"After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will remain as analysts during the coverage."

MSNBC Changing lineup due to "bias concerns" is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Some staff members said the tension led to the network’s decision to keep Mr. Olbermann in New York for the Republican convention....But some workers say there were other reasons — namely, that Mr. Olbermann was concerned about his safety in St. Paul, ...

BWaaaa Haaaaaaaa

I think Olbermann's Skeered.

He must not have any guns or religion to cling to.

LOL! I like the visual.

David Gregory, Republican shill! You don’t hear that very often.

[GodGunsGuts]

LOL!

When the Washington Post is criticizing your network for being extremely biased, there is a problem. Gregory is biased too, but he at least attempts to be onjective.

No kidding. They’re in an alternate universe over there. Up is down. Left is right. Stupid is clever.

“Gregory is strong lefty!”

I don’t care if news anchors are left-leaning Satan-worshipping communists engaging in homosexual orgies on a daily basis. I just want them to be unbiased when on the screen. If they can’t handle clean journalism, they should just go away and STFU.

And Gregory is supposed to be some sort of improvement?

Oui oui.

....MSNBC drops Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews from anchor chair...

For several years I have wondered if their mothers dropped them on their heads.

He seems decent tho’ don’t watch TV much, better than Jennings, not so nose in the air.

RIP Jerry Nachman.

This is so cool. Olberboy’s fan base on the far-left sites are throwing their poop through the bars.

[StarFan]

I jumped for joy until I read the full article which insures Olberman remaining at the station until the next election in 2012. He should have been fired ages ago.

Olbermann is getting a contract extension with MSNBC, but he will self-destruct at some point.

If the network has any sense, they’ve put an escape clause in his contract that will allow them to drop Olbermann faster than you can say “Don Imus” when the time comes - but with minimal severance pay.

[GnuHere]

OMG, and for that amount he can’t even get his eyebrows waxed? Aside from the fact that he’s a biased lunatic, his face looks as if it’s being consumed by mutant caterpillars!
