Keith Olbermann Quits MSNBC; Both Sides Mum on Reason

Keith Olbermann was the reason I began watching MSNBC. He was always straight-foward and peeled back the layers of some of the heavily padded news (or at least what masquerades as news). I did not always agree with everything he said, but generally he was right on target and truthful.That made him refreshing; because truth is a rare commodity in the News Media today. I miss him already and hope he returns to the forefront very soon. Keith, if you read this, know that you have a lot of many supporters. I look forward to seeing you again, very soon. May God Bless you and your family.

Keith Olbermann's program was one of the best on MSNBC and spoke to masses of every day people and their concerns. Those who criticize are in for an awakening if the extreme right wing take control of this country. I did not aways agree on some of his positions but most of them were right on. I'm old enough to have lived through six republican agenda's and each one has hurt this country more than the previous one. As Keith would say "God help us all". I wish him the best.

Thank you Comcast.

..go back to sports you can't fudge there. A hit's a hit, a touchdown a touchdown, perfect, you won't have to incorporate information and disseminate it back to the masses.

i wonder if Keith will get the same backlash as Sarah Palin did for quitting his job in the middle of a contract

MSNBC Ratings are at best dismal
The leftist based programming either has to be supported(NPR)
or "borrows" funds from the Boys Club(Air America)
The numbers don't lie....very few agree with the programming at MSNBC.
And the NEW owners know it....look for BIG changes at MSNBC or it will shut down.

I began watching MSNBC because of Keith Olbermann. I found him to be personable and truly empathetic to the llives of ordinary Americans. Also, quick to point out hypocrisy. He brought in Rachel Maddow who is incredibly smart and was great at moving Olbermann's topics further. I will stay tuned for Olbermann's next move. He won't be silenced for long. Stay tuned to see where he lands. I will as will many many others.

Hope for all our sake you and MSNBC can find a middle road and you return. Looked forward to seeing and listening to you every night. Good luck.

Never had a conservative on the program. Never had a debate with anyone. His lineup of guests was a left-wing echo chamber so there was no "analysis" only propaganda. He constantly took cheap shots at anyone to the right of Scott Brown, but NEVER allowed airtime for rebuttal. I used to watch MSNBC to get the perspective from the left, but except for Mathews, there is no debate. Just constant diatribe, invective and demonization. Glenn Beck is the ONLY person on Fox who doesn't have a constant flow of liberals, and O'Reilly, who typically beats Olberman by 3 or 4 : 1, has cultivated a stable of leftists who are on consistantly. Some have predicted Olberman will make a comeback. Where? Air America is dead, CNN will not touch him, NPR has enough problems, and Media Matters, Daily Kos, or Huffington is not enough of a venue. He's done for the forseeable future.

No match for O'Reilly. Seemed to be a puppet for Imelt spewing forth how wonderful those on the left were while those on the right, were to be mocked and ridiculed. Like Sharpton, he wanted to divide people instead of uniting. A very bitter and angry man. This country will NEVER be the way he wants it to be. Thank God!
