Snippet:

Insiders tell us that it's not llkely Keith Olbermann will return to the air...

Disgusting but not surprising.

Keith Olbermann appears to be done as far as MSNBC is concerned.

Que the throwing up now. Ugh.

1. If true, this really fucking sucks.

2. Some say...

:eyes:

I'll see it when I believe it.

NGU.

13. I'm With You On that Classwarrior

I got this very bad sick feel that it just may happen but until it's confirmed, I'm holding out for the better.

[ClassWarrior]

17. I've had a lot of very bad sick feelings this week for various reasons. But...

...not all of them ever come true.

Welcome to DU goldenstar09! :hi:

NGU.

3. 'Insiders' don't know sh*t, imo,

but I do suspect it will be up to KEITH, NOT msnbc.

[Auggie]

4. FYI: His November 4th PodCast is still avaliable on iTunes

If this is true it would be his last as Countdown host

5. CNN would do well becoming the new left network. Hire Keith and Rachel and the progressive radio

hosts like Thom Hartman and Malloy and Bob Kincaid. It could become a paradise and a force we NEED.

[Bucky]

9. You're not aware of who owns CNN, are you?

The progressive network thing is not gonna happen.

[pgodbold]

12. Crap .. It's not news corp is it?

[Bucky]

14. No, but... Time Warner is just a less colorful version of corporate evil

Frankly, MSNBC's relative progressivism continues to surprise me. No big corporation run by likeminded MBAs is going to be progressive in a way that challenges the existing social order.

15. Time-Warner (nt)

[Nite Owl]

16. I think it's Time Warner

used to be not sure if it still is.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

20. Thanks so much!

I hope one day some of these megalomaniac ForProfit media types actually figure out that there really is a market for liberal broadcasting.

Among other things, pgodbold, you point toward an interesting fact: FoxNews has a radio offshoot, as does CNN. FoxNews uses its offshoot to provide wingnut talkshows to its affiliates. CNN Radio, however, is just news. Why NOT have a go at creating a liberal talk radio network? I suspect it would succeed. And maybe that, in and of itself, is the answer to my question.

6. Fuck

Well...no more MSNBC for me.
Except for Rachel.
But other than that...buhbye.

[Politics_Guy25]

7. Yep they were my absolutely favourite network

They are dead to me now. Rachel's show tonight is the last show that I will ever watch on MSNBC and then I am DONE.

[Bucky]

8. "Insiders" - ha! I think it's 50-50 likelihood that "insiders" means someone gunning for his spot

If he's gone, let it be Cenk.

[pettypace]

10. He can be Conan's sidekick on Monday

Perfect timing.

[Terra Alta]

11. I hope the insiders are wrong.

If he does leave MSNBC, I hope he ends up somewhere. He is one of the few sane voices left in the media and it would be a shame to see him gone.

[ellenfl]

18. if this is true, then they were looking for an excuse. eom

[Azathoth]

19. Useless gossip

probably fed to them by someone like Tucker Carlson (he's an "insider" after all).
