I still can’t figure how Compast could buy NBC. Thought it would be the other way around.

MSNBC executives have long planned for the day the network’s star might be sent packing, and the rise of Rachel Maddow at MSNBC – along with the grooming of Lawrence O’Donnell as a potential replacement for Olbermann – appears to have hastened the host’s departure.

Oh barf... More Rachel MadCow and Lawrence "Creepy Liar" O'Donnell to come, apparently, on pMSNBC...

Replaced By O’Donnell (RBO’D). How’s that for a resume enhancement? That’s like offering proof that you are actually not the most stupidly arrogant star of stage, screen, and tv, on the planet.

As in:

Name: KO
Position applied for: Star
Last position held: Cable commentator
Reason for leaving: RBO’D

"Olbermann and his iconic Countdown have been immensely important in the resurgence of MSNBC...."

"With Maddow enjoying both immense popularity inside MSNBC and very strong ratings..."

Just who do these people think they're kidding? MSNBC's ratings are in the toilet, and have been for a very long time. There's no "resurgence", or "immense popularity" anywhere near that network.

What a load of obama.

That would be against Greta. Keep in mind she's 10pm and Olberman was 8pm, prime time.
