Days after the FCC approved Comcast’s acquisition of / merger with NBC Universal, the journalism world was given a pleasant & unexpected surprise: MSNBC’s liberal bomb-thrower and consummate liar Keith Olberman has been fired! MSNBC executives claim the merger had no impact on their actions, but I find that rather difficult to accept. Coincidence or not, NBC/Comcast made an excellent decision in releasing that raving left-of-liberal lunatic back into the wild. The only downside is that that “wild” happens to be the society in which we all reside.
There are no shortages of liberal loons at MSNBC to fill in, but Olberman was their leader and the quickest to resort to twisting - and if need be fabricating all of the “facts” needed to “prove” his opinions on the ways of the world. People like him who must sink to such base tactics to “win” the argument must do so because the real facts can not come close to doing so on their own.
How much further “house cleaning” shall occur is unknown, but folks at MSNBC must be alarmed to have found out that Comcast is in the business of making money - not cheer leading for the Democratic Party. No money was being made by giving Olberman an uber-liberal fiefdom of a network to operate as he saw fit. Not long ago Olberman was forcing other MSNBC hosts off the air for daring to challenge his opinion on some small political issue. MSNBC and its dozens of regular viewers were nominally under his control with regard to on air content. How the mighty have fallen.
MSNBC will undoubtedly shuffle their lineup of socialists, lesbians, and leftist blow-hards to minimize disruption, but the effects of Olberman’s dismissal will be impossible to ignore. You know you’re in trouble when your game plan for the future includes the words “Ed Shultz” and “prime time”.
