace matthew permanently?

agree 100%
I love the programme when Matthew is away-much better presenters who don't interrupt, constantly make cynical, sarcastic comments about the government and make rude comments to phone in guests!
Love Penny Smith and Richard Madeley a close second!

should be called the labour show,as im typing this the date is 16/02/15 the run up to the election this show is staged to get that little percentage to vote labour to get them to win the election the panel,the audience and the phone in people are totally hand picked to make you believe that the tories are bad and labour are good,total rubbish. labour have a plan to destroy england and they will if they get the majority in 2015,if you want your children shagged then vote labour.

Problem with Children Let me say I am a fan of the show I think that Mathew is sharp witty intelligent a bit arrogant full of him self but he keep the show moving at a fast pace I like his political comments and views but we have notice he has what seems to be an obsession about people with children and the fact that he is a none breeder as he puts it himself he mentions it every day with fail and works it into as many of the different topics discussed and there are time when you get a sense of nastiness in there , I think the Lad has a problem , he should remember he is in an industry that needs people a viewing public guests on the show his social life ect they were all children . He said something the other day and one of his guests asked him if he had children Mathew said NO ! the guest said thank God for that , I think he had spotted the problem

I only started watching THE WRIGHT STUFF again when Richard Madley hosted. It became a truly grown up show worth watching. Balanced and NON-BIASED views. He actually allowed guests and participants to SPEAK and he LISTENED to their points of view WITHOUT jumping in every couple of seconds like an excited schoolboy with an inflated opinion of himself and his own views! This became truly apparent once again as soon as Matthew Wright returned. I tried to watch the programme, I really did, but Mr Wright's behaviour is so adolescent, so LEFT-WING, so self righteous and so up his own backside! If only he would allow people to speak and have a view other than his own! I honestly thought the purpose of the show was to discuss current topics that make the news but since Mr Wright's return it has become more school playground, with an over indulged host who believes he is absolute leader of the pack - always right in everything he says, NOT prepared to listen and SO completely dismissive of anyone who disagrees with his completely warped outlook on life it's untrue! How childish and immature is that? The man is unbearable with a hugely inflated ego and a completely misplaced idea of his own importance and self-righteousness. PLEASE can this idiot be removed?

I agree, Mathew asks a question then butts in as soon as they start answering. I thought the panel was there to discuss topics not pander to the presenter. And please stop playing the music all the way through the programme it is so irritating.

I agree totally. Wish Penny Smith or Richard Madeley would take over permanently.

liking the wright stuff now mathew isnt on it more balanced views not just left wing
written by WallyToynbee on 22/04/2013
The Wright Stuff is very Left-wing - they have been campaigning since the show started against The Daily Mail - but not say The Express. The Left focus their hate attacks almost exclusively on Britain's most influential newspaper - and by extension its readers. Matthew (and other regulars) for example, advocate unlimited immigration and will shout down anyone who dares to express concerns about it - calling them racists. The standard Left-wing tactic. In fact Matthew regularly admits (as he did today)that he is some sort of Neo-Communist Revolutionary wanabee. And he has an excellent platform to further his agenda.

This show used to be quite entertaining, but recently the presenter, Matthew Wright has become increasing tiresome. Wright has an irritating false laugh which he seasons every over sentence with. A habit of faking knowledge on many subjects with the accompanying "yeah, yeah, yeah" whenever a panellist makes a point on which he feels qualified to backup. He has become vitriolic on issues concerning anything Christian, whilst being sensitive in the extreme to Muslim issues. The man(I use the term loosely), is fast becoming a crashing bore and is a classic coward, cutting off callers with whom he does not agree. Its about time Channel 5 kicked sand in the face of this sad little wimp and replaced him with someone who is better placed to present what could be an excellent chat show. Lowri Turner has sat in the chair on several occasions and the quality of the show was so much higher.

I concur, drives me insane how he laughs mockingly at callers to whom have an opposing viewpoint.
This show is totally dated now.

Well said! I would love Penny Smith to take over

Couldn't have expressed it better - thank you. This morning there were hints the programme might not return in the New Year - let's hope so.

It is clear to me that shows like the wright stuff perpetuate popular discourses. The discourses in fact that are constructed by the elite and filtered down through gatekeepers such as newspapers and radio shows. It is a myth that we are all able to reaaly share how we feel,dont forget that even the views of the callers are fitered also ,we need to remember who the agenda setters are,who tells us what to talk about? The topics are not unique to the wright stuff, you will hear the same topics on lbc and bbc london!

I thoroughly agree. Matthew Wright has become increasingly vocal about his anti Brexit viewpoint. He has more guests who support his Remainer preference and bullies and shuts down anyone who supports a Brexit position.
As the chair of the discussion he should allow both viewpoints equal weight, and is required under Ofcom rules to maintain a balance. This he has failed to do and I will be reporting my findings to Ofcom and ask them to investigate.
He is a gifted broadcaster, and I used to enjoy his show but his controlling manner, and constant interruption of both guests and callers has resulted in me preferring the show when Matthew Wright is on one of his many breaks. It is time for Channel 5 to rescue this show before it loses more if it's audience, and retire Matthew Wright.
There are many gifted broadcasters who have stepped in when Matthew is absent. A controversial but excellent stand in was Richard Bacon who Channel 5 should help to rehabilitate and take over the show.
