Another WTF?
« on: January 21, 2011, 10:00:07 PM »
It was not immediately known if he quit or was fired. Olbermann did not address the question,

Sounds like he got canned   ;D

MSNBC ended its contract with liberal anchor Keith Olbermann, the network said Friday.

Olbermann signed off for the last time on his “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” political affairs program Friday night.

"This is the last edition of 'Countdown'," Olbermann said on the program.

In a statement, the network said:

"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC’s success and we wish him well in his future endeavors."

Neither Olbermann nor MSNBC gave a specific reason for the decision.

His departure came just over two months after MSNBC briefly suspended Olbermann for giving money to three Democratic politicians, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot and wounded in an assassination attempt on Jan. 8 in Tucson, Ariz.

Olbermann’s program helped define MSNBC as a liberal voice in cable television and a counterpoint to Fox News’ largely conservative bent. MSNBC is now second in cable news ratings behind Fox News and ahead of CNN.

I would watch his show and I could only think of the vitriol he was spewing each night. He is a very angry, bitter man. What is ironic to me, is I think he possesses a talent for communicating his point of view in such a way that draws one in to consider. It is a shame that he gave no thought to balance. I don't care if he expresses his POV, but have balance, not just allow those with whom he agrees get to deliver the message.

He and O'Reilly were seperated at birth. Have a view point, bring a guest on and then go off on them in a self righteous tirade without letting them get a word in edgewise. They could use cardboard cut outs ala Conan and get the same results from their "interviews". I Don't understand why people like watching this stuff. Its why I like Maddow. At least she lets the guest talk and make a case. Its why I like Rush's show a lot better when Sowell is guest hosting. As far as Olberman? Good riddance. Hopefully Shultz, O'Reilly and Hannity will follow him.

You know I think Sarah could take olberman two out of three falls.

About Hannity and olberman deserving each other, Allan Colmbs was ALOT more intelligent than olberman,at least made it worth watching.  You do have a point though, Hannity does coming accross a little whiny sometimes

O'Reilly has gotten better. Really. His ratings are also 10X higher than any other talking head.  That self admitted socialist McDonnel, Sgt. Schultz, and our favorite "tingly" guy Chris Matthews are still there.

Where's the "civility"?

Pluuuuueeeeaaaazzzzzzzeeeeeee............ ::)

Libs cannot defend their agenda when confronted with the truth. They are inherently angry, disgruntled folks. Catch Maddow the other night?

I caught the clip, she wouldn't STFU interviewing a Rep. Congressman about gun control.

Hey,......BUT OLBE'S GONE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   He was a true schmuck.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Bill Maher is such a smug A-hole, even if he were on our side I would want to slap him.
