MSNBC tried a bold experiment this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the anchor chair to lead the cable news channels coverage of the election.
That experiment appears to be over.
After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will remain as analysts during the coverage.
The change which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle is a direct result of tensions associated with the channels perceived shift to the political left.
The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into whats supposed to be straight news programming, said Davidson Goldin, formerly the editorial director of MSNBC and a co-founder of the reputation management firm DolceGoldin.

10. I called them and told them that this country, ran by the assistance of a
General Electric is now a facist country. I told them that yes, I am ashamed of what our country is becoming, and that they are already responsible for the Bush/Cheney ticket and the fact that they took us to war.

Olberfuhrer and Der Tingler have been Palinized!
Whoo Hoo!

Now they can be put directly on Obama’s payroll without ethics problems.
I heard something like that as well.
ROFLMAO!
A thousand deaths upon RNCNBC!
I love the smell of liberal flop sweat in the morning. It smells like ... Victory!
sofadude (in honor of the First Dude of Alaska), I can’t figure out what they are out of...is it anchors for the debates, the election.
I assume they are letting them keep their hideous programs, yes?
It appears that they think Gregory is best able to maintain a pretense ala mode de Russert.
I wonder what their viewer will have to say about this.
I would say America has been PALINIZED :)
THANK GOD AMERICA STILL BELONGS TO WE THE PEOPLE..AND NOT THE MEDIA.
GOOD BYE CHRISSY AND KEITH
Just when you think liberals can't come up with ONE good idea -- boom -- there it is...
Don’t forget the tetanus shot and antibiotics. Who knows what vermin lives in that septic tank.
What makes David Gregory any less ‘incendiary’?
Happened to have DU open, don’t know my way around over there very well but couldn’t find anything.
I was reading earlier how upset they were that Sarah was going to talk to ABC as her first interview, upset that Charles Gibson would give her “softballs”. “Too bad she couldn’t get a real interview, like from Chris Matthews or Bill Maher”. Hehe, I thought it would be fun to see their response but I don’t see anything yet.

Wonder if they felt the tingle in their leg.
Wonder if he found a wife yet? He gave an interview to a magazine where he said he doesn’t have a job, lives with his mum and reads the koran all day while praying to allah for a wife.
