Re: Olbermann / MSNBC Split Win-Win For Both Parties AND the Left

Re: Fox News has zero, count them, zero shows hosted by Liberals or Democrats.

What about Geraldo Rivera and Greta Van Susteren?

See here: http://www.mediaite.com/online/msnbcs-dylan-ratigan-i-am-a-conservative/  Also, what don't you understand about "MSNBC HIRED MICHAEL SAVAGE TO HOST HIS OWN SHOW" ???  Your critique makes absolutely no sense. Is that how this forums works? You just make things up out of thin air?  Again, Fox News has ZERO shows hosted by Liberals or Democrats. MSNBC has at least two. How is that not presenting all points of view as opposed to Fox with ZERO shows hosted by Liberals or Democrats?  Are you freaking kidding me???

     Just what image do you think MSNBC has created?  From my POV it is a Lily White branch of the Dem party with no time for any other viewpoints.  With Olbermann gone it still is - no change there at all except maybe not quite as loud but just as delusional.  Interesting that this is the first I have seen menton of Current TV since Algore started it.  Where does it even exist?  Must have taken over the offices of Air America.  Just hope they don't steal money from the boys and Girls Clubs like Air America did.  As for Fox, they are about the only ones who have all points of view broadcasting.  The general slant might be to the right but the left is also there and included unlike any of the other news channels.  The rest of them probably have most of the subscribers to The Nation and Mother Jones as employees.

There's nothing wrong with MSNBC not wanting to become Fox News Left and there's nothing negative about Keith being free to do his own thing, whether it's on the internet or his own HBO show like Bill Maher or with Current Tv, as was announced this week. Would you rather have Keith still at MSNBC in perpetual conflict with the image goals the MSNBC execs have for the channel? It' s not that MSNBC doesn't like left leaning commentators...Lawrence O'Donnell is an admitted socialist and they just gave him Keith Olbermann's time slot! It's just that people, like Jon Stewart, were starting to see no difference between the angry voices at Fox and Keith. Television, whether we like it or not, is image conscious and MSNBC didn't want the kind of image that Fox News has created for themselves. They didn't want to get into a shouting match with another "news organization" and I don't blame them. Controversy is not worthy of a professional news organization. Fox News should take note of MSNBC's decision to break with Olbermann. 
 
Keith Olbermann's loyal audience are painting MSNBC as the devil in this case but why can't both sides be right? Boycotting a News Organization that has given Left Wing commentators a high profile platform...
