MSNBC Takes Incendiary Hosts From Anchor Seat
2008-09-08

#13  Sarah and John went a MSMoose huntin' and bagged a couple.

Don't think this was the reason? Just start chanting "NBC,NBC" in front of 40 million TV viewers and see what happens.

#12  The anchor on cable news is small potatos. It's the opinion broadcasts that get the ratings. Did they take Hardball away (they shouldn't)? If not they've done nothing but spin.

Perhaps the news world isn't big enough for MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, and CNN Headline News plus PBS, NBC, ABC, and CBS news on the left side of the spectrum. Maybe CNN should buy CBS news and shut down Headline news. Maybe NBC should shut down CNBC and NBC news and consolidate with MSNBC. Perhaps ABC news should just go away.

#10  David Gregory - another smirky little piece of shit - will take over for them.

Don't tell that to the true believers over at Democratic Underground. According to them, David Gregory is "a shill" for KKKarl Rove, and this affair is another example of creeping fascism, "just the first step...the first step in getting Keith off the air altogether."

I love seeing the unhinged Olbermann's unhinged minions unhinging like this.

#8  So what exactly changed at MSNBC?

Reduction in the number of janitors to clean up the spittle around the anchor booth? Got to find costs savings someplace.

#7  So... they still have someone who is a member of the propaganda arm of the dhimocrats. So what exactly changed at MSNBC?

#6  David Gregory - another smirky little piece of shit - will take over for them. Slight (very slight) improvement. No sale, NBC or GE. I expect KO's "contract extension" talks to last a while, say....past the election? Regardless, it's a wonderful career bitchslap for Tingles Matthews and Edward R Olbermann

#5  Dang I meant KO, not OS. Sorry OS...Brain F%rt.

#4  OS is a tool. One of these days he is going to go one bridge too far...and he will be squashed.

#3  Too little, too late.

To allow such lowlife to host a show on a national venue states lot about the lack of character of the management, investors, and viewers of this here abomination of a show.
Sensationalism is not news.

msnbc, you are a worthless network and you will not survive.

Screw all of you.

#2  I don't read this as them losing the Anchor Seat.
Somebody help me out here.

All I see is they do not anchor debates or election night. Big deal.
