This Olbermann thing is blow back bullshit from the Bachmann incident

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

MSNBC, like the Democratic party as of late, has suddenly become cowards to the new reich-wing overlords. Make no mistake, you will see a lot of this bullshit as GE tries to pay it's penance for daring to poke the new heroes of corporate America......Bachmann, Cantor, etc....

1. What Bachmann incident?

2. Wasn't that the Tweety Bachmann incident? n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Yeah....

....but the other media outlets have been wringing their hands over the whole thing and pointing it out as "proof" MSNBC is biased. Anyone on that panel better keep low.....

[gratuitous]

3. No, it's Phil Griffin determined to lean MSNBC into oblivion

Either that, or it's a tit-for-tat on the Juan Williams situation. Surely all the media worthies who thought Williams got a raw deal for spouting his bigotry will rally to Olbermann's cause. Free speech and all that, right? Billo? Sean?

Ooh listen! Crickets!

7. They have such a contrived excuse about it but

I think everyone knows what is going on. If they don't put Keith back on soon their ratings will plummet.
