Keith Olberman - Out!
Keith Olberman out at MCNBC.
I used to enjoy his show offering a comedic view of politics but, in my opinion, this guy went off the deep end with his nightly rantings about G. W. Bush. I was not a fan of Bush's presidency but Olberman went way too far with his unpleasant nightly tirades. (No, I don't watch Fox either but that's a whole 'nother story.) I think Olbermans hit on the head went, well, to his head. Then be helped that Rachel Madow, his female wannbe clone, get on the network and that was the end of evening MNBC for me.
How do you feel about this guy leaving MSNBC?

Re: Keith Olberman - Out!
His show, just like Maddow and Hannity are totally ridiculous for anyone who enjoys politics. These shows are made for the true partisans who just want to hear someone preach to the choir. Their whole shows are about burying the other political party in every segment, but rarely looking at things objectively. They constantly have pundits on their shows who agree with them in philosophy, so it is dialogue of 2 people who agree with each other, and whenever they have panels, they are usually tilted toward one side. Just check Hannity's American Panel, most of the time they have 2 conservatives and one liberal.
These shows are a joke, good riddance Keith! Come back to ESPN with Craig Kilborn, you guys were great together!

He's simply the political opposite of Beck. They're both good at what they do, preaching to their respective audience and skewing facts to lampoon the other side/channel. He did seem more lighthearted at it though(along the lines of a Jon Stewart), where Beck always seems on the verge of a psychotic break.

Beck shows videos of what they say.
If Beck's show was all bull like the LEFT bloggers say then why was Van Jones fired from the White House after Beck did a story on him?

Re: Keith Olberman - Out!
Does anyone think that the timing of the Comcast/NBC merger last week and Olberman leaving have anything to do with it? The Roberts Family (Owner of Comcast) are VERY conservative, and I wonder if they are going to change MSNBC from a liberal slanted station to be more like Fox and lean conservative to compete. Just a theory.
