Olberman Out at MSNBC

[GAVol]

Given his history, this is no surprise. He's never had a very long shelf life no matter where he's been.

I'm not surprised. Lots of speculation about the NBC/Comcast merger being the cause of it.

Not so much... If anything, the GE/NBC/China connection should have made him safer.

I think it is just his personality.

He's still trying to grasp how tides work. When he understands how they work, he'll step down.

I'm not sure that was ever in question.

Olberman. That name is fun to say. Olberman.

I don't believe it, but that was the first thing that I saw all over the internet.

that clown, Lawrence O'Donnell, is replacing Olberman in that time slot. If anything, he's a bigger buffoon than Keith. The fat, red-headed retard Ed Schultz is getting moved to 10pm where he's going to get crushed by Greta Van Susteren.

LG must be furious. How dare Beck, Rush, and Hannity force him to resign with their violent rhetoric. :realmad:

Nah. I did not like his antagonistic style, the sarcasm was over the top, imo. I do like how he kept Fox honest, frequwntly pointing out their inconsitency and bias. But think he'd have had a broader appeal if he weren't so glib.

Agreed.

For what little I watched the news or TV in general, I thought Maddow was better.

I applaud MSNBC for trying to make a buck being the self proclaimed antithesis to Fox News, and I agree with you, LG. If Olberman wasn't such a self important prick he would be ok.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Overplayed his hand in trying to hijack a new contract. Being the top ratings guy in a sewer doesn't make you worth more money.

Seriously, you think Ralph is better? :loco:

There's a lesson here somewhere.....if only I could see through the thick smoke of irony billowing from this post.

i heard he's going to run the head of the GE-china news media.

 

[Gramps]

Starting a new show on Fox, The Hannity-Oberman Report .

 

[BigPapaVol]

I'm certain Fox would welcome him.

 

[joevol320]

do you think he would accept if fox asked him?

 

[BigPapaVol]

no. He actually believes the crap he talks about.
