Chaos at MSNBC

While the Olympics continue in Vancouver, we're hearing that things continue to fall apart at "The Place for Politics." Despite having Olympic lead-ins to their prime-time line-up, ratings continue to be abysmal. Keith the Stalker has not been able to get out of his ratings slump for almost a year, and his bizarre personal behavior has begun to worry some NBC execs. Nobody knows when or if he will actually even show up to host his own show for one thing.

Lay off on the poor curlers. Nobody ever died in a curling match

Wait until they start having Shamu swimming under the ice. Sweep sweep sweep crash munch munch munch.

For some reason my son really likes the curling. I enjoyed watching the Danish women’s team play!

The New Yorker mag reported that KO parents once contemplated sending him to a mental hospital.

MSNBC may be getting sick of Olbie’s behavior. I’ve noticed his show is often on with guest hosts, and Maddow’s show has been replacing his time slot lately. He seems to have overplayed the sick father card even more than he abused the death of his mother. No ratings plus psychotic behavior equals no contract, even at MSNBC.

This is just history repeating itself with Olbermann. He has a track record of wearing out his welcome at least as far back as the 80’s when he was the sports guy at Channel 5 in Los Angeles.

I’ve seen some of the chaos on Youtube.... Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow come to mind.

It really is weird over there.

It took them long enough to worry...

On the other hand, I think they like everything he says.

Olbermann will not come to a good end.

Drug abuse?

I listened to the video of KO’s rant about his father. Been there, done that with ill parents and in-laws, and I empathized with the ups and downs of a loved one’s health crisis. What I found odd is he had the “death panel” rant all mixed up. He was excoriating the use of the term “death panel” and said his talks w/his father’s doctors were more “life panels” and I agree. But what he didn’t mention was if Obamacare in it’s original form had gone or goes through, he would not be able to have those “life panel” talks with his dad’s doctors. Because of government guidelines, his dad’s doctors would have long ago had to say, “Enough” on the care his dad has received.

I would guess....not having been there myself.....that there was a great and all-encompassing chaos on the decks of the Titanic just before the bow went under, the center stack crumbled, and ship's "spine" broke, and she slipped beneath the waves never to be seen again....

Are we seeing a "re-play" over there at msnbc??

One must wonder!

MSNBC is not based upon the free market principle of profitability. This is about ideology. As long as MSNBC is sponsored by the likes of Soros and Gates, it will continue to be a propaganda outlet for statism.

Howard Beall. But without the common sense and without the charm.
