#1 yawn. Watsa matter MSNBC?? Are your ratings falling so low that you are attempting to promote this faux controversy to get some sort of buzz going your way?

A few testy on air exchanges showing the "passion" of their anchors isn't going to save their sinking ship. Besides who cares? Other than the staff, there is no one else on board.

This whole thing is like
zzzzzz..SNORT!zzzzzzzzzz

#4 Timing is everything. With this revelation now the MSM will be harder than usual on republicans next week with this new found "religion" never realizing that maybe they should have gotten religion before the DNC 08.

Our anchors, definitely. But BS-DNC MSNBC, no no no...

#9 No bias? They're the absolute worst of all the news channels for bias, and have been for years. Who the hell are they kidding?

#10 Olbermann is widely despised at MSNBC by everybody but the bosses. There is a waiting line to mess him up if the opportunity ever presents itself. But he is in the same position as a newspaper sob sister. Unless people continue to send Olbermann hate mail, he is out of there.

This usually means that over time his opinions will get so grotesque that they become comic, like advocating the kicking of puppies, just to piss people off.

#13 Two other MSNBC sources said some of the testy on-air exchanges between Keith Olbermann -- whose quick-witted and often caustic commentary dip-shit mouth has fueled ratings growth plunge

WHAT A LIE! Olbermann has been in the TANK since he been on the air.

He's NEVER beatten FOX or even CNN's Larry King who's always behind FOX himself.

PMSNBC = PURE BULLSHIT

#16 Give em all a sawed shotgun and a bowie knife and turn em loose in a vacant lot........

What a bunch of crap.

How a net work that employs an ex speech writer for Clinton as a commentator and claims to be impartial is just assinine.

#17 But, but ... if the MSM dies, what will we have to post here and snark at?

Individual reporters who post their content online. Besides, last time I checked one of those "news" shows, this was the entire menu:

Caylee is still missing.
Look how well Barack is doing!
Video footage of reporters outside Caylee courthouse.
Republicans did something bad.
The economy is bad! bad! People are hurting.
Is John McCain a bad man?
Breaking Update on Missing Caylee
Iraq bomb stats
non-informative news story about georgia
Caylee's mom's stripper footage.

Rinse, repeat for 24 hours except for opinion shows that tell us how great Barack is doing despite the poor economy and racist Republicans.

#18 Olberman was a jerk when he was all-sports at ESPN. Everyone thinks he and Dan Patrick were the greatest thing in sports reporting since sliced bread but he was despised there because of his antics and left-wing political views. He is still a jerk and an arrogant misogynist that will get his some day. You just cannot continue to be this narcissistic and sarcastic and slanderous with out someone coming by and punching your lights out.

#22 maybe they can have a parking lot brawl worthy of "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy"

...tonight, the streets of Denver run red w/the blood of Olbermann....hahahaha!

#26 It's a quagmire, an unwinnable conflict that NBC should have never started, and one in which the troops have committed journalistic war crimes out of desperation and inflamed sectarian violence. The NBC Board of Dircetors should cut off funds to Olbermann and withdraw Chris Matthews and his technical crews to Okinawa. That'll force Scarborough and Shuster to settle their differences politically; but even if they don't, their civil war is none of our business.

#33 If you'd like a foretaste of an Obama administration, take note of the MLK theme and listen to the Motown Invesco stadium warm up and the list of performers selected. It is difficult for me to get my head around the idea that this empty suit has amassed such a cult following. I'm sadly becoming indifferent to the entire ordeal.
