Now, if you say mocking disdain, you would speak the truth. The one you should lash out at is MSNBC/NBC for dumping him. He had a niche market, serving the far left fringe of society. That will not pull in the viewers. Obviously, he wasn't effective, expect for his loyal fans.

The fact that so many are celebrating his departure is enormously telling about how FEARFUL the far right wingers were of Olbermann. If he had been a "nobody" who would have noticed? He was/is an influential person and he had many important and influential people on his show. But the far right "corporatists" just couldn't let Olbermann continue to speak the truth, it was too dangerous to their "ends." MSNBC as just begun to "tone it down" and thereby desensitizing people to the truth.....because the truth will not be spoken in such clear terms as Olberman did on MSNBC anymore.
Does anyone else hear the Twilight Zone music playing in the background?

One big conspiracy.

The problem was that all they do at MSNBC is show clips of FOX News programs and conservative politicians and make fun of them.

Nothing original.

One can only take so much.
How do you know? Are you a regular fan of MSNBC? Do you watch every day?

You know, sometimes it's considered prostitution to do things (compromise your values, lie to people, etc.) just for money. I don't understand how so much trash and censorship is justified because people make money from it. So you like having "Corporate American" decide what is available for you to watch, see, hear?
