MSNBC (Ostensibly) Does Some House Cleaning with Keith Olbermann & Chris Matthews

Things sure can move quickly today, now that Internet blogosphere has taken root.

First it was CBS that fell to the illuminating pressures from a group of 'pajama-wearing' journalists, now it is NBC (and their sister "news" channel: MSNBC).

In less than a week following the Republican convention and the tirades of the likes of Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and to a lesser extent, Chris Matthews, both Olberman and Matthews have been pulled from anchoring the election campaign reporting.

Olbermann's performance was so far over the top (and out of touch), that it sufficiently turned me off to the point that I no longer accept MSNBC as a responsible news organization—they have become an advocacy channel.

If fact, MSNBC made CNN appear balanced and center, which was a pretty incredible feat.

I can only hope Maddow (and her counter-culture view of the world) will also get the boot—she can return to the bankrupt wasteland known as Air America. where she belongs.

Olbermann's tiring and repeated attacks of Fox News and Bill O'Reilly (another egotistical blowhard 'journalist'), sounds like penis-envy, more than anything.

The anger and self-proclaimed elitism that is so pervasive with the hard-left is in overdrive suggesting to me that the McCain/Palin ticket is the winning one.

When the hard-left runs out of ideas and can not debate the merits of any one given issue, they resort to ad hominem personal attacks. That's been their MO and they're staying true to form.

I look forward to the day that political correctness is excised from our political discourse and honest and fair-minded debate returns.

World's Worst Persons in the World!
If you are looking for fair-and-balanced reporting of the events (without the biasing from either political viewpoint), then Brian Lamb's C-SPAN is the place to go.
