Yeah we have a problem when news is all about profit...it's a goddamn shame that integrity and truth take a backseat to sensationalism to appeal to more viewers we end up with morons like glenn beck and sarah palin...what a sad state this country is in...god bless keith olbermann
Olbermann was fired because he his a left-wing nut. Anchors like Beck or O'Reilly aren't going away anytime soon because they have something called viewers. Viewers is a race that is extinct in the land of msnbc.
wow...well, i found countdown way back when and now we have to say goodbye to countdown. so thanks keith. whatever you choose to, it will be great. i'm sure we haven't heard the last of you by a long shot. ;)
Keith is a treasure, and I will miss him. Many will miss him. Were it not for Larry O"Donnell and Rachel Maddow to carry the Liberal torch, I'd say f&^* MSNBC. Comcast will look to evolve MSNBC into Mini-Fox, it's a matter of time. Look at the owners, follow the money and the influence behind Comcast. All I can say is --SHAME.
Bye Keith, I will look for you somewhere where there may still be heart and soul in broadcasting...perhaps too much to hope for.
Pushed or shoved, he's gone. That's all that matters. Perhaps "rants" and "demonizing" are out of style on the left. Hopefully the right will get the message as well. Stick to the issues, that's what the American center longs for. Enough with the cuteness, sensationalism and scare tactics. Let's debate the issues. Perhaps more boring but much more helpful. We need light not heat.
Very sad to he him go. One of the great centre left voices of reason adding enormous value to political discourse. Love him or hate him he makes us think and consider. I for one have been heartened by his forthright and honest views - sometimes too strong, maybe too passionate, too angry at times but there is much to be strong, passionate and angry about in US politics.
Keith, your one of the best and I hope you return again to the screen and airwaves soon.
Well is Rush Limbaugh retiring, NO and he has been on the air since the 80's. Is Glenn Beck Leaving his radio show or Fox News...NO Is Michael Savage retiring soon...NO and he has been banned in England. The New World Order is coming and everyday I am thrilled over it. Republican News and Republican Voices will soon be only voices on the Internet and Talk Radio. Now Fox will have conservative competition soon with CNBC and MSNBC. Remember you libs will be welcomed to the conclusion. BYE.
@galorize12rt "Republican News and Republican Voices will soon be only voices on the Internet and Talk Radio." Wow, what a... democratic.... sentiment.
@suzbailey23.....oh yes, and like every big City newspaper, along with Hollywood, along with MTV, along with NBC, ABC, and CBS, doesnt already swing left? And the internet, yeah AOL and the huffington post are really convervative arn't they? Brainwashed simpletons like you are so used to having liberal voices all around you that when you don't have control over a certain sect in the media, in this case talk radio, you cry and whine. Please stop being a delusional liberal.
@EastCoastDude99 OK, so if it's bad for the media to be overrun with liberals, how exactly is your call to have "only Republican news and Republican voices" anything other than the flip side of the coin? And you're calling ME a brainwashed simpleton? You're so filled with hate that you can't even read a simple post. I only called you out for demanding the exact same thing as you were vilifying in others. You assume I'm a liberal merely because I criticize you? Who is brainwashed?
@suzbailey23........my call to have "only republican news and voices"? Where and when did I say that? Please copy and paste it so I can read that mysterious quote for myself. THIS is the exact reason it's nearly impossible to debate a liberal, I simply point out the fact that the majority of the mainstream media is liberal and somehow you claim Im calling for "Republican news" only across the board. I can see now why you lefties hate FOX so much when you're constantly missing the point.
@EastCoastDude99 you can scroll up and see it for yourself; it's not hard to do. It was posted originally by someone else but you jumped all over it, so it's your baby now. In your rush to try to make me look stupid, you failed to address my point. Also, you continue to call me a "leftie" and a "liberal" (when you have no evidence whatsoever of my political views) instead of engaging the debate in a meaningful fashion.
@EastCoastDude99 still plowing along blindly calling me a liberal, I see? As if calling someone words like "liberal" or "conservative" actually matter... what matters is the facts people bring to a debate, not their party/ideology affiliation. That sort of thinking (or refusal to think) is a HUGE drain on our nation's collective intelligence and ability, and both sides are sadly all too good at it.
@suzbailey23.....yes just like you're still blindly claiming that Im calling for "Republican voices" only in the media which I've never said, nor have I even implied. And for the record, Im a Independent Hillary supporter and would vote for her in a second if she runs for President. My point was I wish there was more balance in the media and that includes just about every big city Newspaper in the country. But those points obviously went over your head so you came to your own conclusion.
@EastCoastDude99, you could have said everything you have without being insulting and ugly, but you repeatedly chose not to. My feelings aren't subject to the whims of strangers on the web so you've done me no harm, but you damage your own ability to communicate when you act in such a childish, repulsive, and spiteful way.
