Keith Olbermann has fellow MSNBC anchor booted
dailycaller.com ^ | 4/21/10 | Mike Riggs

"A week-long anchoring stint on MSNBC by Donny Deutsch ended abruptly on Wednesday,” writes the New York Times‘ Brian Stelter,” after “Mr. Olbermann was shown briefly in a series of clips of media bloviators during a segment that pondered what role the media plays in fomenting the public’s anger.”

While no one at MSNBC would go on the record for fear of getting fired by Mr. Olbermann, Stelter reports that “the four people briefed on MSNBC’s decision said Mr. Olbermann’s anger about the segment prompted the cancellation of the weeklong ‘America the Angry’ series.”

What does he have on the execs there? His ratings sure aren’t the source of his job security. I could host a show on cable access about navel lint and get more eyeballs...

Apparently, Mr. Olbermann is VERY angry about someone pointing out the fact that he is a very angry man.

Olbermann is such an obnoxious human being. It goes far beyond his political views. He could be the spiritual successor to Reagan or Goldwater and I’d still see him as a jerk.

He was a jerk on ESPN.

He was a jerk on MSNBC in the 90’s

He’s a jerk now.

Keith Olbermann......thinks he’s the Edward R Murrow
of the 21th Century. Actually, he has much more in
common with Edward R Moron.

This does not explain why Olbermann was angry with Deutsch...does anyone know why?
