There is an article out today from the New York Times. MSNBC hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews were dropped from election coverage.
We won't see Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews hosting MSNBC debate coverage or election night coverage. Instead this role has been filled by David Gregory. Apparently some people thought that MSNBC was moving too far 'left' and were being made a target by the Republican party and Fox News.
I must say this is a real BS move by MSNBC and Tom Brokaw who I strongly suspect had something to do with this. Fox News has people like Sean Hannity, Fred Barnes, Dick Morris and Bill Kristol hosting their election coverage but MSNBC is going to cave into the right wing?
We will still see Olbermann and Matthews serving as political analysts but nothing more when it comes to election matters. I think the night Sarah Palin gave her speech at the RNC and mentioned media bias and the crowd chanted "NBC" that was the proverbial nail in the coffin for the two hosts.
I fully expect MSNBC's ratings to drop.
