Knew it was coming with the merger, called that shit yesterday on this very board.

Cya later Keith, don't let the smug hit you on the ass on the way out, you'll never work in this town again, enjoy getting an invite to join Fox as a commentator just to rub that salt in a little deeper.

Oh shit the article is awesome

>The liberal commentator told viewers he had been informed "this was going to be the last edition" of his show, but offered no further details

>"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast
of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" will be this evening

MSNBC hasn't been able to find someone capable of competing with O'Reilly in a decade, I doubt they'll start now.

You know he'll get hired again.

Where? His 30 million dollar contract that just got ended has a no competition clause.

He's fucked for at least two to three years

And he won't be rehired back at NBC while Comcast owns it apparently

They were quoted in another story as saying that he's been problematic and they want to take a "right turn" to be more balanced in their coverage

Aka they're going to try and go the CNN route

THATS BEEN GOING SWELL FOR CNN HASN"T IT?

it makes sense to get rid of him, if they can split the conservative cable news watchers they'll have 50% more viewers than olbermann ever pulled

yeah this is why I think this is bad for fox news. but perhaps it is all irrelevant because few people watch TV anymore.

these political pundits have to aggressively cultivate internet personas to be successful now imo.

Only because MSNBC and CNN openly shilled for Obama during the 2008 campaign.

So does this mean less Jewish liberal media?

nah conservatives were already pretty rabid for Fox before then, but that certainly solidified the effect

MSNBC can't appeal to the right anymore. They're permanently tainted as the network which spent all day every day doing nothing but attacking them.
