Scarborough Loses it On David Shuster
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyOn MSNBC's Morning Joe yesterday, David Shuster challenged Joe Scarborough on his remarks about a timetable in Iraq, and Scarborough just lost it.This isn't the first time Joe has folded under a little pressure from a colleague.

Shuster Returns, Clinton 'Relents' on Debate
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyBroadcasting and Cable Magazine reports that David Shuster will return to MSNBC on February 22, shortly before the Democratic debate in Ohio. Shuster was suspended following a remark that he made, about Chelsea Clinton, as guest host on the Feb. 7 edition of "Tucker." The remark touched off a firestorm that included surprising, and disappointing, reactions from MSNBC, Countdown host Keith Olbermann, and Senator Hillary Clinton. MSNBC suspended Shuster, Olbermann gravely announcing the disciplinary action and calling the remark "indefensible", and Senator Clinton threatening to pull out of a ...
CNN Fires Producer Over Blog
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyBlogger Terry Heaton reports that CNN fired American Morning producer Chez Pazienza from his post at the show today over content on his somewhat edgy blog Deus Ex Malcontent.

"What was the reason for my abrupt and untimely dismissal? You're reading it. More to come soon." In light of ...

I'm going to try a little something new this week, adding a poll to see what your favorite VOTW was. We'll see how that goes. First up this week is a parody ...
MSNBC 'Imus'es Schuster For Chelsea Gaffe
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyKeith Olbermann reported, very gravely, that MSNBC had suspended David Shuster for what the Countdown host called "an utterly innappropriate and indefensible thing to say." This incident has echoes of last year's Don Imus kerfuffle. In fact, there seems to be a direct corollary between Imus' dismissal from MSNBC and Shuster's suspension, a sort of "See, we're SUPER-fair." There are several problems with this, which I'll get into after the jump, including what GOP Presidential nominee John McCain had to say about a then-18 year-old Chelsea and how decency only seems to punish the truly decent. ...
