Chris Matthews announces retirement, mutually parts ways with MSNBC
|
[NBCNews] Chris Matthews, one of the longest-tenured voices at MSNBC, announced his retirement during Monday’s night’s airing of his talk show, "Hardball."
The thrill up the leg is gone
Matthews, 74, said he and MSNBC had mutually agreed to part ways. The decision followed a series of events that resulted in criticism of the host’s statements about Bernie Sanders, African-American lawmakers, and comments he had made to female journalists and coworkers.
"I’m retiring," Matthews said. "This is the last ’Hardball’ on MSNBC."
Matthews was due to retire in the near future with the events of the past week playing a factor in the timing of the move, an MSNBC spokesperson said.
Matthews, a former speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter, has hosted "Hardball" on MSNBC since 1999 and remained a centrist voice
...y’all forgot the scare quotes around centrist, O NBC journalist... | on the cable news channel’s prime-time programming, which often features commentary that is further to the left.
NBCUniversal is the parent company of MSNBC and NBC News.
