NewsBusters.org's parent company, the Media Research Center, today released the following statement from President L. Brent Bozell, III.:
Arch-liberal MSNBC has finally pulled the plug on the horrendous anchor tandem of Olbermann and Matthews. It's a good move, but it's about time. I wonder what it was that finally made them see the light?
Was it the protesters on their airwaves and in locales around the country that finally showed them they'd gone too far around the left bend? Was it the over-inflated Olbermann's on-the-air beratings of his less liberal colleagues? Or was it the fact that MSNBC remains entrenched in dead last among the cable news networks?
Whatever it is, the thrill up MSNBC's leg is gone. And now, finally, so are the woeful Olbermann and Matthews, if only from their anchor desks. Mothership NBC is hoping its credibility didn't head out along with them. Olbermann and Matthews's blatantly biased coverage will not be missed.

get canceled.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH...
September 8, 2008 - 17:11 ET by danybhoyThis so called "news" network should fade to black. That way, my satellite tv provder could free up space for something usefull, XM dumped BSNBC from their lineup a while ago, & I don't miss it.
Dumping BathTubBoy & The Drooler from election coverage is 1 thing, sacking them & forcing them to earn an honest living is another.

NEWS FLASH! new anchor announced
September 8, 2008 - 12:29 ET by wizardjrBecause MSNBC has been seen as too far to the left we are annoucing the appointment of Mr. Al "Middle America" Franken as our new anchor.

September 8, 2008 - 12:44 ET by BarkerMight this have something to do with a certain protester having a certain press pass at a certain convention?

Barker and BT, A certain press pass?
September 8, 2008 - 13:59 ET by goldenthroatAw, come on now, guys! Are you insinuating that those passes might just have been handed to those brain-dead, left-wing morons under the table by MSNBC?
And that Olbermeister and Chrissy boy might have known about it?
Why, I am shocked at hearing such an allegation - surely you jest!

September 8, 2008 - 12:44 ET by bigtimerWill not be missed...now that is a fact!
I forgot about those sick protesters behind them all the time, plus Matthews interviewing some of them...what audacity he had to-boot...
One thing about it, I could not take much of their coverage at all, I would just click to see what they would say after a speech and such, my blood pressure couldn't take much more than that...lol.
Good riddance to them...whatever the reasons, which I think there were a myriad of them, it made my day when I heard the good news.

Pffft. There's no change here...
September 8, 2008 - 12:50 ET by Calypso JonesWhat it is called is Panic. They have gotten such criticism. Perhaps they think little act of contrition is going to calm everyone down. It will not. Americans are SERIOUS this time. Now how far they(meaning Americans)are willing to take it is another matter.
No doubt Mr. Bozell knows some of these people. So what are their responses to Mr. Bozell's comments. silence?

September 8, 2008 - 12:55 ET by bigtimerMl...
Also the demand and outrage from Rick Davis I think it was, or Steve Schmidt who work for McCain over their outrage with Olbermann and his remarks during the convention.
It all adds up over time...no matter what...it had to come to an end.

constant reminder
September 8, 2008 - 12:59 ET by Jerry MackThey are a constant reminder of the far left that controls a large portion of the Dim party. Actually they informed those that do not pay attention to any political news before the conventions of the bias served up by their network. I say leave them there.
Not to worry
September 8, 2008 - 13:17 ET by GoodieIt is just a rumor, but IndyMac Bank Spokesperson Chuck Schumer will be replacing the departed @ MSNBS.

Now if we can just get Olberdork off of NBC football I can enjoy Sunday Night Football once again. And feel free to take nitwit Collinsworth off as well.

Right on, right on...
September 8, 2008 - 13:50 ET by BarkerIf only NBC knew just how many people change the channel when those two jerks show up they wouldn't put them anywhere near a camera.
What's the difference between Tom and Keith?
September 8, 2008 - 13:33 ET by zachlindRatings and money certainly have something to do with this long needed action, but in my opinion, what turned the worm was when Tom, Andrea and David started seeing their pictures pasted all over the Internet along side of Keith and Chris with all being referred to as “MSNBC journalists”. The first three have long been able to hide their bias with their silence when it comes to negative Democrat activities. But, with them being the go-to “reporters” for Keith and Chris a difference between any of them was all but impossible to make.
I see it as NBC/MSNBC are so
September 8, 2008 - 13:40 ET by marpelI see it as NBC/MSNBC are so in the tank for Obama that they knew the covereage of the conventions and Sarah Palin with KO and Chrissy at the helm will only help to win the election for McCain and Palin.
I also think there was some pressure from the Obama camp to get rid of the two dopes at least from election coverage. I personally know several people who were undecided and are now solidly behind McCain BECAUSE of the MSM's hideous behavior.
This Just In:
September 8, 2008 - 13:42 ET by BarkerChris Matthews said today that his demotion is welcomed news as it would free up his time to run for Dog Catcher of Scranton.

SENATOR MATHEWS...
September 8, 2008 - 17:02 ET by danybhoyMathews will probably run against Arlin Spector in Pennsylvania, & what's sad is, he would not be that much more liberal then Spector.
Pat Toomey, you might want to fire up another primary run at Spector. This nation does not need Chris Mathews as a US Senator, also, I do not want Al Franken as my US Senator from my state of Minnesota.

too funny to shovel
September 8, 2008 - 13:49 ET by jondelwicheIt is hilarious that Obie wanted Joe to
"get a shovel" when Scarborough
was simply reporting the momentum seen
on the ground in the McCain camp.
O-man was clinging to some KOS like poll
showing Obama soaring to 101% or similar lunacy.
This weeks polls prove Joe had it right.
And all we're left with this Ober-lame-man
or is it Ober-delusional-man or ......
O man is to journalism what Mr. Bill was to
good health. End of story.
Joe: if you still have that shovel throw some dirt
on Obie's now 6 feet buried reputation. Bury it for good!
Olby's overinflated on-the-air beatings...?
September 8, 2008 - 14:30 ET by goldenthroatLet's take it one step further - it was Olby's overinflated ego.

September 8, 2008 - 15:27 ET by Original PechangaHow embarrassing for Matthews to be EXPOSEd for what he is: The Blonde Olbermann
Wonder how this will help his political run?
What idiot watches?
September 8, 2008 - 16:07 ET by JohnJDunbarI have not been able to meet anyone that says they watch Chrissy and kweef. PMSNBC must get 90% of their viewership in DC and New York City.
What a three hours of manure. Chrissy with his "No Balls", kweef ands his "special comas", and the new dude Rachel Mud head, with the 3rd show.
Gee NBC, can't figure out why your network is dead last. Hum, and you guys are network executives.
There will be more drama.
September 8, 2008 - 21:10 ET by ACLUSUXSo BSNBC finally passed that kidney stone. Guess what, Olbermann's ego will not allow this to happen. It could be very entertaining.
