Keith Olbermann just resigned from MSNBC

[No Passaran]

Anyone know the reason? Damn!

[niyad]

1. resigned or fired?

[H2O Man]

8. Resigned.

[Thunderstruck]

2. Looks like he was fired to me. nt

[Submariner]

3. Comcast CEO hates Keith's guts

and I seem to recall he said he would get rid of KO when merged with NBC.

[marmar]

9. I suspected that this was some Comcast-related BS

...... I hate that company.

[Ccarmona]

4. SHOCKED

[tridim]

I'm guessing his new Comcast overlords fired him for telling the truth.

[Tx4obama]

5. Resigned or fired? Is Maddow leaving too? n/t

[3waygeek]

10. We'll find out in the next 59 minutes...

Rachel has the night off, but substitute host Chris Hayes says we'll hear from her before the hour is up.

[Roselma]

6. Maybe the Comcast-NBC merger

would lead to him being essentially neutered.

[dhill926]

7. dammit!

gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

[derby378]

11. Comcast 1, Truthful Media 0

Laugh it up, O'Reilly, laugh it up, you bug-eyed soulless freak!

12. thank you congress

and Obama for this unholy marriage of corporate bile

[glinda]

17. His niceness has killed our media. Bright one Barack!

[patricia92243]

13. I wonder what he will do next. Wish CNN would hire him. I wonder what program will be in his old

time slot.

[Ruby the Liberal]

15. For what its worth, I saw a news blurb that Piers Morgan is going down in flames on Larry King's

old slot.

That said, that is NOT Keith's format. 1 hour of celebrity blah blah blah? Please. He would be better off going back to sports.

21. MSNBC on Monday

UPDATE: The new MSNBC evening line-up as of Monday: 6pm Cenk Uygur, 7pm Chris Matthews, 8pm Lawrence O'Donnell, 9pm Rachel Maddow, 10pm Ed Schultz.

Who is Cenk Uygur???

[Tom_Foolery]

14. Goodbye, MSNBC...

I will NEVER watch them again.

[Ruby the Liberal]

16. Likely what MSNBComcast is hoping for.

Good luck to them.

Bastards.

[bluestate10]

18. Stuck with Tweety.

For me, that is not Armageddon. For other it is.

[nolabear]

19. WTF? Where will he go? I can't imagine politics w/o KO.

I'm speechless.

[davidwparker]

22. FreeSpeech TV. Available on both satellite companies,

some cable, and streamed.

Viewer supported.

[Lairderg]

20. Wonderful

Corporate greed trumps the truth anytime. We're in more trouble than we think.
