The guys were getting catty with each other. I happen to love Keith Olberman though.

Those two needed to be axed a long time ago. Keith Olbermann was disgusting for saying someone should take Hillary Clinton in a room and be the only person who
comes out. His fanatical tirades were unprofessional and way too extreme.

Huh, well that must be a little embarrassing for both of them. I love me some Keith.

That sucks. Caving to the right wing. Fox has people like Hannity doing live events and nobody says a word.

Or maybe their ratings sucked.
Trust me, if that pairing was bringing in a huge audience and making them money, there would be no caving to anybody.

This does not surprise me at all, considering even Bill Maher notices how biased MSNBC has gotten! They pretty much just openly root for Obama.

They didn't get fired from MSNC, they just won't head up the coverage.

MSNBC is conservative in the morning with Morning Joe. Keith brings their best ratings, so it's not because of ratings. They don't want to be branded
as liberal. While Fox News can get away with being in the tank for McCain. It's bullshit.

I don't see how this is caving to the right wing at all. In the past two years, Keith has become a caricature of himself. Plus, Chris Matthews is a sexist
buffoon.
As one of the largest liberals out there, I don't want a counterpoint to Bill O. I want someone who questions both sides of the aisle and incites relevant discussion. Rachel Maddow comes to mind.... |

Well then how the hell does Hannity stay on the air? He's supposed to be on "fair and balanced" FOX. He's a racist and has his nose so far up
MaCain's ass it's ridicuolous!

As someone who listens to both, I can tell you she has criticized Obama's votes on FISA, recent votes on the war, and VERY FREQUENTLY calls the
democratic congress into question for not pulling out of Iraq.

I am a very liberal democrat, but I say good riddance! IMO Chris and Keith and their bashing of Hillary just made women so angry and if anything created a
backlash against Obama in the end. They are embarrasing in their bias. I am voting for Obama, but the treatment of Hillary was horrible! Sexist remarks were
made all the time. Olberman used to be great, now he acts like he is in need of some good meds, he is nuts.
And after Obama gave his speech, their gushing bordered on weird. Saying things like "it's a speech only seen in fiction" as if Obama is some godlike character. Chris literally said, he didn't care if he sounded like he was gushing or biased! Even Bill Maher who is very liberal and for Obama said they sounded like they want to have sex with Obama. It's their kind of totally unprofessional gushing like they have a crush on Obama, that created such anger with women during the primaries. Fox news is so biased, but they at least pretend to not be! These two idiots just kept on gushing. Chris said he got "tingles" up his leg when Obama spoke before! Really, Maher said he was embarrased and so am I and I will not vote for McCain. When Saturday Night Live can do a skit about how the media gushes over Obama and was bashing Hillary and it looks totally true, then you know it's bad. Morning Joe is a different kind of show, it's all commentary. When you are covering a story, you don't act like two boys with a crush on the man running. Good riddance!
