Their shows remain on MSNBC. They just won't be news anchors during the debates and whatnot.

Rachel Maddow was picked up prior to Olbermann and Matthews achoring the conventions.

P/N

Actually, I thought Olbermann and Patrick were the best SportsCenter anchors ever. Those two together were absolutely hilarious. Craig Kilborn was another hilarious SC anchor, who's career has completely fallen apart, but at least Olbermann is still employed. Kilborn and Olbermann should have stayed at ESPN. They will never achieve the success they had on that network. Olbermann should have stuck with sports because he is a failure at doing anything else. A comedian - yes, a legitimate news anchor covering an election - no.

I don't watch MSNBC, so I was blissfully unaware of whatever Olbermann and Matthews were doing during the conventions(although I am aware of their shows). I caught this bit of news on CNN, who seemed amused by MSNBCs "journalistic integrity", by putting those two on there. I watched the conventions on CSPAN so I could be free of the political commentary of idiots like those guys. I like thinking for myself I guess.

Olbermann is right up there on the whacko chart right beside O'Reilly and Hannity as far as I am concerned.

I wouldn't want to sit near them at a live broadcast with people around. That could be dangerous.

I hope I followed these "breaking news rules" correctly

EDIT: Had to, the title of the link story was too long so I just slighty modified it.

I thought this was an interesting story that MSNBC is doing to its Co-anchors they have used. The article says they are doing this after the many disputes those two had during the Convention coverage.

Thoughts?

The ironic thing IMO it was likely Brian William’s appearance on “The Daily Show” and Stewart’s comments that broke the camel’s back. When the darling of left wing media is ragging on your network for being a “Lohan” like family, you gotta wake up and smell the coffee. Congrats to NBC for making the smart move, though I think it means I won’t be as personally entertained without Olberman insulting his co-host on air and sowing dissention in the MSNBC ranks.

I got my DVR set for MSNBC from 7pm to 10pm. Something tells me this might be addressed.
