Tom Brokaw currently occupies the chair once held by the late, great Tim Russert on NBC's Meet The Press. While there's been much speculation on who will hold that spot once Brokaw's interim is over (with the current popular theory that it will be a whole host of people, including David Gregory and Chuck Todd) there is no doubt who won't be in the posish: Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.
The MSNBC in-fighting during the DNC was well-documented by the MSM, and it turns out that the catfight between Olbermann and Matthews nixed their chances of being the political anchors for the station…because of Brokaw himself.
In an interview here after Sunday’s broadcast, Mr. Brokaw said that over the summer he had “advocated” within the executive suite of NBC News to modify the anchor duties of the MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews on election night and on nights when there were presidential debates. Their expressions of strong political opinions from the MSNBC anchor desk has run counter to the more traditional role Mr. Brokaw played on “NBC Nightly News” for more than two decades. NBC said earlier this month that the two hosts would mostly relinquish their anchor duties to Mr. Gregory, while being present as analysts.
Waah-waah. Keith and Chris should now go on some sort of wonky revenge caper film, ala Grumpy Old Men (or Grumpy Old Men 2: Grumpier Old Men) to get back at Brokaw for pulling rank at the peacock.
Editorial Director
Good for Tom. My only question for him is, what took you so long?
Thank you VERY VERY much Mr. Brokaw. You sir are a great american. Now, can you get them removed completely and permanently?
I hear there's a nice retirement community with two beds just waiting for these dementia-rattled idiots. It's even in a red state.
Matthews, now known (derisively) on the internet as "Tweety", and Olbermann, who is an unabashed Obama booster, have a certain following, but have turned MSNBC into a faux-news joke.
And the joke continues with the debate night “analysis” on MSNBC, including the Olbermann-Maddow Obama love fest “there is NO DOUBT who won the debate,” and the vicious Matthews McCain attacks, likening John McCain to a “hunched over troll”.
You go, Tom B. Someone needed to stop that clown car. Now if he could target the remaining evening primetime anchor-shills.
I like Keith Olbermann he is much better than the conservative white trash on Fox News
If you are going to turn MSNBC into FoxNews, give the network new call letters. Break it ways from NBC, which has a long standing dignified reputation. I have no problem with developing a cable station that repudiates Fox News but, study Fox well and do what they do only with a liberal slant. Have Matthews if you want, have the other guy but make a rule that they don't snip at each other, it's classless, unprofessional and just plain annoying. Then Have Brokaw on the legitimate national/international news department. Heck, let him put together a staff that he feels will work. He's a great newsman, from the old school and someone to really hold on to.
