“They allege that working with Matthews is something akin to the seventh circle of hell, with the host berating the staff for minor mistakes. One CNBC host reportedly refuses to even be near the MSNBC host. Reportedly, this person won’t even sit in the same makeup room if Matthews is present. Staffers on Matthews’ show used to joke that they were victims of “battered wives syndrome” (via Daily Caller):
Two former NBC producers independently alleged Matthews would rate the looks of his female guests on a scale...”
Did he make unwanted sexual advances on them, or didn’t he? This is BS.
Bosses are allowed to berate their staff, and those that don’t like it can go elsewhere. There’s nothing in this passage that talks about unwanted sexual advances on the employees. Rating female guests by looks is just something guys do, usually just around other guys. Girls do the same, usually just around other girls. It’s stupid to do guy talk around mixed company, but not sexual harassment.
Uh, no, berating staff is unprofessional and can lead to being fired - just as a raging underling can be fired. It affects morale and productivity. I love some guys here who think this is appropriate behavior. It is not.
It’s been clear to anyone who has watched this guy that he’s a horndog AND has a bad temper. The very definition of a bully.
Talk to chair flinging Coach Bobby Knight ... or slapping Woody Hayes (though his case was against an opposing player in the heat of the Gator Bowl) .... Coach Mike “lock-him-in-the-closet” Leach...no women involved in these cases, but some physical manifestation ... verbal abuse never arises to this level (rhetorical)?
The issue here is that the left has not been held publicly accountable to the ever expanding, evolving, sometimes ambiguous standards that they have manipulated and imposed (subject to civil and in some cases criminal penalty) in their positions of power / influence on their political opponents, but they themselves have violated, maybe to a greater degree. To be fair, yes, each case needs to be judged on its merits - including Chris Matthews. But where was the press when Bill O’Reilly was accused? This is their Frankenstein. I take no joy in this sad spectacle.
