I am so sick of the management there firing their best talent because they have the audacity to speak the truth. Limpballs, Halperin, Joe Scar. say anything damn lie and vile comment and there are never ANY consequences. I have never gotten over Keith Olbermann, and the list just continues to grow. I am told that Time Warner in this area will be broadcasting Al Jazerra soon, and I think I'll take my business there. MSNBC is becoming a joke.
