Not with moving O’Donnell into the slot. That putz openly declared he is a socialist on the air. Boasted of it, as a matter of fact.

They just went from proudly stupid to proudly evil.

But Rosie’s shows never seem to last.

Untermann, on the other hand, was on forever.

We’ll see. If the new management has a lick of sense they’ll push her out the door in a hurry.

In a ratings first approach, FOX news will soon be getting a lot of competition in the "Fair and Balanced" realm.
That sounds so unlikely, I can't believe I said it...

Definitely- the Comcast effect. Glen Beck predicted that Olbermann would be gone, back in November.

Looks as if the hard reality of high cost and low ratings have trumped their liberal ideology. Welcome to the real world.

Olberman will not be missed.

Air America radio is long gone.

That was kinda my point. Can't get more obscure than that. :-)

When discussing selling a business, the value of its assets is always a concern. Someone like Olberman diminishes value. It is no surprise discussions of ending his occupation was in discussion.

Lawrence, not Rosie. They aren’t remotely alike. Rosie likes women and I don’t think Lawrence does.

Coulter and Maulkin would be a good move.

I am going to miss him. There is something sick about enjoying the anti-fox. How cool would it be to have Congressman Weiner on a one hour show? SNL would be forced to mock the show. I need therapy I guess. I actually look at car wrecks, and have actually seen the show about strange ways to die. Really.

Comcast won’t spend much time trying to teah NBC much about profits, they will just bring in their folks that already know about profits. PBS will have to rent more chairs for all the libs that will be ringing their doorbell.

Starvation is the best way to rid us of these fools! Same with MSM newspapers, let em dry up.

I don’t think either one of them would make a good host..its an entirely different medium..even Rush has made the statement that people think anyone can be a broadcaster and they all fail when they try it...but that is just my opinion...

So in the name of civility and fairness, who is the left going to demand Fox fire? My bet is on Juan Williams.

How is that for irony?

Now that Keith's Countdown has reached "0" and he's been launched, my informed sources tell me that the new white shirts at PMSNBC are in private talks with Bill Maher and several other equally obnoxious progressives.

Photobucket

This ever classy, waste of otherwise valuable protoplasm and pathetic excuse for a life form is seen here whacked out on a large quantity of booze and/or exotic chemicals in his Halloween, 2007 STEVE IRWIN get-up!

PMSNBC talking head and self confessed vagitarian, Wretched Madcow, seen here BEFORE her unsuccessful facial reconstructive surgery. She apparently used the same surgeon who performed Chrissie Mathews’ failed brain implant and treated him for “Acute Leg Thrill Syndrome.”

They should give Juan Williams a show. At least he knows enough conservatives to make his show entertaining.
