MSNBC Pulls Plug on Matthews/Olbermann Tag Team Bug wits Election Coverage

[Cicero]

KO covers the conventions as a "journalist" while simultaneously calling McCain the "Worst Person In The World" on his "Countdown."

Best observation on the open rancor between Olbermann and the occasional MSNBC conservative:

All the drama made MSNBC a punch line when top NBC anchor Brian Williams appeared on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" last week. "Is there no control?" host Jon Stewart asked him. "`Is it `Lord of the Flies?'"

A sheepish Williams said that every family has a dynamic of its own.

"But does MSNBC have to be the Lohans?" Stewart said.

Best observation on the open rancor between Olbermann and the occasional MSNBC conservative:

Stewart already deflated the Hindenburg Matthews when he appeared on "The Daily Show" to promote his nonsensical book. After this latest embarrassment, KO will avoid "The Daily Show" like the Goodyear Blimp avoids Bruce Dern.

No wonder MSNBC has a lock on third place among the News Networks.
Olbermann has a right to his opinions, but MSNBC should not have used him as a "straight" jounalist to cover the election to begin with.. I have no problem with him doing a commentary, but using him a main host for election coverage is pretty stupid. Even Fox knows better then to put Hannity or O Reilly in charge of the election desk. MSNBC had to learn the hard way. MSNBC continues to look like an amateur operation.

They are obviously trying to become a Fox News Of The Left, but they are just not very good at it.
