NBC Made Payment To Staffer After Sexual Harassment Claim Against Chris Matthews

An MSNBC spokesman confirmed Saturday the company made a separation-related payment to one of Chris Matthews employees after the woman complained about sexual harassment.

Two sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Caller that Matthews paid $40,000 to settle with an assistant producer on his show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” in 1999 after she accused him of harassment. An MSNBC spokesperson contested that claim to the Caller, saying the company instead paid significantly less as part of a severance package.

Matthews never actually felt a thrill run up his leg about Obama. He felt something run down.  It was  his Depends leaking.

"This is why you don't hire women"

I think there is going to be a anti-feminist backlash as a result of all these accusations
sans much evidence. It's the new Dem goto tactic to take out Repubs. Happily they
are taking a few hits too.

40k to shut up a disgruntled employee is chump change to Matthews and NBC. As much
as I dislike Chrisy I don't see him as a powerful sexual predator. That said, I am loving all
the bad press this is causing him.

You have to laugh - idiots like Matthews thought Obama was going to be such a great statesman, before it became painfully obvious that without a teleprompter he was incapable of articulating a coherent answer to even the simplest question...
