Olbermann Suspended

[Irish Rogue]

The world is right again, after this announcement. This guy is the worst person on TV, hence him not being on the Sunday football anymore. NBC needs to make this a permanent suspension, he singlehandedly has destroyed the network.

 

[Pheonix14]

For what???

 

[DaLastFarleyite]

I wish they would suspend Olbermann from the planet. Now, that would make my day complete. To me he's a jackwagon.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Thanks for in depth explanation. Forced to google from my phone.

MSNBC suspends Keith Olbermann for donating to 3 Democratic candidates -

Article

 

[ACamp1900]

For what???

for being a liberal douchebag who attacks and labels anyone who doesn't think exactly like him as being "closed minded"...


so basically for just being a liberal douchebag...

Racheal Maddow come on down.....




seriously though, not too many people make my list of "I smile at their misery"... this clown is right near the top o that short list.

In Canada he'd be a conservative ...

Bill O'Reilly is in trouble with his boss at Fox.

Rupert Murdoch recently said:
'Bill O'Reilly gets Hillary Clinton on. He's disgraceful the way he gives her such an easy ride,' he said.

Murdoch also reportedly gloated that 'we're beating the **** out of CNN.'"

I will say this, Fox News is going to be way off the reservation in the next election cycle: 3 or 4 of the top 5 G.O.P. presidential candidates are on Fox payroll. That's absolutely unprecedented, should be interesting to see how Fox covers the primaries.

'Oberman out' thank you Lord best news I've had in weeks.

Actually, I checked, the MSNBC policy says you have to notify your intentions to contribute, and receive approval. He claims to have done that Two-hundred thousand people have signed a petition to reinstate the guy. As far as any of them from Fox to MSNBC, it is entertainment, not news. The last news in this country was CBS from Edward Murrow to Walter Cronkite.

In fact, with Fox, it is really poor entertainment, and there is a darker side. Remember when the Moslem Cultural center was a really big hubbub? And there was some mysterious Saudi prince donating the money? Well that mysterious Saudi prince is the second largest News Corp (Fox parent company) shareholder behind Rupert Murdoch!

Neither FOX News nor MSNBC are news networks. They are political platform/entertainment networks.

Damn, there are a lot of intelligent people on this site!

Nevermind that News Corp donated $1 million to the GOP? Get real. They are all on "sides" and news is dead.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Why is this a thread under Notre Dame Football?? If people insist upon voicing their political biases and hang-ups, can't they find another venue?? At least take it to the Leprechaun Lounge and flame away there where no one has to be lumbered with even clicking on it. I taught Environmental Studies for 30 years, I put up with this ignorant ranting too long as it is---and am so far off the political spectrum that all these folks are like brain dead clowns with power---please expunge such discussions from "my" football entertainment. Mods: help!!

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Mike, there were fifteen post on this site, twelve less yours and mine. Of those twelve, nine were either non-political smart *** comments, information requests, information links, or unbiased criticisms of the media. I think 75% of the posts not taking a political stance on this issue is outstanding, really! I understand where you are coming from, I am sick of it too. Like my old man used to say, politics is like a magician, who makes a living out of getting you to watch the right hand while the left hand is doing all of the work!

Olbermann was suspended for doing what Faux News talking heads do openly

The difference, MSNBC has some integrity in that they do not allow it while Fox Noise openly shills for the GOP.

When you guys can start to figure out that to move the country forward you need to do whats best for the citizens and not just tow the company line, or in the case the political line.

Stuns me every time I read about US politics that OH NOES LOST POWER IN THE HOUSE NOW NOTHING WILL GET DONE. Don't forget about the people who put you there.

you have got to be kidding, their are NO bigger shills than olberman and his alternative lifestyle sidekick! that said as someone mentioned earlier neither of them are realy true news sources but then again what/who realy is any more? as far as who donates to who, this country will be a lot better off when we realize that those in power have only one loyalty...and that is to PROFIT. they dont care about you or me, right or left, they just use party affiliation to proliferate financial gains for them and their friends. we need revolution...

I'm not sure what Fox has to do with this. NBC employs olbermann, ever since NBC's contract with ND, ND's football program has gone south. My point of the matter is people hate ND moreso, because of the Network contract, guys like Olbermann, Haden, and Hammond do not help matters with lousy commentary. The correlation to ND football is the network that broadcasts them. Why pepole inject fox into this is pointless. To equate integrity with msnbc is a complete joke, they hate everything and anything that has an opposing view.

"DEAD" wrong. Fox talking heads that "shill" for the GOP are opinion jockeys, not reporters. Olbermann and Maddow (Olbermann in particular) put on the facade that they are objective reporters.

Integrity is nowhere near the appropriate word for MSNBC.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

This is hilarious. Olbermann is psychotic. He got himself fired at espn and fox, his appearances on nbc's football night in america turned viewers off, and he has the intelligence of a wet mop.

This is my personal vow to pay for his one way plane ticket to a country of his choosing between Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, and Haiti.

Nice. Way to keep it classy.

 

[CanadianIrish]

Wow, people here have extreme political opinions. Way to bust out the homophobia, that's awesome.

give me a break, i didnt realize this was PC central.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Sorry Mike, I thought this thread was above that stuff. I was wrong as usual. And CanadianIrish, misogyny, homophobia, and blind obedience are the signs of small minds. From a Canadian perspective, exactly how many are there down here in the states?

I'm glad somebody said this....because lets not act the ultra liberal douche bags are any worse than the neo-con puppets of the plutocracy.
