Matt Lauer fired from NBC News after complaint about “inappropriate sexual behavior.”

In what has become a seemingly daily event, Matt Lauer is the latest media figure hit for inappropriately hitting on younger women in the course of work.

NBC announced Matt Lauer’s firing on the Today show on Wednesday.

While technically Lauer was said to have been dismissed by NBC over a single complaint as well as purportedly the only one NBC was aware of, other media have been investigating and reporting on other problematic allegations lodged against him and which entail years of purported as well as thoroughly inappropriate bad behavior.

The word always was that Lauer had girls on the side and God help anybody who talked.

In any event, at the present rate of firings over sexual misconducts by males, one can only assume that the glass ceiling for females working in the news media is about to be shattered even if most news media senior level corporate level suits continue – at least for the time being – to be overwhelmingly male.

To fully appreciate these daily revelations, you need to love irony.
Today, we learn that Stanley Rosenberg–the Senate President who put up a ‘firewall’ so that there would be no sexual harassment on Beacon Hill, has a spouse who used Rosenberg’s power to get into guys’ pants. All unbeknownst to Rosenberg, naturally.
For a good laugh, grab some popcorn and watch the Matt Lauer interview of Bill O’Reilly. It’s the ultimate in irony.
