MSNBC To Drop Olbermann and Matthews from Live Campaign Coverage

[Batch37 Pain Is Good]

I am sure it wasn't because of BIAS.....

Now if they'd just flat drop Olberman completely, for instance from NFL coverage...

Yeah Sean Hannity isnt biased.

Besides his show Hannity & Holmes, Sean does do "new reporting".

MSNBC has slinging Olberman like he's a unbiased news reporter.

Sean has never masqueraded himself as a report. Big difference.

I think they should leave Olberman with his own show.

The 12 people that watch it, really enjoy it.

True but Hannity isn't anchoring convention coverage for FOX News. This would be like Hannity and O'Reilly being the anchors.

Turns out that tingle in Matthews leg was feeling you get when you have the worst ratings of any cable "news" show.

from the AP article:
The network’s weak ratings during the conventions may have given MSNBC executives the cover they needed to boot Olbermann and Matthews. FOX News Channel topped all broadcast and cable networks with 9.2 million viewers on each of the last two nights of the convention. MSNBC got barely more than a quarter of Fox’s total –2.5 million viewers.

MSNBC also ranked last among the three cable channels during primetime coverage of the last two nights of the Democratic convention.

Keith Overbite, countdown to no ratings, finally gone!! What a loser.

So long Chris Matthews and Keith who should have stayed with sports. I'm glad that NBC saw the light and said that Chris and Keith can't do election coverage as there bias. I don't watch MSNBC as it is away to far to the left for my liking I will just stick to CNN and Fox News.
