Even Further Off the Deep End?

News just came out yesterday that MSNBC is going to cancel “Verdict” with Dan Abrams and replace him with an hour of Rachel Maddow. 

MSNBC has put heavy emphasis this year on presidential election coverage (it has given itself the tag line, “The Place for Politics”) and has turned to Ms. Maddow frequently both as a guest and as a substitute for the network’s most popular host, Keith Olbermann. Mr. Olbermann’s emergence as the signature personality on the network has led to an unofficial rebranding of MSNBC as the liberal alternative to Fox News, which is dominated by conservative hosts like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.

MSNBC has been known to be seeking a way to capitalize to a greater degree on Mr. Olbermann’s popularity. A program hosted by Ms. Maddow will almost certainly be a closer ideological fit with Mr. Olbermann’s.

I’ve been watching MSNBC a lot lately, probably because I’m watching the Olympics and then the channel is just on.  I think it’s a stretch to call it “rebranded” as a “liberal alternative” to Fox News. 

Let’s be clear, Fox News is clearly a channel that plays more to a conservative audience.  Nevertheless, they will do all they can to remain “fair and balanced” and always offer a liberal and a conservative point of view on the air at the same time.  MSNBC, on the other hand, has no desire to offer that...they’ll have two “commentators” from Air America on to offer you their opinion. 

The phrase fell off the deep end comes to mind, but how can you phrase it when the channel has already hit rock bottom?  Whatever, they found the audience that pays their bills, and it’s the far left.  Play to your audience.

UPDATE: Here’s video from Olbermann Watch:

Plenty more of proving Olbermann’s a degenerate at Olbermann Watch

This entire Network with its many correspondents are uniformly serving as the official organ of the Obama campaign. The entire U.S media is in the tank for Obama. Even the CNN receycled Fox reporter Bill Hammer, presented such a puff special on Obama one could only think he was signed as a campaign spokesperson. It is evident that Mr. Jeff Immelt, G.E - CEO, who cuts deal with iran (our “Ally” ?) lost his way. With 8 years of poor stock performance clever investors bailed out from this stock of stocks, leaving only the underperforming fund managers and the employees holding on to the stock with their dear life. Every single guest, presenter and commentator with two exceptions are fully in the Obama camp. To top it all, the discredited unDemocrats demand fairness in the media - meaning, every guest or presenter has to be an Obamacon.
