MSNBC Demotes Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews

 

Responding to criticism that their bias swings WAY too far to the left, the New York Times has reported that Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have been relegated by MSNBC to "analyst" duty for the remainder of the election season.  

Primary anchor duties will be assumed by David Gregory, longtime White House correspondent for NBC.

Olbermann was the subject of a great deal of criticism after he apologized on air for the Republicans after their airing of a 9/11 tribute video at the RNC (watch the clip, his sad excuse for commentary follows).

Matthews, now famous for his "Obama sends a thrill up my leg" comment, has never pretended to be a fair and balanced journalist (or heterosexual, for that matter).

Both had given up trying to be respectable journalists for some time, instead taking on the role of attack dogs for the Democratic Party (poodles make for poor attack dogs).

When Governor Sarah Palin complained about media bias during her acceptance of the VP nomination, convention attendees were heard to chant “N-B-C, N-B-C.” The McCain campaign reportedly filed complaints to the NBC news division regarding their coverage. 

Tens of thousands of viewers also complained, as did a large number of advertisers. 

NBC listened, and has made a huge leap forward as a respectable news outlet as a result.

MSNBC had tried to emulate the success of Fox by offering a more provocative commentary, but failed miserably in their efforts to produce actual facts and intelligent perspective.

Is fair, unbiased, accurate, unspun truth even possible anymore, in this brave new world of mass media and high-stake corporate interests?  Should the media even TRY to pretend to be neutral anymore?

So, good work, NBC.  Put your talent (to use the term loosely) where it belongs.  On that note, tell Olbermann to make mine black, no sugar.

"Who wants to watch Chris squirt himself". Bwahahahaha! Diz, you send a thrill up my leg.

I heard that "Who wants to watch Chris squirt himself" is going to be the newest NBC reality show, now that Chris is out of a news job and has no other place to go.

They were going to make one called "Who wants to see Keith make a fool of himself", but they couldn't financially justify 24-hour coverage of the man.

Hey, Jojo! Me and Dizzee have a thing going...I hope you're not jealous.

I Loved your piece on Dre Bly last night, what a stand-up guy. I love those "human side" segments, efforts like Mr. Bly's should get much more attention than they do.

How 'bout that Eddie Royal? DANG! Folks who had the 41 picks before him were probably saying the same thing last night: DANG! The best part was the way he smoked DeAngelo Hall (who just got a seven-year, $70 million contract from Al Davis) like a cheap cigar.

No wait, the best part was that it was against the Raiders. Startin' to feel kinda sorry for Al's boys. Ok maybe not. The BEST part was the way the young man carried himself during interviews after the game. No gloating, no bragging, no talk about being "Uno-Nueve" or other such nonsense. Just quiet confidence and a devotion to the TEAM. Wow. Guys like that lead teams to Super Bowls.

Glad to have you stop by, Jojo. Love your show. We'll sure miss you when the Network comes calling.

As for you, Truth, the topic wasn't the polls, it was MSNBC. Stay on topic, please. Just kidding, boss (see my adulation of the Broncos' new wideout above...not on topic either ;-). We're keeping up our efforts to make Colorado a red state again, believe it. I hope Texas is treating you well, my friend.

Where are all the libs regarding this issue?? They got caught with thier pants down...well maybe Chris did. I just checked out Olbermann's site (I like to keep myself informed on what the enemy is up to) and his site is still up and he's still spewing his leftist socialist hate for America. When are these morons going to realize that the world doesn't revolve around them?? Maybe they're just arrogant enough to believe that thier explitive doesn't stink. I thought I smelled something...must have been Olbermann's ASS-or his breath, what's the difference? I wish all the bleeding hearts would just leave if they hate this country so much.

I'm a Dad, a construction contractor, a foodie, an artist, and a patriot. I'm also very afraid. I used to live in the United States, but I now reside in latin America (and I never even had to move!). I like to argue current events with facts (along with simple, reasonable human logic). I don't suffer fools gladly, so liberals, please bring your facts (if you have any). I'm a huge Denver sports fan (30 years on the bandwagon), but my favorite teams are, by far, the ones my kids play on.
