It’s About Time
By 
Chris Matthews, the veteran political anchor and voluble host of the long-running MSNBC talk show “Hardball,” resigned his position at the network on Monday night, an abrupt departure from a television perch that made him a fixture of politics and media over the past quarter century.
Mr. Matthews, 74, has faced mounting criticism in recent days over a spate of embarrassing on-air moments, including a comparison of Senator Bernie Sanders’s campaign to the Nazi invasion of France and an interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren in which the anchor was criticized for a condescending and disbelieving tone.
Kudos to Elizabeth Warren and especially Laura Bassett for making this happen. Good thread on his greatest misses here.
I would also observe that Matthews being one of the highest-paid political commentators in America for more than two decades is not unrelated to the male chokehold on presidential nominations Paul discusses below.
