I'll bet Bill Orielly is having a celebratory cold one right now.

Darn, gotta find me a new show now.

Actually, I occasionally tuned in just to see how ridiculously they spin things.
I could only usually only stand a few minutes before going back over to my beloved FOX.

I can't imagine why......































O.K...... I can't back that up.

Good riddance imo...

Ratings must have been in the tank.

It amazes me how the left always purports to be the majority, and indeed successfully advances their agenda to a large degree, yet any media program or outlet such as Olbermann or Air America can't get the audience to sustain profitability that Fox News and shows like Limbaugh, Hannity, et. al., do as they gain wide audiences and are hugely profitable; grass roots movements like the Tea Party become not only a phenomenon but an actual political force despite media lambasting and labeling as racist; and Soros funded artificial movements like the Coffee Party fizzle and die even with huge news media promotion.

When will we Conservatives not only begin to believe we are the majority, but also begin to act like it?

Edit: Fixed the run-on sentence.

Happiness is... watching Olberman ride off into the sunset, hopefully permanently this time. I hope it is not another "wack-a-mole" scene where he pops up again somewhere else.


There are other events about the media which could make my fun meter rise (like the Federal de-funding of NPR) but this one is right up there.
Who knows - maybe Rachael Maddow will be next. Think of it... a "two fer".

Ratings per the Drudge Report as of 1/20/2011:


FOXNEWS O'REILLY 2,918,000
FOXNEWS HANNITY 2,079,000
FOXNEWS BAIER 1,940,000
FOXNEWS SHEP 1,786,000

I liked him at ESPN when that channel was good...him and Dan Patrick worked well together.

It's a Great Day in America.

The thread title makes it sound like Olberman made the decision - did he or the MSNBC powers that be make the decision?

Sorry but I think that is where a lot of the problem is, " act like it". There is a lot more to the quote by Teddy Rosevelt, "Walk softly, but carry a big stick", than most people think.

News reports as of late last night were unclear on who initiated the departure.

NY Times wrote: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2 ... ss&emc=rss" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For the last several weeks, Mr. Olbermann and the network have been in negotiations to end his successful run on MSNBC, according to executives involved in the talks who requested anonymity because the talks were confidential.

This NYT's blog post also points out that this departure was a exactly a year from Conan O’Brien's departure.

Is there a 'pool' on where he will go next?

And I abruptly start to care about that waste of space and air and what he does.



Oh wait, no I don't.
