Demoted – MSNoBodyCares Removes Olbermann & Matthews From Anchor Chair

in: Barack Hussein Obama, Liberal MSM Bias, MSM Ignorance, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates

I sense the heavy influence of Tom Brokaw in the NBC News decision to nix caustic anchors Keith Olbermann and Chris “I have a tingly feeling” Matthews. Especially since Bill O’Reilly called him out on ‘The Factor’ the other night. Tensions between flagship NBC News and their cable affiliate MSNoBodyCares have been elevated lately especially since Howard Wolfson publicly called out the Pro-Obama media.

MSNoBodyCares announced that Olbermann and Matthews would be relegated to “analyst” duties and David Gregory would be assuming the anchor chair for the election and debates.

From the New York Times:

MSNBC tried a bold experiment this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the anchor chair to lead the cable news channel’s coverage of the election.

That experiment appears to be over.

After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will remain as analysts during the coverage.

The change — which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle — is a direct result of tensions associated with the channel’s perceived shift to the political left.

“The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into what’s supposed to be straight news programming,” said Davidson Goldin, formerly the editorial director of MSNBC and a co-founder of the reputation management firm DolceGoldin.

This news must have the KOSsacks and the Dummies of the Underbelly* up in arms. Their brand of hate filled slanted “news coverage” is at an end because the public has caught on to the agenda driven slant. Tom Brokaw and serious journalists see their “profession” being dragged into the mud and they are not happy about it. Soon we should see this bleed into the print media, what we call the dead tree media. As newspapers across the nation continue to cut staff due to the expansion of internet based news and the alternative media. The bias at the New York Times, LA Times, and others has been the real cause of the drop in circulation. NBC saw the poor ratings and made a change. Perhaps the dead tree media will see the dropping circulation numbers and wise up as well. But, I won’t hold my breath.

The MSM sees this election as THE election that they get to decide. It is bad enough that the Republican Nominee was selected by the New York Times, who by the way, has turned on their pick in order to support their real choice for President, Barack Hussein Obama.

I guess we won’t have to hear about Matthew’s “tingly feelings in his legs” anymore.
