In his good-bye, Keith doesn’t explain his sudden exit, and the breaking of his $40 million contract. The fact however, is that Comcast, which takes control of MSNBC next week, is a conservative corporation with ties to Newscorp the owner of the Fox News Channel. The writing was is on the wall. Does anyone wish to talk about the proliferation of the liberal news media? Anyone even remember Air America?

The shake up is moves Lawrence O’Donnell from the LAST WORD into Olbermann’s earlier slot. This also makes Rachel Maddow the top star at MSNBC. So to keep the civility FAIR AND BALANCED we expect an announcement from Roger Ailes that he has sent Glenn Beck out to pasture. We are holding our breath!
