Olberman signs off from Countdown

[Dr.House]

You are just not considering all the implications.

I am firm in my political convictions and need no reinforcement. Hence I avoid the talking head shows.

and you assume i'm not?

Not necessarially you, but you seem to be defending those who are not.

How ironic of you....

 

[DiveCon]

Now I'm no fan of MSNBC, or Keith Olbermann. I can't stand any of those types of shows-they ultimately tell you what to think-all of them do. But their ratings aren't hurting as much as FoxNews likes to pretend:

Not amazing ratings-but for MSNBC to beat CNN is impressive.

yeah
how bad of us

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/20...gan-gets-little-help-from-ricky-gervais/79685

when CNN and MSNBC combined dont equal FNC alone their ratings are wonderful

LOL, think back to what I posted on why FNC has higher viewership numbers.

there are a lot of libs that watch FNC just to find something to twist and bitch about
half the time when i watch FNC, its just to see if what they are bitchin about is actually true

Comcast's takeover of NBC will be the end of what little "liberal media" there is on television.

There will be nothing left but corporate funded public relations spin groups....ie.....FoxNews.

Thank God for the Internet.

They haven't taken control of that yet.

At what point do we start calling Fox News "mainstream," and call them out?

What "little" liberal media???? Assuming that Comcast's ownership of NBC would actually change their reporting...

ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, PBS is only a 'little' liberal media?

wow... fucking delusional. I guess being used to a near total monopoly has made your understanding of minority status a bit lacking.

The rest of the media is left wing......just not as socialist as MSNBC. To actually think that the media is not "liberal" is plain old delusion on your part.

Thank God for the Internet.

To be quite honest, I'm going to miss Olberscum.

He was very effective at discrediting the left.

MSNBC is owned by Comcast which is run by a former Bush aide. It won't be liberal for long.

CNN is totally lame. Hardly liberal at all. The Tea Party gets more air time on CNN than anybody.

ABC? Lame as well.

CBS alright, I'll give you that one. But pretty weak.

And PBS? Are you serious? Sesame Street is liberal media?

Who's being delusional now?

that would depend on if you are right wing, left wing or realistic.

When the media, with the exception of Fox, fails to report that there are communists, radicals, and revolutionaries in and or near the white house and government, then you know where the rest of the media stands.........

The notions of net neutrality were started to be raised and Comcast was sighted as the prime mover of shifting information on the internet to weigh favorably in the favor of those who lined their pockets. Information was literally transferred from one entity to another to weigh in the favor of whom Comcast wanted it weighted. It took a doctor in Oregon to figure out what they were doing. Comcast got called on the carpet- somewhat- and paid a puny fine. But their fingerprints were all over it.

They stacked an FCC meeting once by paying people on the street to fill the room at a public FCC hearing- cheering for Comcast’s side. When a reporter asked the guy why he was cheering, he fessed up that Comcast had bought him and others to come in to cheer for Comcast.

The worst is the Barry Nolan story. He was a guy who had been an entertainment reporter for a long time- on big networks- and ran a show for a few years for Comcast Network. Well, lo and behold Comcast was going to give Bill O’Reilly a journalism award in Boston (to boost Comcast’s image and ratings in Boston) and Nolan got incensed. He said as much. He went to the dinner award ceremony but did not clap when O’Reilly was given this award and got up and left after that. O’Reilly and Murdoch wrote a letter to Comcast’s President… and Nolan was fired the next day.

 

[Big Fitz]

Just sharpening the edges on your delusionality I see.

CNN is lame... and liberal.

ABC, lame does not preclude their liberal politics.

CBS, weak, yes they are. and getting weaker every week. Suck on that alliteration Chrissie.

As for Comcast making any news/editorial changes in their new property, we'll see. Till then, they're still liberal.

the fact that they are not as psychotically liberal as you does not make them any less liberal.

PBS, yes. I've watched specials aimed at teen children designed to push the 'virtues' of socialism, whittle away at parents rights and the concept of the nuclear family. Bill Moyers is about as whacked out liberal as they come and their idea of balanced reporting is to have a liberal of each race talking about how conservatism sucks.

Don't crap on my plate and claim it's a cupcake.

yeah, we can't have intellectual equality in media. Liberal ideology just can't compete in the free market of thought. Face it. "Net Neutrality" and "Fairness Doctrine" are only tools to try to enforce the liberal control over media and shut down dissent.

READ:UPDATE 3-MSNBC and anchor Keith Olbermann abruptly part ways | Reuters



"Olbermann had two more years on contract with MSNBC

* Suspended briefly in November for donations to Democrats

* No reason given for move (Adds MSNBC, Comcast spokesmen, details, background)

By Alex Dobuzinskis

LOS ANGELES, Jan 21 (Reuters) - U.S. cable news television network MSNBC and its top anchor, Keith Olbermann, abruptly parted ways on Friday, less than three months after the liberal broadcaster was suspended for campaign donations to Democrats.

Olbermann, who had two years left on his contract, signed off for the last time on his "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" political affairs program on Friday night.

"This is the last edition of "Countdown," Olbermann said on the program, which drew over 1 million viewers a night.

"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract," the network said in a statement. Neither Olbermann nor MSNBC gave a reason for the move."


8. Yeah is was a move, or movement,..in the literal sense.
9. Some one turn on an exhaust fan will you!

Ain't that the truth. Thats why you don't see any successful progressive talk radio programs. Its hard to make convincing arguments for progressivism for 3 hours a day.

They have to stick to 10 minute stories on a hour tv program with other elitists echoing their very own thoughts.
