Olberman signs off from Countdown

MSM is corporate owned and operated and while Olbermann was presumptuous and narcissistic at times, at least it was his story line. Media today is simply corporate propaganda. See this piece if you doubt that. Democracy after Citizens United | MIT World

"....From the very beginning, the Fox News Channel knew what it wanted to be. Rush Limbaugh had shown that there were millions of conservative Americans who were addicted to political news and commentary -- and who despised the traditional broadcast outlets (and also CNN). They weren’t looking for thoroughly reported investigative pieces or in-depth coverage of foreign affairs; they just wanted to hear about the latest Clinton scandal or the latest outrageous statement from some Democratic congressman. The programming they wanted was cheap to produce, and if you gave it to them, they’d be fanatically loyal. "Fair and balanced" was thusly born, and by the turn of the century, Fox was overtaking CNN – and leaving MSNBC in the dust."

....When the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke in early ’98, executives demanded that Olbermann build his show around it; they hoped it might legitimize MSNBC the way the Iran hostage crisis legitimized “Nightline” in 1979 and 1980. But Olbermann resisted and walked away, making his disgust well known. (This kind of exit is his trademark. After he left ESPN, an executive commented that, “He didn't burn bridges here. He napalmed them.")"

Not exactly your "weather bunny", but facts are not a barrier for lefties.
 
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.

Maybe. We'll see. But Keith didn't lie. At least he always had clips of his stories and you saw the right wingers saying or doing exactly what he said they did. So do Rachel and Chris.

How often do the right wing pundits show proof of what they are saying?? Only when it snows in hell.

Want to adjust this or should I just call it a boldfaced lie?

He lied out his ass...Then, when apprised of his lies, he completely refused to correct them.
