I would say he and Ed Schultz both are worse than Olbermann... definitely not a move to the right.

If they are, then Ed ‘yhate Pig’ Shultz the Union Mobster Mouth and Psycho Arsonist, will be getting the Bums ush soon as well.

OlberButtmunch just signed a 4 yr contact two years ago, and I expect he’ll get that salary, conditionally, on his keeping his mouth shut for the next two years..Which includes the 2012 election cycle...Now howaBoutDat? >Bo)

word has been circulating for months now that the new owners have wanted to "tinker" with MSNBC.

Tinker with? Some nights, a test pattern would draw higher ratings.

No right turn for the pathetic network who still employs BRAIN DEAD ED and Chrissy Tingles.

They are going to push moderate candidates to thwart the Conservative movement.

I gotta admit I’m mildly curious to see what happens with Ed ‘Hate Pig’ Schultz’s ratings when he moves into the 10pm slot.

“Replacing Olberdorque with Lawrence O’Donnell is not a move to the right.

O’Donnell is every bit as mean spirited an ideologue as Olberdorque but with a slightly prettier face and ounce more of charm and tact.”

A move from overt hostility to covert hostility. Same hate but with a smile and even more elitism.

It would be smart business for COMCAST to not allow MSNBC to continue to pursue a political ideology that alienates well over half of their potential viewing audience.

Ideology trumps the bottom line for libs.

Comcast will do what polling and ratings show to be the most profitable way to make money. The answer is already known that leftist TV doesn’t make money. News and talk are saturated.
My guess is Comcast puts its money on a second sports channel and then uses its cable muscle to put Comcast Sports in advantageous positions (200, 201, 202, etc.) on the dial and puts the ESPN channels in bad positions, ESPN 829, ESPN2 297, ESPNNews 936, etc. Disney and ABC channels will also get bad channel positions. Comcast will low-ball the ABC, Disney and ESPN channels on price negotiations.
Olbermann will find a 15-minute commentary show about conspiracies on Seattle public-access and put together a network of public-access channels, starting with Provincetown, the Castro, West Hollywood, Austin and South Beach. But it will fold.

MSNBC is a business and hopefully the people calling the shots will run it like one now.

Don't get your hopes up, there, bubba. This is the modern MSM we're talking about. They're about as daft a bunch of business people as you'll ever find.

They'll continue to push the left-liberal line, even if it means complete financial ruin for them.

MSNBC needs money. Olberman lost money.

And to fix it, they will install someone just as left-leaning as Olberdork. Yeah, that'll work.
