Why is KO wasting so much of his great program's time

[malaise]

discussing the primaries. Leave that to useless Tweety - there is too much going on with this criminal administration.
KO is allowing Abrams to take the best part of his program. I really hate this.

1. I agree. nm

[polichick]

2. Dan Abrams is the big boss at msnbc...

At least he used to be. He probably likes it the way it is now.

[malaise]

3. KO gives all of them the ratings

and his fans do not turn on to see Tweety Part 2. I sure don't. The only reason I even see Abrams is because he follows KO.

[polichick]

5. Yeah, but Dan is the Decider! lol

Since he's an attorney, he probably wants to cover the legal stuff himself.

(I'm assuming he's still the boss.)

[Berry Cool]

7. Dan Abrams hasn't been in charge of MSNBC for some time now.

Get caught up to the facts. Abrams has no say over KO's show content.

[malaise]

8. Now this is why I turn on

Deal with Bush

[polichick]

11. "Get caught up to the facts"

How charming.

[Berry Cool]

21. Sorry, but my charm is not at an all-time high

when I see people repeating outdated information as fact and using it to "explain" other things.

[polichick]

24. What an ass you are...

My posts made it clear that I wasn't sure Abrams was still the boss ~ so obviously was not claiming to state a fact. Get over yourself!

4. oh hell

If we're gonna complain about KO content I'd rather say bye bye to the coverage of celebutards. My wife watches Olbermann with me until that starts up. Then she's gooooooonnneeee........

But while we're at it I agree.....let useless Kiss Assthews handle the primary stuff. KO is The Great Inquisitor.

6. Agreed n/t

[XboxWarrior]

12. More Sports.....Missing Whitey Girl?

What do you want?

Enjoy Keith and STFU

[malaise]

15. I don't want all this primary stuff

GEM$NBC has that all blasted day. I want KO to continue exposing Bush and his goons.
Now why don't you practice what you preach.

[Swamp Rat]

9. I really hate this too,

so much that I stopped watching his show.

[malaise]

13. I still watch forsegments like this

Rachel is great. KOs so good at this part. I just hate the primary bull.

[Swamp Rat]

16. I dig Olbermann, but I am SICK OF THE FLUFF!

GIMME SOME GODDAMN NEWS FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!

I don't have time for this bull shit anymore. There are MILLIONS of homeless and starving people out there, not to mention wars, genocides, and economic collapses.

22. me too , SwampRat. n/t

10. Rachel Maddow is on now

"with friends like this" They both say to show the hugging of bush and McCain the whole summer long.

[RamboLiberal]

14. If congress got some investigations going against this

administration then I'm sure KO would discuss it.

I like his slant on the primaries and with it being neck and neck with Clinton and Obama and the chance the damn super delegates could end up making the decision I want KO on the case.

If anything cut the damn entertainment news and give us both pieces of the pie! I bet most of KO's viewers tune that out. In fact I've read his ratings go down in the that slot.

[high density]

17. His show has always been tilted towards politics

IMO it's much more interesting to hear politics instead of talk about sugar refineries exploding or GM selling cars on eBay. What do you want him to talk about? He spends plenty of time exposing the crimes of this admin. "Bushed" is on every night to help keep all of the scabs open.

[malaise]

20. Politics but not so much about the primaries

and I agree with you re what's interesting. Perhaps I'm suffering from an overdose of primaries.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. He is covering the water boarding tape and discussions

but is rushing through it on his ''Bushed'' segment.

Now he brings on John Dean for comment.

[malaise]

19. KOs still the best but he's now rushing the best part of

the program to accommodate so much of the primaries. Nice discussion with John Dean.

23. KO Needs His Own Reporters

I don't expect it to happen, but that would realy set this show into orbit. He's limited on what he can show by what the network provides. Schuster free-lances for all the MSNBC shows and the rest of his reports come from the NBC Network. What he can say about the scandals he does in the "booooshed" section...and that is just short snippets similar to what we read on blogs.

It be interesting if KO could be a real assignment editor and have a couple investigative reporters working for him. I doubt GE would ever pop for that luxuary.

At least some of this stuff is now getting out...a lot better than where we were a couple years ago.
