The New York Times reports Keith Olbermann has left his MSNBC program. “In a closing statement on his show, Mr. Olbermann said simply that it would be the last edition of the program. He offered no explanation other than on occasion, the show had become too much for him.”
I never liked Keith Olbermann. I also don’t like most of the hosts on Fox News. The reason is I am a moderate. Their bombastic attacks are outrageous. That is the difficulty us moderates face. There just aren’t many middle of the roaders appearing on radio or television. Right now I can only identify two commentators who are relatively moderate. John Avlon who appears as a guest commentator on CNN and Michael Smerconish, a Philadelphia talk radio host that is broadcast in other markets and an occasional host on MSNBC. Perhaps that is because being sensible is just not as entertaining. That is the duty of all television and radio programs. It’s all about ratings.
Perhaps this is a first act by Comcast now that they own MSNBC. If that is the case then say goodbye to Ed Shultz and Chris Matthews.
