My Dad didn’t really talk about work when I was a kid, did all the firms have to do that, or larger ones?

Actually, when I left that firm in ‘94 I went to work at a software startup in CT. That company had a consultant come in to give us “the talk”. I remember it not going over well at all. The prevailing attitude seemed to be “who the hell is this b!tch to tell grown men and women how to interact with each other?”.

“One reason he was fired: Chris Matthews warns of ‘executions in Central Park’ if socialism wins. “

If only he had realized that socialism was the inevitable outcome of the direction the Democrats had been heading in for decades and decades. He and many others unwaveringly supported the party that they now fear.

And, like all abusive people, he is taking zero responsibility. Note his language. He’s blaming the new rules. At no point does he acknowledge his own actual wrongdoing.

That's not how I read it:

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

For that counterrevolutionary outburst, he will go to the gulag in Alaska, to aid polar bears trapped on icebergs.

This article is essentially correct and incorrect.

Chrissy IS out because of #MeToo.

He could have weathered one storm, or the other, but not both.

So the older allegations and lawsuits are what ousted him not some HeartBern.

I REITERATE: #MeToo has been the greatest gift
To the conservative movement in a lifetime. We have decapitated more Manhattan and DC insiders than ever imaginable.

NPR ALONE fired 8 Execs/Talent over #MeToo

I am no fan of Matthews but he clearly admits to todays improper behavior and accepts responsibility for what is now considered improper speech toward women but clearly was NOT considered improper back in the day.

My take is that anyone who thinks an apology is due from somebody for something said 30, 40, 50 yrs ago which at that time was perfectly fine is completely f’n NUTS!

Good looking women KNOW they are good looking and dress to accentuate their best features. Women at least the ones I new and grew up with LOVED to be complimented and told the new dress or hairstyle is flattering. Do women really believe they don’t go through all the torture they seem to go through by dieting, exercising, spending literal fortunes on salves, ointments face packs and the rest of it for only themselves and NOT to appear attractive to men? Perhaps gay women don’t but even they do this to be attractive to other women.

Like Stalin killing the people that helped him into power : the academics, news reporters, intellectuals. They were all traitors to the people. Kill them because their nature has been exposed. They may betray him in the future.

Right at the onset of the #MeToo movement in late 2017, the Daily Caller uncovered a settlement paid out by NBC to assuage a former employee of Matthews who alleged sexual harassment... Just days after he likened Sanders's victory in Nevada to the fall of France to the Nazis, he pressed Warren on her invoking the allegation that Michael Bloomberg told a female employee to have an abortion. Angering Sanders and Warren fans is a good way to alienate a substantial portion of the MSNBC audience.

Is the article trying to make it sound like the commie and the fake Indian have that kind of power?

It was the Nazi comment that got Chrissy FIRED!

Liberals are real pesky with those advertisers! Conservatives need to learn how to nag advertisers until they finally say no more advertising for the show!

He’s apologizing for harmless *compliments*.

You don’t get fired from an anchor position after 22 years for *compliments*.

Stand by.

Matthews was attracted to a guest and told her he liked her makeup and could fall in love with her.

Again when she was in hair and makeup, he said put more makeup on her, I could fall in love with her.

Why do powerful men do this?

Hoping so the woman will see it for what it is: Being hit on and hoping the woman wants to advance her career enough to have sex with withered up old lecherous pundits.

Typical way to say Hey let’s have sex.
