20. Issue goes beyond Olbermann and Matthews...
I've sent an e-mail to MSNBC stating that the issue is clearly about caving to pressure from a political campaign to skew coverage in their favor. Where it seems quite clear that this move is a result of that is the fact that, in an effort to remain "unbiased", they've removed two perceived Obama supporters, yet have done nothing about the "perceived" McCain supports, ie Patrick Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, and David Gregory. Which, in essence, creates bias in their coverage rather than balance and fails in their journalistic duty. I've made it quite clear that, without balance, they will not get my viewership.
