But will MSNBC stand behind KO. They have already showed weakness by removing Tweety and KO from

[thepurpose]

the election coverage?

1. If they're not going to stand behind a 95% corporate puppet like Matthews, they aren't going to do

it for KO.

[democrat2thecore]

12. Chris Matthews is no corporate shill -nt

[ryanmuegge]

16. "John McCain deserves to be president." Look at the girly praise he lavished upon Guiliani

He most certainly is.

[quantass]

17. Not sure about that...To me i get the impression Tweety is just for well, "Tweety"

He has dumbfounded me at times but through all of it i actually think he might be democrat at heart but seems more eager to entertain himself than anything...yes he prefers a horse race but i mean early in the year when Obama began his rise Tweety, in his voice, he was in awe and the things he said sounded like he was inspired like he was young again working for the democrats.

2. KO and Rachel are the only two reasons I haven't dumped cable.

I think a lot of other people only turn on MSNBC to see them.

4. MSNBC has already proven they don't care about profit. Remember Phil?

[valerief]

6. Yes, them and Clean House. Mustn't forget good savage amusement.

[AndyTiedye]

3. Of Course Not!

[Condem]

5. He makes GE $$$$.

That's all they care about. Not really a drastic move. Not much left,except the debates,which they'll review and election night.

[quantass]

18. Exactly..Keith is MSNBC's highest rated program! They need him

[C_U_L8R]

7. I'm typing this now 2 blocks from ground zero

and I stand with Keith

And I am sickened that John McCain and his corrosive politics
will infest our neighborhood tomorrow.
McCain is not a hero... he's a weenie.
And he is not welcome here.

[RagAss]

8. Amen.... and he's senile.

[knixphan]

9. Amen x2

[EC]

10. They gave Keith a raise... n/t

[quantass]

19. $4 million/year

[BlueIdaho]

11. I've had a re-think

I was mad as a hornet when I heard MSNBC had removed Tweety and Keith from the news desk during the debates - but I've changed my mind. Intended or not they seem to have created to very focused gentlemen that have no need to be impartial. They may have just released to heat seeking missiles pointed directly at McCain's ass.

[democrat2thecore]

13. You got it, Blue. YOU GOT IT!

Free of "anchor" duties they can say whatever the hell they want. The top brass actually just gave KO and CM a punched ticket to join the fight without having to pretend "impartiality."

[BlooInBloo]

14. I'm betting he's gone after than special comment...

Fucking helluva way to go out, though. Rock the fuck on Keith!

[cliffordu]

15. Sigh. Taking them off the "neutered" I mean "Neutral" desk of the "news"

they are free to slash and burn the Repubs. Have you noticed how much more critical Tweety has been???

They are re-upping KO's contract, too....the concern, I believe is misplaced.
