Keith Olbermann was fired by MSNBC sources tell TMZ, and we're told it had everything to do with Comcast's acquisition of NBC.
Sources connected with the network tell us ... Comcast honchos did not like Keith's defiance and the way he played in the sandbox.
Our sources say Keith has around two years left on his contract, and he'll be paid his salary -- around $7 million a year.
We don't know if Comcast will let Keith make a deal with another network as part of an exit agreement, but it's a good bet he'll be benched for a minimum of 6 months, and probably longer.
I saw a report that said he made 40 million a year.
He gets 7 million a year to spew hate!! Doesn’t he always go on and on bashing the “Rich” hmmm, doesn’t look like Keith is poor now is he
The DUmmies are over there whining about how he should go over to the intarwebs and flap his lips there and what a good thing that would be.
First time I ever agreed with those twerps.
I figured Comcast just might want to try to remake MSNBC into something more respectable than they are.Either that or just shut them down and make the channel into something profitable?
It would be funny to see OlberJERK go off on his old network.
Like a home shopping network!
$7 million per year? LOL
What a friggin joke.
I actually thought he was getting paid more like $350,000 per year.
How stupid do you have to be to Katie Couric money anyway?
Twenty-four hours later, the Anti-Palin is sh*tcanned? Whattup, Keefie? Misunderestimate somebody's actual popularity, did we?
This, my FRiends, is the beginning of the end of "It's, like... so cool to be a liberal porgressive, marnnn." The Sleeping Giant has awakened, and he is P-O'ed something fierce. Their last desperate gasps still ring in their pointy little ears as they are shown the door by a society which turns out to be more decent and better informed than they thought possible.
Tip of the iceberg. Just like "Air America," these schlubbs are headed for the scrapheap of broadcast history. I can just about feel it. God help me, but I love the smell of irrelevance in the morning!
C'mon, Sarah. It's just about time to make your move.
;-\
One suspects that he’ll be replaced by a more balanced team, with Bill Ayers on the left, and Cindy Sheehan providing the conservative viewpoint.
If he pays his taxes like the liberals want him to....He’ll have $35 in 2012...He’ll be on our side then
Good grief, why wouldn't they? It'd be a twofer -- get rid of the millstone around their neck and hang it on someone else's. Question is, what network is suicidal enough to hire him?
