NBC: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was reprimanded over comments about woman in 1999
MSNBC host Chris Matthews was accused of inappropriate jokes and comments about a female employee in 1999 and the woman was paid separation compensation, a spokesperson for the cable network confirmed Saturday.
The Daily Caller, citing two sources familiar with the situation, first reported the news of the payment which it said was made by Matthews to settle with what it said was an assistant producer on his show "Hardball with Chris Matthews" in 1999.
"In 1999 this matter was thoroughly reviewed and dealt with. At that time Matthews received a formal reprimand," the MSNBC spokesperson said in an email Saturday.

WNU Editor: Chris Matthews will probably still keep his show, but I have lost count on the number of news broadcasters that I have been following for years .... and using them on this blog .... that are now gone because of sexual harassment claims. The shock to someone like me who follows the news very closely .... that these men who in the past year basically said the following .... "have you no decency, sir” .... have behaved like the predators and pervs that they passed judgement on. And in the case of NBC, it looks like the problem is just the tip of iceberg .... "MSNBC refused to say whether or not this is the only claim against Matthews."

the focus for newspaper and tv stories about sexual harassment focus upon the media/film/etc areas...that is why known people continue to pop up. Imagine, for example, that the company where I work had two complaints about a VP and interns. Do you think there would be national interest in this/ Not even in the trashiest tabloids. It is Name Recognition that makes the story...We are told about congressmen but more often than not it is a name that for most is meaningless but after all He is a congressman, and that means a loss of an elected seat, so of national interest. Sum: this goes on or went on in universities, private companies, military outposts, etc...Same old story about dominance, power, professions, etc...But if it is a national name! Major Story.
I have heard this as the Left eating their own, because nothing else is Left. Given the dominance of the Left in old media and Hollywood, this is true.
Kind of like zombies eating zombies because nothing else is left in Z-Nation
Or like dragons eating other dragons after human kind is nearly wiped out, because there is nothing else is left in 'Reign of Fire'.
I really do like the cheer leaders of the Left like Mr. 'thrill up my leg' Mathews getting their comeuppance. Karma.
