There's a few things missing from this story (which is getting reposted often). One is Rachel's side Hekate Mar 2022 #20

Who is stopping Rachel from giving her side? Sneederbunk Mar 2022 #59

Here at DU, Rachel is being blamed for "spiking" his chances. Since a lot of folks like to ... Hekate Mar 2022 #60

When you're fired by ESPN, Fox, MSNBC and Current, maybe the problem isn't management nt AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #26

That's some very funny mixed metaphors. Earth-shine Mar 2022 #31

There's probably a reason he hasn't had a TV gig in a decade AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #28

Yep. Operative words "can be" relayerbob Mar 2022 #39

Sure both MSNBC and CNN are right wing...Keith is not. And since he gave Rachel her start...I see Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #49

So he's too left wing. That why he was fired from Current? AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #55

Not a fan BlueIdaho Mar 2022 #29

No he doesn't. He was fired for contributing to a Democrat...Morning Joe did the same thing and Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #50

Thanks for sharing BlueIdaho Mar 2022 #53

He donated to Democrats in exchange for appearances on his show AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #56

Keith was way more effective than any of the others including Rachel IMHO...as for whining...why Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #52
