Keith Olbermann, the highest-rated host on MSNBC, announced abruptly on the air Friday night that he is leaving “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” immediately.

The host, who has had a stormy relationship with the management of the network for some time, especially since he was suspended for two days last November, came to an agreement with NBC’s corporate management late this week to settle his contract and step down.

So no one will see him on TV (at least on MSNBC) any more, after today?

Big deal. Practically no one saw him on TV before now, anyway. His ratings were lower than most Hyundai commercials.

I noticed on CNN (my wife was watching, I never do except when I walk into the room with her), that they speculated far and wide about the reasons for his firing. He had conflicts with a boss, he wasn't happy, there wer problems lingering after his suspension last year, etc. etc.

But one possible reason was carefully left out. NBC got tired of paying him whatever salary they were paying him, for bringing zero viewers.

Now they'll save money, and their ratings (the Holy Grail of any TV network) can only go up.

Excellent. I never watched him anyway, except maybe pausing as I channel surfed, but he's a real liberal puke.

Maybe NPR will hire him, he's certainly liberal enough to fill in Juan William's old spot.

A real first class ass.

I read he was very difficult to work with, (his staff had issues). :cool:

I'm hearing rumblings that Comcast outright fired him as he was "defiant" behind the scenes. Unfortunately, being under contract, he'll collect a pretty penny for doing nothing the next 2 years (unless they give him permission to work elsewhere).

While looking at the latest ratings data on Drudge, I wondered why Chris Matthews is still on the air. If anyone is a dope, he is... and no bigger dopes are to be found.. he's a no class act and embarrassing... but then so is Harry Reid and he got re-elected! I'll bet Chris Matthews has single handedly set back broadcast journalism by a century, if not more.

Why would two of the domanant Cable TV parties need to be gotten "rid of"? :laugh2:

Nope.

Yer mixed up.... :laugh2: :laugh2:

Ignorange is what O'Reilly n' Hanity help ta diminish, hatred is was intolerant modern Liberals have for other points of view not found on the highly edited elitist Left wing so call "main stream media". :laugh2:

On a scale of 1 to 10, the news flash that Olberman has signed off, rates about a MINUS TEN.:dance:

I mean come on, the guy wasn't even worth a shit as a fucking sports reporter.:slap:

Now, if it were to turn out, that he would be embedded with a front line unit in Afghanistan, THAT would be too fucking hot.:salute:

Maybe, just maybe, that leftest pig would find out how HE gets his freedoms to be such a shithead, or not.......:poke:

I'm very happy to see him go, and just hope he stays gone.

He is just such a blatant liar.

He also wore out his welcome with the sports field.

It really is a waste of some fine talent he has

So the King of the Anthill left MSNBC?

I guess PB, PR, and Bully are wearing black armbands and Gabby is wearing black panties for the next week or so

Meanwhile MSNBC is still in the basement when it comes to ratings looking up at Fox News

Which hosts will the be the sacrificial lambs that will have to go up against O'Reilly and Sean Hannity?

Hardly, Burger King Kid. I watched Olbermann's show less than the number of fingers on your right hand (I had to think of something you're familiar with.)

I WILL, however, be partying when the Vicodin-poppin' Hutt goes off the air.

I've never watched Olberman, or any of the talking heads on MSNBC. Perhaps we should shut down both MSNBC and Fox News. That would be a fair trade off, right?

Kind of like, for every bank robber we throw in jail, we should also throw a policeman in jail, to make it "fair".

I doubt you're smart enough to keep up with fast paced political debate on TV, so I believe you. But all your ideas that you sponge up from MoveOn were grabbed from Olbermann, Maddows and Matthews, among others.

You're not really interested in what we think. Why don't you tell us who we should restrict from free speech and why it will be good for us in the long run.

Why should she be? All you think about is playing with rep and trolling around everyone you think is a liberal.

Fun facts about liberals

FUN FACTS ABOUT LIBERALS

* Liberals hate people who are not open minded. Open minded is defined as thinking just like they think (otherwise you're evil).

* The major diet of the liberal is tofu and granola. This makes them puny and easy to pick up and throw.

* Liberals love to spend other people's money. If you see a liberal, it's okay to take his money because it probably wasn't his anyway.

* The whine of the North American liberal can often be mistaken for the sound of a screech owl. The main difference is that the liberal's whine will also have a nauseating effect.

* Liberals love socialism and want to socialize all businesses. If you see a liberal coming towards your business, throw a stick at him before he can socialize it.

* Liberals tend to congregate on college campuses as it is a safe haven for their idiotic ideas, protecting them from scrutiny. Thus, avoid college at all costs.

* Liberals are invulnerable to reason and logic. They are vulnerable to firearms, knives, and the bitch slap.

* Liberals hate America and love more oppressed people... like evil dictators.

* Much like the duck, it's illegal to shoot a liberal who is floating in a lake.

* Liberals will try to entice you with their twisted logic. If that doesn't work, they'll bite you.

* Hanging a picture of Ronald Reagan over your door will keep liberals from entering.

* Liberals come in two main varieties: intellectual and mental patient. You can only distinguish between the two by noting whether their jacket has sleeves.

* If you see a fuel-efficient foreign car, it's probably being driven by a liberal. Run it off the road with your American SUV.

* Even if you satisfy liberals’ demands, they'll come up with new things to complain about that you could never even imagine; they’re just that creative. That creativity is put towards much better use as forced labor in a coal mine.

* Liberals are always whining about tolerance, but, when I punch them for that, they get whiny. Hey, be tolerant!

* Some liberals still think Communism is good. I guess we should threaten them with nuclear missiles just like we did the Soviets.

* In a fight between Aquaman and liberals, liberals would have Aquaman fined for disturbing the habitat of endangered fish.

* Liberals like to sympathize with terrorists. Keep them away from Gitmo, or there will be nothing but sympathizing.

* I've heard vicious rumors that liberals also like the French, but that might just be slander against liberals.

Yeah, the terrorists in Gitmo will have to sympathize, because their health care is better.

You know, Burger King Kid, anyone who reps or thanks you for that list truly does have to be a mental patient.

When did his ratings go up? He will turn up somewhere like NPR where taxpayer money will pay his salary

Until Republicans get around to defunding the Liberal Radio Network, then he join the millions Obama put on the unemployment line
