Maddow Gets Her Own MSNBC Show
The Washington Post (excerpt) ^ | August 19, 2008 | Howard Kurtz

Excerpt-

~ snip ~

The liberal commentator and Air America host, who has become a breakout star for the cable channel during this campaign, is taking over the 9 p.m. slot following Keith Olbermann, who she often subs for on "Countdown." Olbermann broke the news in what he called a "fully authorized leak" this afternoon on the left-wing Web site Daily Kos. Dan Abrams, the former MSNBC general manager who had been hosting "Verdict" at that hour, will continue as NBC's chief legal correspondent and will be a daytime anchor for MSNBC.

Life is really good when you NEVER turn on a TV set.

TV is really going to the dogs.

We quit watching pretty much all TV except some comedies, comedy reruns that is. Seinfeld and some Scrubs are always good even if they are on the 5th time around.

So Abrams, who could hardly be called completely objective, will now be replaced by a liberal lesbian who worships Obama.

I guess MSNBC has now answered McCain’s complaints about NBC and MSNBC being in the tank for Obama.... They are now fully in the tank.

BWahaahahahhaaaa

Only in the Democrat Media can failure be subsidized, lose your radio gig because you suck and noboby wants to listen, and in steps Dem Media to offer her a job.

The Media Business is no business at all, it is a social club, no more, no less.

there’s nothing wrong with her that a healty dose of mrmargaritavill couldn’t fix. If she’d put on a dress, let her hair grow longer and unbutton the top couple of buttons of that dress she wouldn’t look half bad-I’d hit it (after a little session with my Appleton Estates VX).

Predictable and well suited to the MSDNC network.

In an image, visual media "Air America" works. That's been proven since Walter Cronkite brought us Tet, the Defeat. Modern incarnation is YouTube.

When people are forced to think in spoken words rather than images, it fails.

Although written words do not have the same immunity to lies that spoken ones do. Viz the Village Voice, Ramparts, New York Times, nearly all best selling novels.

When did Abrams become the former MSNBC general manager? I thought he still had that position. Did he get demoted?

Once upon on a time, before he went looney, he was quite good. I still remember him from 2000 when he grabbed a copy of the Supreme Court decision and did his analysis of it right there on the steps in the freezing cold night air. He nailed it in 2 minutes flat! Kept saying it was over for Gore. Then I would switch over to Roger Cossack of CNN who kept saying that Gore had nothing to worry about. The fool kept saying that for 2 hours. Weeks later, Cossack got fired. Now he is the legal analyst for ESPN.

nbc management needs to be sent packing by the board. They are pissing an enormous amount of wealth down the rat (pun intented) hole.
