I had a really tough time watching the run-up to Sunday night football today, just because of Douchebag's sorry presence on the panel.

Karma's a bitch a fantastic conservative candidate for VP that undermines all the Left hold dear.

WHEEEEEEEE!

If they wanna keep him on, label the show "opinion".

Same with Chris Matthews, George Stephanopolis, and Bill Moyers... stop moving people directly from democrat administrations into so-called news positions.

He still has a contract for four million a year through 2013. For that kind of money I would expect some really fine analysis which Olbermann is clearly incapable of. MSNBC is losing money over this....

'Hopefully, this is the first step toward tossing him out on his ear rear.'

re: #3 rorschach

That Tony Cornholder guy is irritating also. He always brings politics into the conversation.

Unfortunately Charles, the NY Times article states NBC is extending Overbites contract through 2013.

Smell that, my friends? That is the smell of sweet, sweet poetic justice.

"Change" we can believe in.

The change — which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle — is a direct result of tensions associated with the channel’s perceived shift to the political left.

Analyst.
I don't think they know the meaning of the word.

BD$ defined.

Olbermann will insist he is right, and everyone else is wrong. Obviously we just don't get it!

and above all they are losing money for their employer.

re: #11 Sharmuta

The attack dog gets sent to the pound. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

is that velveeta or limburger cheese dripping down his leg? and the other guy?

I used to like watching Olberasshole on ESPN, but ever since he switched to "news", he has been nothing but condescending, arrogant and usually 100% wrong on everything. He is the prototypical "progressive"...so smug and so confident in his "belief system"......too bad that he and his ilk are so far off base (to use one of his old metaphors)......I hate him now, he is the worst guy on TV. MSNBC is also the worst too....I would rather get my "news" from
anywhere but PMSNBC

“The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into what’s 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.

Talk about a master of the obvious. Still, remarkable seeing this quote come from a newschan higher-up.

But he's just like Murrow. This makes no sense.

Sarah bags another couple big dumb animals!

I can't even watch the halftime show on NBC tonight without getting nausea.

I am disappointed though. This was the clearest case of liberal bias, so obvious that it was UNDENIABLE. Now we have to parse through words and the unbelievers will think MSNBC is purging bias. Its the small admission to cover up the big crime strategy. As much as I hate the guy, he made my job easier to point out faux news on MSNBC and CNN.

David Gregory is only slightly better. I predict no bump for PMS-NBC.

they think because they are loud and obnoxious they are relevant.
the new barometer for relevance is sarah palin.
she is why they are toast.

Want to start a pool on who's next in the MSM?

*snuffle* *snuffle* The tingle is gone.

maybe they'll get Stuart Smalley if he loses his bid

Oh, I am so sorry about this, Olb—MSNBC is censoring the news.

/Sucks to be you.

Yeah, I perceived it went just a tad left, subtle though it was. It was so far in left field Mao had no chance.

Ear, rear, it's all the same for Olbernutt.

The NYT imploding and now this. Markets are not perfectly efficient but like democracy they are better than any alternative idea at getting to decent result. Want more pressure on the Times. No subscription or expenditure on their behalf by the government. Proud of McCain for apparantly telling CNN to get stuffed.

Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams, the past and present anchors of “NBC Nightly News,” have told friends and colleagues that they are finding it tougher and tougher to defend the cable arm of the news division, even while they anchored daytime hours of convention coverage on MSNBC and contributed commentary each evening.

You know it's bad when you're embarrassing the big guys.

Anybody want to troll around for the inevitable rabid, off-your-meds ranting in HuffDUKosistan?

re: #26 Lyric

The very top story gots this little gem:

The cynicism that led to the "Southern Strategy" is not the identical cynicism that chose Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate. But it contains the same DNA. It springs from the same do-any-unprincipled-thing-to-win-and-keep-winning- no-matter-what philosophy, the political gene that has guided too many politicians, modern and ancestral.

The party that defeated the Equal Rights Amendment, that has whittled away women’s reproductive choices for 35 years, that obstructs gender pay equity, despises sports equity, worked to sabotage affirmative action, objects to guaranteed family leave, panders to right-wing religionists’ views of women, wants to invade women's privacy, thinks violence against women isn’t worthy of legislation, and embraces at almost every opportunity to maintain the "traditional" role for women in society, now dares present itself as the party of feminist enlightenment.

Not necassarily so. Looked to me like the article said they were negotiating to do the extension when this came up. OLberman may have cost himself up to $25 Million. Nice work if you can get it.

I was going to see what it took to have MSNBC labeled as an agent of the democratic party.

I watched some of their coverage. When Olby and Blathews came on and started to talk, I immediately muted them. Or switched the channel. MSNBC advertisers, please note that.

NBC jinked hard and fast to the left. Even ditching these losers won't bring them back to centrist non-partisan. There are many more they need to ditch.

There is a God.

Hey, Lizards!

Which every hatchling has bar duty slid a cold one on down.

Tonight while fixing dinner one of the boys came through the kitchen with his toy garbage truck stuffed full of Little People figures!

Soylent Green is People!

Keith Olbermann has such a massive ego, I don't see how he can take this lying down. Will he quit? Or will he just adopt a bad attitude and badmouth NBC executives in private to anyone who will listen, but pretend to be a loyal employee? Yeah, that's it.

Chris Matthews, on the other hand, is a little bitch. (For example, look at how he "danced" with Ellen). He will take whatever NBC gives him.

Olbermann is in the trash like an American flag after a Democratic convention.

re: #190 DeepThroat

There is a God.

MSM coverage evolves!

*ducks*

Bathtub Boy back in the bath for a few days. I bet John Gibson's show will be fun tomorrow.

I almost can't watch him. Too douchey. I'd even watch O'Reilly rather than him, and Hannity!

Olbermann and Matthews are twin pieces of dog shit. Both spew the kook-left line with all kinds of passion, both slam any success for this country as a Bush/Cheney/Rovian conspiracy, both lick the ass of the Daily K, Huffer 'web communities'.
...and both are whores. Becuase neither one believe any of the crap they drool out.

I recommend a close listen to John Gibson and Mark Levin tomorrow.

Piss off, assholes. Good riddance.

With Work like this I can't why these journalists were let go....

Right down the middle, just as one would expect.

It's akin to the Battle of Agincourt, or Hannibal on Rome. This is the stuff of history.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers ....

re: #188 gymnast

But, but, but wasn't Olbermann (generally) accurate when he broadcast the scores of football and basketball games? ... the bookies never complained about Olbermann's ability to report a score accurately. ...

Even then, Keith's acidic 'wit' and huge ego got him in trouble wherever he went. The betting when he left ESPN was that he'd finish his career giving the Best Damn Sports Segment Bozeman Ever Saw...

re: #123 Mich-again

Letterman won't get the axe, but probably read a riot!

Can you believe how the political environs have changed in the last 10 days?

It is almost overwhelming that the guy we were dreading to place in the oval office because of his habit of leaving conservatives holding the bag while he crossed the aisle so many times has created the biggest meltdown and most successful offensive against the liberal establishment in many years. His selection of VP was the MOAB of political stagnation.

He sensed, and rightly so, the "silent" majority was looking for an outlet and it was going to be either through him or with him. He choose wisely.

And I am just loving it.....

The tip of the iceberg.

David Gregory: Yeah, that's fair and balanced. (Pigs flying overhead)

That "pop" you just heard was Obama's carriage turning back into a pumpkin.

re: #200 PSGInfinity

Keith Olbermann :

Olbermann narrated over a headline reel of the September 9, 2006(?) Buffalo Bills/Denver Bronco game with an odd word-play involving a black wide receiver’s first name:

"With the Denver drive having stalled, Roscoe Parrish on the punt return. Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles at its finest. He could go the entire distance and does and it’s seven-zip Bills."re:

good riddance

[Link: www.phrases.org.uk...]

Jesus Keith, get a shovel.

Absolutely fantastic news. I only wish we could rub it in his nose.

Um, hello? DAvid Gregory? He is JUST AS BAD. Left wing hack. Geez.

re: #138 aunursa

Anyone wanna bet that the NBC exec who made this decision will be named the Worst Person in the World tomorrow?

I wonder whether Keith will show tomorrow night. I would not be at all surprised to hear that he called out sick--which, of course, WOULD be true.

as a GE employee, I must say, this is a positive step. Now if they would just kill the whole network, I would really be happy.

how many hours has Keith stared into the mirror fondly knowing that he is the next big thing.....

....maybe even more powerful than the GD President himself!

Oh thank god they yanked his sorry ass. I have been so tired of listening to Mr. Sportscenter bloviate about how evil republicans are while his heroes who run the house and senate have a lower approval rating than Dubya.

Hopefully this will help NBC in the long run. I have always had a pretty favorable view of Brokaw and Brian Williams and I think they make a good faith effort to report news and give a non-partisan analysis. At times during the conventions, you could almost see the two of them grimace every time they tried to raise a point or make a comment which was quickly followed by Olbermann shooting off his yap hole followed by Matthews trying to one up him in Obama-praise.

It was almost like a death match between olbermann and matthews to see which one could ride a larger unicorn er.....obamacorn:)

I will miss KO in the same way I miss Saved By the Bell. It was so bad it was IMPOSSIBLE not to watch.

I was a big fan of Olbermann and Patrick on ESPN, even if he did come off snotty, I didn't mind... I'm the same way sometimes. And I used to watch Countdown just as an occasional counterpoint to BO'R. But the complete dropping of any charade of balance was shocking and, worst of all, boring. Like when Maher can't get a conservative guest on Real Time. What's the fun in watching a bunch of people bash the same point over and over? None is what.

And did anyone else catch Maddow calling Palin a "laugh out loud" pick about, oh, 7 days ago? It is AWESOME watching the Left implode. The only thing that could possible have been better--- McCain/ Rice '08.

I also say that MSNBC should yank Matthews if he refers to Obama as a young Lincoln or JFK.

Good riddance - That guy was totally unsufferable.

re: #211 cblesz

Um, hello? DAvid Gregory? He is JUST AS BAD. Left wing hack. Geez.

Excuse me, you might correct you post to read "Left wing DRUNKEN hack" as he was seldom sober when calling in to speak with the formerly drunken Don Imus prior to the cancellation of Imus's network radio show. David Gregory is a high profile "left wing snark artist" that is about .02% BAC from oblivion.

Wait - so Obermann was serious the whole time he was spewing his relentless, psychotic lunacy? I thought they just had him in there as a comic relief caricature of an Angry Left activist!

How has someone as dense as I am made it to the age of 44?

David "sloppy seconds" Gregory?

eeew.

I had no idea what a clown Olberman had become until I started watching some of NBC's election coverage this year. I only did that because I heard what a disgrace it has been. I don't think I've watched MSNBC of my own accord for years. This guy is truly an ass. He's one of the worst of the self righteous media hacks out there. He's even beneath NBC News. Dump him completely.

What a shame. I was hoping he'd cling to his post long enough to drive MSNBC into single digit ratings ...

I really hate Olberman's approach. I don't care about his politics but his "I'm angry because I understand and care and the rest of you don't" approach really annoys me. Letterman and Stewart too. The over-the-top facial expressions ...gah!

re: #213 jaxgtr

as a GE employee, I must say, this is a positive step. Now if they would just kill the whole network, I would really be happy.

What do you think of the current GE Chairman and CEO, Jeff Immelt?

And he's a lily-livered coward to boot:

Some staff members said the tension led to the network’s decision to keep Mr. Olbermann in New York for the Republican convention, after he ran the desk in Denver during the Democratic convention. MSNBC said that he stayed in New York to anchor coverage of Hurricane Gustav. But some workers say there were other reasons — namely, that Mr. Olbermann was concerned about his safety in St. Paul, given the loud crowds at MSNBC’s set in Denver.

Awwww, take heart Keith... You still have your diary over on DailyKos to lead you into complete irrelevance.

This news is as good as the big 0 losing the election.
I truly h0pe Olbermann got heavily sacked, as in T-bagged.

Goodness gracious, mercy me, it is indeed sweet to see these people get their comeuppance.

As I noted during the denver debacle at Invesco, there are few things that present greater threats to national security than 84,000 people with IQs between 115-118.

Sounds like MSNBC just downgraded 236 points' worth of intelligence.

I know it's a dead thread, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I wondered when MSNBC would realize what an unhinged lunatic he really was. I was passing by his show some time back and he kept saying "here kitty, kitty" with a crazed look in his eye was someone giggled hysterically off-camera. That they have to pay for his (and their own) stupidity for another 7 years is just icing on the cake.

amazing that they've actually admitted the bias.

A lot to smile about tonight. I am soooo glad we won't be subjected to the Worst Person In The World and his hyperbolic tingly-legged sidekick. David Gregory has given the WH hell at press gaggles, but he is somewhat more mature now and at least decent on air.

The first time I saw Olberman I thought he was joking. I thought it was a "bit". But the bit kept going on and on and getting more intense, one sided, ludicrous, and at times it was even contradictory.

He sounded like Lyndon Larouche telling the Queen of England that she ought to be ashamed of being the biggest drug pusher in Europe. He sounded like Alex Jones on the phone with some sleepy sounding post master in Utah telling him that he was a filthy, terrorist, UN, Trilateral, illuminati thug trying to hide the truth that Alex and David Ickes had discovered about chemtrails for his secret Bilderberger masters by not delivering DVD orders. He sounded like a Narcissistic bipolar who was a half inch away from being pretty sure that he was Jesus 2.0. He sounded like a John Bircher in the middle of a particularly wierd rant only coming from the other poltical extreme.

It was probably the most retarded, misguided, ridiculous thing I've ever seen done by a "serious" commentator. And I've seen O'Reilly at interviewing Alf, asking some lady fashion-trapped in early 1986 about the on camera body language of somebody he sent a mobile camera guy to esentially bitch out about something O'reilly didn't like, and shaking his fist at the secret oil cartel badguys who supposedly unilaterally synchronize the prices of the oil market according to this guy at his gas station. I've seen Dan Rather asking George Bushs' deceased commanders secretary if in her opinion a faxed word document supposedly written on a super type writer in '74 was legitimate and beaming with vindication when she said yed, I believe it is and lateer STILL trying to hang on by his fingernails with "fake but accurate".

Olberman really takes the cake. He is the high-king weirdo of the "newz" biz.

I kind of wish MTV'd come along and give the guy puppets, props, a green screen compositing FX crew, and a live band and just let him go nuts for an hour. And when he says something completely daft they could show a brief canned reaction shot of Gilbert Gottfried scratching his head or shrugging having his jaw go slack in amazement.

And by the by I think Glenn Beck is a bit corny and seems to be sort of a half ass wanna be limbaugh-esque pastiche of energetic but charismaless lameness. I feel he is some sort of android built by a cabal of academic-liberals from Berkely (the nice ones who like to see the guy in the giant penis hat with flashing lights who is out protesting "conflict coffee" by flipping off the police but don't like to see him hurling debris at police or trying to punch them in the junk) to conduct humane and ethical socialization experiements on the mysterious red-state.

Now I don't believe that, but I DO feel it. And that is why I don't make political decisions based on my feelings alone.

I was gonna stiff MCCain on the vote. But when Obama said he was gonna get the US economy off of foriegn oil in ten years without increasing local production massively or building nukes I knew defeating him was well worth supporting McCain. Palin seems to be unexpected icing on the cake. And it's fun watching her make the highly agressive dominant left stop their two year and six month inevitable victory charge in TWO DAYS. That "styrofoam columns" line was apt and awesome. The 40 million viewers (including PBS) slam was double fudge supreme awesome with walnuts and mint crushin's.

For a sullen, bitter, quasi-castrated, gentled Republican awaiting my certain political doom (we left the cities and dwelt alone in the barren places for an age eating small lizards and the foul bitter flesh of road squished serpents. Scorpians were a special treat that we called bite sized-sand-lobsters but we had no butter to dip them in. ) it has been a really good week to watch TV and I had a cold for most of it.

Baby steps, soon he'll be off of TV forever!

Oberman. What a butt-chunk.

And there was much rejoicing!

Olbermann a disgrace?!? Shirley you jest.

It's like when the tower exploded at the end of LOTR.--the Great Eye panicking for a couple of seconds as it fell, then BLAMO! I'll bet Olberboyy had that same look in his eye. Taking a moment to bask in the sweet, sweet shock waves. Like Gimli...

OK, back to work.

David Gregory is much more subtle in his intense hatred for Bush and the right.

Olbermann may be a deranged lefty but that sells. Don't expect to see him out anytime soon. The relevant bit from the nyt article:

As Mr. Olbermann raised his voice, his ratings rose as well, and he now reaches more than one million viewers a night, a higher television rating than any other show in the troubled 12-year history of the network. As a result, his identity largely defines MSNBC. “They have banked the entirety of the network on Keith Olbermann,” one employee said.

The Left can't cope when reality doesn't meet their preconceptions. Look at the popularity of "The West Wing" as an example. Olbermann is just one more place for escapist fantasy for these perpetually immature child-men and child-women.

To rehash Colbert...

Justice has a well known conservative bias.

Olbermann has no business being associated with “news” at all. He’s a disgrace. Hopefully, this is the first step toward tossing him out on his ear.

A little harsh - I think you are discrediting ears. He should be tossed out on his "Chris Matthews." Or is it the other way. No matter interchangeable parts.

I hope they don't think about replacing them with Rachel Madcow, Keith's new protege.

I just got a chill up my leg at this news!

OlberFAIL!

It ain't like David Gregory is any better, it's just that he has, like you know, asked a question of the President, from like, actually inside the White House in the press room.
At least I think he has asked a question. Most of the time he seems to be filibustering.

re: #7 LoFlyer

He still has a contract for four million a year through 2013. For that kind of money I would expect some really fine analysis which Olbermann is clearly incapable of. MSNBC is losing money over this....

More like they're taking a bath on this.

*rimshot*

From the article:

The success of the Fox News Channel in the past decade along with the growth of political blogs have convinced many media companies that provocative commentary attracts viewers and lures Web browsers more than straight news delivered dispassionately.

The lefties in the media really believe Fox News is Bill O'Reilly 24/7, don't they? I for one despise Bill O'Reilly for the same reason I despise Keith Olbermann. He's a rabid political hack. No, I turn to Fox News, when Bill O'Reily's show isn't on, to GET "straight news delivered dispassionately". It's the only channel that will still give you the news, much of which other channels try to spike.

Dang - too bad. From the way he was going, I was hoping to see him start foaming at the mouth and twitching before falling backwards in his chair.

The latest issue of National Review has an extensive article about how K/O is driving MSNBC and its parent corporation, NBC, even further left than where it is now.

re: #22 Nightlight

andrea mitchell must think she's next

[Link: newsbusters.org...]

Is it just me or does Andrea Mitchell look like Charlie McCarthy in drag? (she IS a media puppet, after all)

Olbermann is there for the demographic which has aged out of the Howard Stern set. He's supposed to be Bill Maher Lite and works really hard at being outrageous because he can't say "f***" every other word. I'll be glad when the current administration is out of DC, Olbermann won't have any material, and he'll be off the air.

what are these blow-hard left-wing hacks going to do when George W leaves office?

David Gregory.

He's a left-wing hack too. He just hides it a little better.
*ugh* - - It's the shuffling of the left-wing hacks and MS-DNC.

re: #123 Mich-again

David Letterman might be the next casualty of the Palin purge.

Oh, PLUHEEAASE let it be so! That guy has just gotten creepy (well, not "Larry Flynt" creepy, but creepy all the same).

humm when I heard this news I felt a tingle run up my brain.

/yes moonbats WE have them..

It will be great to see his face though - when McCain/Palin romps home to easy victory.

After 2004 I sincerely thought the Democrats would get all introspective and analyse exactly why they lost so badly to president that everyone told us was stupid, violent and woefully unpopular.

I though the Dems would see that the far left, Michael Moore running Fahrenshite 9/11 on TV the night before election, all the venal Kos crap, Cindy Sheehag etc. was dragging them down. That it wasn't just the elitist, champagne socialist delegate they put up.

This time, I expected the DNC to shove all the lefties out of the window and nominate a blue dog.

Hell no - they just intensified the liberal crap and picked and even more elisist, further left candidate.

Don't they ever learn?

Their sort of person only makes up a maximum of 13% of the electorate (if the loopy choices chosen on opinion polls are anything to go by).

The rest of the Democratic party are straightforward blue collar guys who'll play along only so far.

They'll get out and vote for Obysmal in the same way we would for McCain - 'cept we've got Palin now - so they are rather stuffed.

maybe next time, huh?

re: #254 FrogMarch

what are these blow-hard left-wing hacks going to do when George W leaves office?

they, the Hollywood left and the kos kids are going to keep on ballsing it up for any future nominees - until the Democratic Party realise that left wing stupidity & elitism don't play too well in a country where 90% of the voters hate left wing stupidity and elitism.

but don't tell them

It only took MSNBC.... how long? I guess the heat and ratings were getting too bad.

I really hate the voice that Olbermann concocted for his "news gig." It's so over the top.

"Buh-Bye, Mr. Buuuusssssshhhhhhhhh."

On a related topic, what will all those folks do with their "01-20-09" bumper stickers if McCain-Palin win?

Those suckers don't come off very easily after they've been on for 4 years.

I'm printing up a bunch that say "Obama-wa-ha-ha".

If anyone in advertising is reading this, be informed ... The pre-game & halftime NBC Sports broadcast of the Colts-Bears game had (A shill for ObmaUH .. uh ... uhh) Olbermann on and so, I'd CHANGE channels whenever he is on. MSNBC? Another reason I find NO reason to procure cable.

Who needs a fairness doctrine - just let market forces sort everything out. MSNBC (or their accountants) finally realized the hard reality that bias = decreased market share = lower share value = smaller executive bonuses = Buh Bye Oberman.

I don't really worry about Olbermann's bias - I'd like to see numbers that he actually does any good for the Left. I think he's a symptom of the Bush-bashing more than a cause, and given time, he looks awfully silly.

That having been said, I hate that he pollutes the airwaves. A friend blogged about the plight Olbermann causes him at length.

re: #83 Desert Dog

You mean the Indian Channel? Haven't seen that in years....

Replacing Keith Olbermann with David Gregory is like replacing Michael Moore with Al Franken.

re: #267 Pickle

Replacing Keith Olbermann with David Gregory is like replacing Michael Moore with Al Franken.

I second that notion.

I really really want to see Olbermann have a new career... I'm thinking a sports debating circuit, where he and Jimmy the Greek debate professional sports at Elks' Lodges around the country.

What took NBC so long? Correcting such an obvious blunder this late in the game provides even more proof as how poorly things are run at MSNBC. This resolves nothing. Adding Mr. Temper Tantrum (David Gregory) is no improvement, Please. What, is David Gregory going to freak out like five year old. He used to pull that nonsense with Press Secretary, Scott McSellout.

re: #82 Bobblehead

I wonder what will happen to Matthews' tingle if Obama loses?

It will feel like a lumpy warm jet. He'll have projectile, well you get the idea. his depends won't be nearly strong enough to withstand the onslaught of the ginormous involuntary muscle contractions that will occur in November.
