MSNBC removed Olbermann and Matthews as news anchors, it seems there was too much commentary and not enough news, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, had been in the anchor chair, will remain as analysts.
I wonder if that sent a tingle up Matthews leg.
-
you mean they lost their shows? hardball, and olberman's whatever show? what did they say?
-
Nah, they've just banned them from covering political events. They still have their shows.
LOL, they're so biased even the NBC brass finally noticed!
The change reflects tensions between the freewheeling, opinionated MSNBC and the impartial newsgatherers at NBC News. Throughout the primaries and summer, MSNBC argued that Olbermann and Matthews could serve as dispassionate anchors on political news nights and that viewers would accept them in that role, but things fell apart during the conventions
-
they're so biased
isn't everyone?
-
Sure, everyone has some bias.
But those two are soooooo biased they got canned as anchors. :lol

The country has conservative media (Fox News, talk radio) as well as liberal media (most of the rest). Curiously, whereas the conservative media know they are conservative, much of the liberal media believe themselves to be neutral.

I read that this morning and lol'd, (is that even a word? my daughter uses it all the time :lol)
Doesnt really matter to me anyway, I dont watch'em.

I cannot stand Keith Olbermann. Either in sports broadcasting or "NEWS".
He is the most arrogant personality on TV or Radio. He thinks he knows everything, and everyone else just needs to listen to him.
What a jerk!!
-
never even heard of them.
-
Awesome. :aok

As long as he continues on Countdown I'm still moderately fine with it :).

olbermann is a twit who makes orielly look sophisticated and sauve.

Now there's an Idea.. do a cage fight with oblerman and oreely. 'fair & bloody'.

they arent any more biased than limbagh, Oreily, and the likes, but then again I guess those dont have prime time analyst jobs either.
-

this is a moronic statement. I'm not a big olberman fan at all, I hate his rants, they're immature, but to give Oreilly any stance against anyone is pretty stupid. Oreilly is beyond help, and that has nothing to do with his politics. He is a sexist pervert hipocrite, the worst type of man.

The only fair non biased way to do it is to have 1 liberal v 1 conservative and let them go at it. IE hannity and colmes.

Colmes is a eunuch.

crossfire was good for that. I do agree.

yup.
O'Reilly vs Olberman would be a show I'd watch. Just to enjoy seeing O'Reilly get castrated.
-
yup.

wonder which one would not do it because of, "something came up" or some other lame reason. Who is teh biggest coward, Oreilly or olbermann?
-
yup.

By Olberman?
Now THAT is funny. :rofl

Wow, sounds just like Rush or O'Rielly. Go figure.

:lol
What a Bozo. Everytime I look at him all I can see is Ted Baxter.
(Don't much like O'Reilly anymore either. Getting too big for his britches.)

NO, dont care for those 2 a bunch either, I dont like anyone one sided as nobody has all the answers, nor does one party versus the other party.
you definately sound one sided though.

The difference is that Limbaugh, O'rielly and the likes don't CLAIM to be unbiased like the "mainstream" media does. Limbaugh has never claimed to be anything more than a cheerleader for the Conservative movement. Sean Hannity is the same way. They come right out and tell you they're biased. I don't understand how so many can't see this one glaringly obvious fact.

Nothing worth hearing.
Their ratings were horrible.
Kinda like Air America.

Are you serious? Once oblemann started his hate bush ranting and shooting spittle out like the lunatic he is Oreilly would simply throttle him into submission :rofl
-
I dunno Yeag.. he'd likely just bloviate.
;)
-
They canned 'em because of their record low ratings. NBC may be way out in left field but they still gotta pay the bills.
-
The best even-handed REASONAble discourse I ever see comes from the FOX 'roundtable' , in the last 20 min of weekday 6:00 news (and last 30 min of the Sunday AM show) 2 conservatives, 2 liberals, noone shouting the other down, just points of view from both sides of the fence. ABC Sunday comes reasonably close, but George Will isn't a debater. 'Capitol Gang' is a frikkin joke, bunch of like-minded liberals discussing issues of the day, NBC HAD Russert, who leaned left, am I missing any?

What? lol
"We report, you decide"?
"Fair and Balanced"?
"No Spin Zone"?
No, the Conservatives don't claim to be mainstream or unbalanced at all... :lol
I don't like Olbermann or O'Reilly. Not at all. They're almost exactly the same IMO.

There's a difference between Commentators and Reporters. Commentators know they are biased. They tell you they are biased. They probably tell you what they are biased for.
Rush Limbaugh is a commentator, not a reporter.
Also, Combes is a dog with no bite. He's so leashed when Hannity is around, but goes nuts whenever he has the show to himself.
-
yup.

:D "Whittlin' knives and willow switches..." or "brass knuckles and bootheels..."
I don't watch either of them so I'll just bet on the meanest looking one!

<snipped image of Ben Stein>
Bueller... Bueller...
That guy is such an idiot and for someone that claims to be as intelligent as he is, he really is a dumbarse to boot.
He actually tried to sue a company I used to work for (Sony Online Entertainment) because of one of our games (Everquest). His (at the time) 17 year old son was an avid EQ player and his constant playing caused his grades to go down. To keep his son from playing the game, Ben Stein sent him off to a boarding school (allowed the son to take his computer) to 'cure' him of his addiction. Well, since the kid still had his computer, he kept playing and IIRC, failed out of school. So Ben Stein sued SOE claiming we caused his son's addiction and did nothing to prevent him from accessing the game and instead fed his addiction with weekly newsletters and the like. Thankfully, the jury realized it was a case of bad parenting and ruled in SOE's favor. Mention EQ or SOE with earshot of Ben Stein and he'll go ballistic.
