“In fairness to Keith, he was a great SportsCenter anchor...”

Nope, he was crappy there also!

Maybe even the liberal media sees the writing on the wall and figures a more conservative nation will cost them a lot of money in lost revenues. Personally I never watched the douche bag myself . I despise TV. Hear enough about him to know he was a leftist puppet.

Some of the guys at Comcast are at best Establishment Republican businessmen types....I heard awhile back when rumors of Comcast taking over NBC last year surfaced that there were going to be changes and that they were going to dump some of MSNBC leftward lurchers!

It was posted here on FR almost a year ago; it’s all about them losing money with bad ratings and blaming it on the left leaning cable shows which don’t work

“Shep is too funny to lose. I like the guy, lefty and all. I am man enough to admit it. Flame away but remember. I’m a disabled Marine with a short lifespan ahead, black guns, an attitude, 11 acres and a shovel.”

OK Chesty, but better start digging ‘cause Shep and Whoraldo need removal from the gene pool too! HAW

Semper Fi, my friend!!

I think you will get a good DU thread outta this one!

DUmmieland is ABLAZE with KO threads right now! But since it just happened, we usually wait a bit for the threads to build up before DUFUing. I'm guessing PJ will cover this sometime within the next 24 business hours.

She’s probably still watching Sportscenter wondering when her little boy will be on.

It's all about the bottom line. Fox demonstrates that catering to a conservative audience makes money. MSNBC has demonstrated that catering to the moonbat fringe loses money. Therefore expect any executive interested in making money to move NBC in a more balanced direction.

This was the only piece I ever wanted to see from this jerk.

When he talks about going to the window and shouting .. I wanted to. but not what he suggested, rather

“THANK GOD HE IS GONE!”
