Those wackey liberals, always the victim. Go figure.

[FourPeas]

an internal NBC study that described Donahue as "a tired, left-wing liberal out of touch with the current marketplace."

Wow, somebody at NBC *does* know something.

MSNBC spokesman Alan Winikoff wouldn't comment on Donahue's assertions. "Phil has a right to issue a statement and we respect that," he said.

Translation: We don't care what Phil says. The ratings speak for themselves. It's obvious why we cancelled him: no audience.

Phil Donahue, pictured above, went on to say: "They didn't (puff), give me a (puff) chance man! Cough! Cough!...."

[CyberAnt]

You forgot the WHINE ALERT!!

Attention MSNBC. Help Phil get better ratings.
I will watch his show faithfully if he broadcasts his show as a Human Shield on a Scud Missle Battery.
He could even wear cammos and a Gas Mask to stir up feelings. I will get my neighbors and friends towatch also if you can ad Hilly, Teddy, Tommy, and Nancy as Color Commentators.
Good Deal?

" Phil Donahue struck back at MSNBC on Wednesday for his firing, suggesting the network was too quick to pull the trigger and that it might be trying to "out-fox Fox" with conservative voices. "

Has it ever occurred to these radical, left-wing, mean spirited, hateful types, that the American public doesn't want to hear the hate talk they (Phil DonoWho) spout. It just doesn't fly. His views represent only a small fraction of the citizenry.

Be ready: The Fairness Doctrine is coming back strong if the Dems get back a solid majority anytime soon, and they get some court nominees in place at the top. Be vigilant. This is how they will go after Fox and talk radio.

Gold and Silver medalists as they approach the finish line. Phil Donahue (not shown) is in third place and closing fast...(If only I had more time)

[MonroeDNA]

Who is Phil Donahue? I've never heard of him.

[lonestar]

Phil's dog hates him!

[latrans]

A sore Lahooooozzzer!

[exmoor]

IF THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE FEAR OF GOD IN HIM..........

Tell it to Alan Keyes, Mr. Marlo Thomas. He doesn't realize just how much he was coddled.

"It took almost three years for Fox (News Channel) to overtake CNN," Donahue said in a statement Wednesday. "We had six months."

CNN established itself since the early 1980s.

Fox wasn't even on my cable service until last year (about the same time I dropped my cable service because of few worthwhile programs, most of what I watched was on broadcast FOX).

Difficult to over take a network when viewers can't get it (Time-Warner owned CNN was guaranteed to air on Warner Cable but Fox was slow to be added to the included channels; my cable company byt the way was Optel).

Being turned out by MSNBC is like picking the homeliest person in the bar at two in the morning, and then being turned down when you try to buy them a drink at last call.

"Phil Donahue . . .suggesting the network was too quick to pull the trigger and that it might be trying to "out-fox Fox" with conservative voices."

The only time Donohue's ratings went above a 'flatline' was when he had an intelligent conservative on his show.

. . .of course it is nice to for MSNBC to reaffirm where it's heart is re our 'flag' et al. . .in so many words. . .It's the ratings stupid'. . .

[Carolinamom]

So Donahue thinks he coulda been a contender.........HAHA

[ohiobushman]

Hey Donahore,Shut the"F" up and toke some more from your bong.

[bvw]

Mike Savage plans to be gonzo and pull them in. My bet is he will.
