Olberman signs off from Countdown

[Sallow]

Olbermann has had a turbulent relationship with GE for years.

He symbolizes the problem that arises when a major corporation like GE wants to sell advertisers access to the American Left. They must get in bed with a firebrand like Olbermann who pushes an anti-corporate liberal agenda.

As the Comcast merger took shape, Olbermann's fate was sealed. The top brass at Comcast are major contributors to the Republican party. Olbermann's exit has actually been in the works since the Comcast merger was official. It was leaked prior to his November scuffle with the network.

Corporations don't want to pay higher taxes or face strict regulations; therefore, corporations hate the left. MSNBC primetime was the final liberal outlet. You can kiss it goodbye. The American Left will eventually be relegated to a faraway corner of the internet, with all the other carnival exhibits that cannot get funding. Welcome to media consolidation. A handful of mega corporations own all the media and they are slowly erasing the liberal voice.

Fully supported and paid for by Republican corporate masters. All hail the new Plutocracy!

Fact check.

Comcast chief executive Brian Roberts made more than $76,000 in political contributions to Democrats since 2006, compared to $13,500 in contributions to Republicans.
​

Comcast vice president and top lobbyist David Cohen made about $180,000 to Democrats in the same period, compared to $12,000 to Republicans, according to OpenSecrets.org.

Cohen also helped raise more than $6 million for Obama’s election campaign.

There have also been political endorsements. On Thursday, the same day the merger was announced, Roberts expressed his support of Obama’s healthcare package. It was the first time Roberts took a position on the issue. He had been invited to attend the White House job summit that day, but could not make it.

I don't know what you're all so happy about. Keith will show up again. And you all might just hate where he goes next. Maybe you'll wish he'd have stayed on Coundown with MSNBC.

It is one less liberal talking head spouting lies and socialism.

I'm keeping an eye out for him in the most likely locations.

That kinda sucks....I am sorry to say....With the fairness doctrine kicking in soon, in order to balance this out Fox will have to cancel one of their shows.I think FOX will be forced to cancel a show of equal ratings.
Good bye Jack La Lane you and your juice machine show just got the axe.

Does Fox have shows with ratings that low?

 

[Avatar4321]

I wonder if he'll apply at FoxNews....

why would Fox News want him?
they have GOOD ratings

Good point. It probably was his ratings...liberals don't need to be told how to think and therefore no one watched him.

Bill O'Reilly and Beck are safe.

Well, thinking would be a prerequisite before someone can tell you how to think.

 

[Samson]

Just announced that tonight was his last show

Olbermann?

Who?

Is he quitting the Obama Administration too?

 

[Sheldon]

Just like any other rabid shrunken head on cable news, I never watched anything from him beyond a youtube clip. And then proceeded to form my negative opinion based on those possibly out-of-context clips. Oh well. I'm sure he can use Jacksons for blunt wraps.

 

[NYcarbineer]

I saw him a few times. Each time I hated the nasty prissy dishonest fucker.

I defended him against his "time out" for having made political contributions. That rule should apply ONLY to reporters. And even though I detest the fucker, let's get real, he didn't claim to be a "reporter."

Other than the fact that he said the nasty, prissy, dishonest things that lots of libs LIKE, I don't see why he was such a fan favorite (in his limited ratings way) of liberals. I mean, he had the self-aggrandizing sanctimonious liberal thing DOWN cold. But he was a piss poor commentator and of no actual value in analyzing anything real in the world.

Countdown to No Ratings is officially complete. Officially, now: ZERO ratings.

Bwahahahaha! Levin nailed it.

What did he say that wasn't true?

Go back to 2007 to get yourself warmed up, Carby. Olbermann Watch Lists Keith's Top Ten Lies of 2007 | NewsBusters.org

Or BEFORE: Olbermann's War

Or, SINCE: The list is very very long.

Your question is somewhat less than intelligent, Carby.
