Amazing. Rachel Maddow doesn’t watch her own network! ;)
For the record, I like having both liberals and conservatives out there in the media to poke, prod, and annoy each other. I actually lament the lack of liberal/progressive radio shows these days, but the truth is that the ones that have been on in Houston over the past decade or so just haven’t been very good.
Keith Olbermann — and he would hate me for swaying this — seems to be trying to be the liberal’s Rush Limbaugh. Lately he’s been comporting himself the way Rush did in the late 80’s and early 90’s. And I do hope he gets back on the air soon, even though I agree with him on almost nothing. But it sounds like this was just a misstep on his part that ultimately shouldn’t make much trouble for anyone. Kudos to MSNBC for sticking to their policy, and Keith, buddy, I hope you get your desk back soon.
11/6 update – I like Craig Shirley’s take on MSNBC’s policy.
On Olbermann: Watch some TV, Rachel!
