Quick turn on Keith Olbermann now to see his last show!
He just attacked "corporations" not specifically Citi Group, saying we need to de-claw corporations. He works for a big ass corporation.

Bye Keith, because I don't think they're going to let you stay on the air.

1. He's pretty riled up ... "ENOUGH!"
Maybe he's decided to emulate Obama and "go big or
go home." !!!

2. Well the thing about pimps (m$NBC)
Is that they want their whores (no offense intended to Keith or Rachel) to bring in money, and Keith brings in money.
He isn't going anywhere.

4. We can hope

Haven't bothered to watch him for a very long time. I got po'd by his misogyny ages ago. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy, if he did lose his $5 million a year CORPORATE job. Maybe they will kick Matthews to the curb right along side him.

10. Misogyny = He dared to criticize St. Hillary
And as much as I hate tweety, that is the main reason some here hate him.

To those PUMAs out there(and you know who you are) that still have an Ax to grind, I say this, a lot of people were happy when Obama took Hillary for Secretary of State, but there were also many who booed. There are many on this site who think her idea of solving the Mid-east crisis is to let the Israelis get away with genocide, and turn a blind eye to the Israelis. Of course, many of these same people think the solution to that same crisis is to let the Arabs get away with genocide, and turn a blind eye to the atrocities (couple with a few choice anti-jew remarks that they insist are not anti-jew at all.) The point is, Obama decided to take Hillary on board and give her a chance, so when you grind your teeth and sharpen axes, remember that while he did bring Hill on board, he could have easily left her out.

11. What's his oogling women on his show got to do with Hillary Clinton? He's a sexist shit.
Or do you think it's appropriate for him to tell women they're attractive and ask them to sit closer...on a "News" show?

14. It's fine if they were adults. Do you not trust those women to deal with it?

5. he said in an interview once that..........
....if he said something the management didn't like, they would live with it because he gets good ratings.......which basically means more money. And what are corporations always focused on? Money!!

If he brings in the cash, they don't care what he says!

6. Gee, and I thought he was a GE sellout for not talking about Stewart and Cramer
At least that's what lots of people were saying here on DU last week.

8. I was one of them, and it wasn't only DU.
And I'm so sorry we'd think that, of course that could easily be solved by breaking up the oligopoly that is GE, including all of its networks.

9. He's not going anywhere
He's MSNBC's cash cow. Between him and Rachel, their prime time advert income has soared.
