When he came on the air a decade+ ago, he really was a unique voice and he built that network up.
It's sad to see him on youtube. Though I would add, that I wish he would talk like he did in his earlier days.
There is certainly plenty to be rightly outraged. Keith is too amped up these days for some messages to resonate.
Outside of that, I wish he were back on a network. Nothing beats what he did during the Bush years, especially his segments like the ones where he called out how politicized the terror alerts were.

MSNBC has made a huge mistake in expecting a shortsighted move toward Republican group think is going to find any takers in the growing numbers of Americans who are very dismayed and alarmed by what they see Trump and the GOP are doing to the country and the world we share with all people.
As weak as they were, MSNBC was the one of the few sources of opposition reporting that laid open the lies and skulduggery of the Bush Administration. We need that now more than ever, and look what TPTB at that network offer up to a liberal audience in search hardcore facts, transparency, truth and real journalism... SAD!

There's a constant stream of OP's either whining about MSNBC cause it has some rightwing idiots on during the day or pushing unsubstantiated lies about them firing this person or whatever.
It's transparent.
Edit- and as far as Olbermann, he does rants that are posted on FB on a regular basis. Not missing much.

BTW, we know that Olbermann can be viewed "on FB" as I noted youtube in my post.
