Chris Matthews Has Been Perving On Women On TV For Years. Who Knows What He Does Off-Camera.
MSNBC Fired Him for Opposing the Left, Not For Perving on Women

The Spectator's Amber Athey rounds up Matthews' long history of drooling on female guests -- as well as his history of confusing one black person with another -- and decides that those can't be the real reasons for his sudden departure.

If MSNBC didn't care about Matthews’s alleged actions then, why would they care now? They presumably could just ignore Bassett's story like the others and eventually everyone would forget the claims that Matthews is a serial womanizer.

The truth is that Matthews's real transgression was challenging the leftward lurch of the Democratic party.

Matthews apologized last Monday after outrage over his comparison of Sen. Bernie Sanders’s win in the Nevada primary to the Nazis invading France in World War Two. His comparison was certainly ill-chosen, but it would’ve played just fine if he weren’t talking about the Democratic frontrunner -- MSNBC hosts across the board have compared Donald Trump to Hitler with no major backlash. Matthews only got into real trouble when he challenged Sen. Elizabeth Warren for reflexively believing a woman who claimed former mayor Michael Bloomberg told her to kill her baby upon discovering she was pregnant.

....

That exchange might not make conservatives think twice, but it was a grave sin among progressive feminists who eschew due process for 'believe all women'.

Indeed, those two moments may have sealed Matthews’s fate -- an MSNBC dinosaur about to get clobbered by a meteor sent by the new leftist order.

...

Meanwhile, his attack on Bernie Sanders speaks to an entirely different trend among the establishment left. The Nazi comparison would not have been as detrimental if it were said two weeks ago, as plenty of MSNBC pundits had gone after the elderly socialist in favor of the Democratic National Committee primary favorites. But if Sanders is on the path to victory, the Democratic establishment -- including the cable and broadcast news networks -- will have to start coalescing around him as their only shot at beating Trump. Matthews proved with his comments that he is not up to that task, plus he only added fuel to allegations that MSNBC has been out to get Bernie from the beginning. This is unacceptable for a network that needs to appear credible to Bernie's base should he win the primary.
