For those asking about David Shuster - Contract up next month

[RamboLiberal]

Shuster was suspended from the network in April after it emerged that he had filmed a pilot for CNN while still under contract with MSNBC.

FishbowlDC's Betsy Rothstein ran into him at a gala and he told her that he will not return to MSNBC at all. Shuster's contract with the network runs out in December.

Shuster also got into trouble with MSNBC in 2008 after he infamously accused Hillary Clinton of "pimping out" her daughter Chelsea.

Shuster also told Rothstein that he is getting his master's degree at Georgetown. Sources told her he is looking for a new job. "He recently contacted a Washington bureau chief of a TV network," Rothstein wrote. "He wants to apply for a position, even one that has him broadcasting online."

1. There was a follow up to this and he says he never said he wasn't going back...

2. Yeah you're right I missed the update part

In a statement to The Huffington Post, Shuster writes, "I have made nothing official... I was never asked and never said (nor would I) if I am leaving MSNBC. That's not a conversation I will have until my contract ends with MSNBC in December. People are free to surmise whatever they want based on my sabbatical. But fishbowldc always masquerades their uninformed speculation as 'fact.' And it is simply not fair and not accurate."

3. Are there any liberal billionaires

out there who want to start a liberal television network? With our great news anchors, good and educational, environmental type programming, news of discoveries, family entertainment instead of prison shows?

There is a huge SMART audience out there just waiting for someone to give us a reason to keep the channel in one place.

Comon Oprah! :)
