Keith Olbermann abruptly departs MSNBC
January 21, 2011 | 6:11 pm

Olbermann
MSNBC announced Friday night that its marquee "Countdown" anchor and talk show host Keith Olbermann was out. The network did not provide a reason for his abrupt departure.

"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors," NBC Universal said in a statement.

Olbermann and his bosses have clashed in recent months. He was suspended in November for two days after revelations that he gave donations to a Democratic political candidate, which was a violation of the company's ethics policies for news employees.

I'm of the firm opinion that giving money to the Dems at all is a violation of ethics. But what do I know, I'm just an American.

Looks like pooper scooper Cooper was fired as well. Is comcast trying to get rid of the most progressive idiots out in the news media? If so....I like it.

(And what the heck is with the DU meme where they spell TV as "tee vee?" Never have gotten that. Always thought it fit right in there, because it's stooooooooopid.

They spell it as tee vee to thumb their noses at the little people who watch TV, yet they seem to watch a lot of tee vee themselves. Just the usual liberal elitism.
