Is Tom Brokaw On Crack?
I laughed out loud when I read media know-it-all Howie Kurtz's piece in the Daily Waste about the alleged in-fighting at MessNBC over general know-it-all Keith Olberman and his recent "suspension" for making monetary contributions to a handful of Democrat candidates campaigns. Not sure how the fact that he rolled out his check book and strikes a few checks is any different than the in-kind donation to the Democrat party he makes every night in the form of his TV show.
The laughable part comes when Kurtz alleges that "several of NBC’s front-line stars, including Tom Brokaw, have expressed concern to management that Olbermann has badly damaged MSNBC’s reputation for independence." Is Brokaw smoking crack?!! Has he ever bothered to tune in and watch anything on MessNBC? Or is he like most of America and has never watched this bunch of libtards?
"Stay Classy San Diego"
Yuck-master Kurtz cuts loose a belly laugher when he reasons that "NBC executives say that the cable channel is far better positioned to withstand an Olbermann departure than it might have been a year ago. Rachel Maddow has emerged as a genuine star, Ed Schultz is gaining momentum, Chris Matthews has been energized by the midterm campaign, and Lawrence O’Donnell has successfully launched a new show in the 10 p.m. hour previously reserved for Countdown reruns." Apparently group think extends to the crack pipe over at 30 Rock!
If Maddow got a closer shave...She could be the Karate Kid's Twin Brother!
What could these people possibly be thinking? This entire network is a train wreck. If it weren't for the utter cluelessness of CNN, then it's likely MessNBC would be lining up behind it's parent company General Electric for a taxpayer bailout! I'm constantly left scratching my head wondering how networks that are ratings also rans can justify shelling out big bucks deals like Olberman's $7 Million monstrosity. That deal makes it seem like CBS got a bargain when it comes to the rating-less Katie Couric.
