Reply #63: I saw Cooper's show. He did NOT say KO was fired. Gotta watch those sources.

Cooper said he had no idea what happened, so he was asking three phone guests, one of whom was David Shuster.

Cooper asked if KO had been fired, but no one knew. They all agreed he COULD have been. But someone said it was no secret that KO had been looking for a new position for some time and that he was unhappy at MSNBC.

The guests also said that there was one boss at MSNBC that KO got along with and who was definitely KO's protector (I forget the guy's name). Anyway, that guy abruptly left today or yesterday, because of the Comcast deal (I can't recall if he was fired).

It's possible that KO gave notice when the one boss he liked left. And when he gave notice, the company said "Adios. You can leave now."
