Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews
« on: September 08, 2008, 07:38:56 AM »
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.

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

  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 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!!

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

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.
