MSNBC says it's ending contract with Keith Olbermann; last broadcast of 'Countdown' tonight

[taildragger]

One month from now....

Comcast turns MSLSD into the 24 All Faith Channel...

At 3pm the Methodist Hour....

At 4 the Rabbi and I...

At 5, the all new Catholic Hr, the Walk with Father John....

Hey we can dream can't we imagine all those loons being gone, Mika, Crissy etc....

[gore_sux]

Thank You Comcast!

[Mears]

“DU is going nuts!”

Yes they certainly are, and it’s pretty funny.

[Paladin2]

"....host Lawrence O'Donnell would fill Mr. Olbermann's 8 p.m. slot beginning on Monday. "

LOL.

[Col Frank Slade]

Countdown to no contract .

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Sounds like the new owner of NBC is serious about making money and not allowing blowhards to destroy the bottom line as Olberman has.

This could be a reawakening of MSM as they realize that pushing Marxist drivel is a loser.

There does come a moment when even Marxists become Capitalists.

Namely, when their job is on the line.

[who knows what evil?]

...and Ed Schultz at 10??? LOL...

[Bullish]

OH, would he just die if MSNBC gave his time spot to the Ann Coulter Show????

Naaa.... Starting Monday....Countdown with Alan Grayson.

It wouldn't surprise me.

My wife works in the Government Affairs end of Comcast and they are by no means a conservative company.
Big BO supporters.

[Pride in the USA]

Ahhhhhhhh, poor baby . . . NOT!

Adios’, Keith.

I guess he wasn't liberal enough! /s

Comcast to Keith: “Bend Forward”

[Mariner]

Sweet

Someone at MSNBC looked at the ratings and realized kids on YouTube have more viewers, and then asked, “we are paying this guy how much???”

[Squeeky]

I bet MSNBC is going to have to go a new direction. Because their people are not getting a lot of viewers. Plus so many of their people are just smart a$$es. Who just smirk all the time and act like everybody should agree with them, and if they don’t, then are just stupid or something. That gets old after a while. Plus, Keith Olbermann just looks like a big sissy.

Steve Allen was the best.

Whoa...now that's dating yourself!

I remember Steve Allen, and liked him a lot. He sure could crack himself up, couldn't he? Funny guy. He made everyone smile.

Steve was early TV, though, and didn't quite master the late night talk TV groove as well as Johnny did. Johnny became an American institution, and in his time, was one of the most influential people in the entertainment business.
