This very recently dismissed host had no choice but to exit.

The pile-on was just starting and this time the sealed sexual harassment settlements were not going to stay sealed.

A story that exemplifies what else in there –

The host often walked around without pants and one time tried to stick his penis into a female employee’s ear while she was seated at her desk.

Chris Matthews and the confusion about paying women ‘compliments’

Chris Matthews, veteran host of the long-running MSNBC show “Hardball,” resigned Monday after renewed criticism over on-air comments and sexist behavior, including accusations of making inappropriate remarks about women.

In a piece for GQ last week, journalist Laura Bassett revealed Matthews flirted with her several times before she appeared on his show. In 2016, while she was in the makeup chair before a segment on sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump, Matthews said, “Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?”

Bassett said the interaction made her feel uncomfortable on air. In his final segment Monday night, Matthews apologized.

“Compliments on a woman’s appearance that some men, including me, might have once incorrectly thought were OK, were never OK,” Matthews said. “Not then and certainly not today. And for making such comments in the past, I’m sorry.”

Many of Matthews’ viewers took to social media to criticize Bassett and express their dismay with her discomfort, at times outright mocking her. Why, they asked, was it wrong for Matthews to pay Bassett a “compliment”?

The reaction underscores the feeling of some in the #MeToo era, confused that remarks, which were long acceptable, are now viewed as problematic. Many think the movement has gone too far.- Source
