The poor man's obituary will read:
"Here lies Keith Olbermann. Sportscaster, Anti-establishment liberal political host and anchor... But most importantly, the man who, despite a decade long chase, could not quite catch Bill O'Reilly."

Then again, Chris says such stupid things perhaps he adds more entertainment value.
As far as a replacement, how about Jon Stewart? Isn't that where most left wingers like to tune in to get their news?

2) I will actually say, though, I'm not surprised about Olbermann's circumstances, as he was indeed pretty far out there, even for some democrats.

Originally posted by sh76It's pretty much an impossible task considering the demographics of Democrats and Republicans respectively.

Originally posted by sh76Well, Jon Stewart loathes MSNBC so we won't see that happen any time soon. But even if they find someone like Jon Stewart to fill his role they won't get the same ratings (as O'Reilly) because there are less hyperpartisan Democrats than there are hyperpartisan Republicans. This forum is a nice illustration of that. On one side we have bill718, on the other side whodey, utherpendragon, zeeblebot, etc.
No, it's impossible because Olbermann is a humorless arrogant twit. Put Jon Stewart in that slot and see what happens to his ratings.
