CUI BONO: Don Surber: #MeToo helps the media clear dead wood. “In dragging out in public a case quietly settled 18 years ago, Comcast now has a reason to cashier him. How convenient. Matthews may soon join a list of over-55 television presenters bounced like a Bernie Madoff check this year. . . .

Age is the reason management wants them gone. What a drag it is getting old.”
