Media Meltdown

How can it be? No Olbermann or Matthews until after the elections? WHAT????

All you anti-media junkies out there (including me) have just received the greatest and possible the most truthful piece of news the media can offer. It is hard to imagine that a media source could be so forthcoming with news of great truth, but they managed to pull it off. Maybe this is what Obama meant when he said, "change that we can believe in." The most liberal news station on TV, MSNBC has just admitted their total irresponsibility over truthful and unbiased news reporting by booting both Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann from their anchor desks. Perhaps it was because MSNBC fell to dead last in the Nielsen rankings during the conventions or perhaps it was the "experience" of David Gregory that trumped the extremely liberal talking points of Olbermann and Matthews. Either way, the American people were basically told that MSNBC is sorry for its ultra liberal leaning and for practically giving a 24 hour a day endorsement of Obama.

Let's look at some of the numbers. During both Democrat and Republican Conventions, MSNBC scored dead last with an average of 2.5 million viewers a night, the leader being FOX News with almost 4 times the amount, 9.2 million average viewers a night. With such deplorable numbers as these, Olbermann and Matthews at the helm have driven MSNBC's numbers down the drain. It seems like management at MSNBC have clear evidence that the extreme liberal pandering of Matthews and especially Olbermann, they had to go. MSNBC will now turn to David Gregory, a former White House press corps person, to deliver less of an opinionated version of the news, which last I checked is supposed to be fact, not opinions.

Here are a few quotes that probably didn't take too kindly to the potential viewers that would have watched MSNBC during the conventions had Olbermann and Matthews not commanded the stage:

Olbermann (in reference to a 9/11 tribute video at the RNC): "We would be rightly eviscerated at all quarters, perhaps by the Republican Party itself, for exploiting the memories of the dead, and perhaps even for trying to evoke that pain again. If you reacted to that videotape the way I did, I apologize.”

Olbermann (after sarcastically dismissing GOP pundit Pat Buchanan for saying the the GOP base had been reestablished with Sarah Palin's nomination as VP): “Those reading Us Weekly with the picture of her and her youngest daughter with the word ’scandal’ written across it won’t be so happy.”

Olbermann (in reference to Palin's private personal life): “We’ll see if people feel sorry for unfounded rumors on the Internet,” he said. “If that’s the case, Senator Obama’s probably standing up and cheering and waiting for people to feel sorry for him.”

Olbermann (caught on microphone mocking another MSNBC host, Joe Scarborough for noting some positive developments in the McCain campaign): “Jesus, Joe, why don’t you get a shovel?”

Clearly we can see that Olbermann has made more enemies even within his own liberal media haven aka MSNBC. I would suggest Olbermann blog to let out some of his steam but he is so evil to his core that there is no hope for logic to settle into his brain. If viewership goes way up as a result of this detoxification of MSNBC, I think Matthews and Olbermann can kiss their shows goodbye. I can only pray that the Lord is extra forgiving on judgement day. Next stop..... CNN.
