MSNBC Falling Apart

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121989105850778775.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

MSNBC seems to be falling apart at the seams with out the level headed guidance of Tim Russart. It all seems to have started with the announcement that Dan Abrahams' The Verdict would be replaced by a new show hosted by Rachel Maddow. Maddow, a young man who is well educated and really far to the left should fit right in with the rest of the left wing cheerleaders; Chris Matthews, who no doubtledy is still steaming about not being handed over the keys to meet the press, and Failed Sports Center host Keith Olbermann.

Now we are finding out that Olbermann is trying to ban Tom Brokaw from appearing on MSNBC. Who the hell does Olbermann think he is? Keith is that guy everyone knows that try's to be involved in every conversation even though he does not know anything about the topic. He is just trying to be the O'Reilly of the left, and his schtick just doesn't work. He is just as much of a douchbag as O'Reilly, so he does have that going for him which is nice.

It looks like GE is looking to sell off the NBC Universal side anyway just so they can get off the ship before it sinks it's credibility like the Titanic.

Will see if Maddow can acutely get some viewers. He can preach to Shepple just as good as anyone else can. And at this point any journalistic credibility for this network has gone completely out the window. The one shining star they had died.
