Olbermann's exit from MSNBC

Keith Olbermann ended his run on MSNBC's Countdown last night. I'll miss him (great sense of humor) although I'm sure he'll resurface soon.

I don't think he'll be missed by everyone on this board. Any thoughts?

With Beck gone, Olberman's presence is not necessary.

That is my understanding-- go ahead and search it. I didn't watch, what I saw was so sickening. I am angry enough-- don't need crap like that making it worse.

I think I heard that one of the larger NYC radio stations dropped his show (something like that). I don't remember hearing FOX had dropped him. One can hope, though.

I just went looking. Found some recent videos, condemning those who try to silence dissent, and saying that man can govern himself.

<quizzical look> Thank you, Glenn. I really don't think you meant that, but thanks anyway. Evidently he has been ordered to become more moderate. By whomever.

Wonder if he thought the new owner Comcast would be hostile to him?

I'm glad Olberman is gone, he was a disgrace to truthfulness and good news.
When your entire show is nothing but bearing false witness of conservatives you're a sad man.
Liberals and anti-mormons, two pees in the same dishonorable ideological pod.
