Olberman And Matthews Get The Boot From Co-Anchor's During Political Event's
MSNBC is removing Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as the anchors of live political events, bowing to growing criticism that they are too opinionated to be seen as neutral in the heat of the presidential campaign.
David Gregory, the NBC newsman and White House correspondent who also hosts a program on MSNBC, will take over during such events as this fall's presidential and vice presidential debates and election night.
The move, confirmed by spokesmen for both networks, follows increasingly loud complaints about Olbermann's anchor role at the Democratic and Republican conventions. Olbermann, who regularly assails President Bush and GOP nominee John McCain on his "Countdown" program, was effusive in praising the acceptance speech of Democratic nominee Barack Obama. He drew flak Thursday when the Republicans played a video that included a tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, saying that if the networks had done that, "we would be rightly eviscerated at all quarters, perhaps by the Republican Party itself, for exploiting the memories of the dead, and perhaps even for trying to evoke that pain again. If you reacted to that videotape the way I did, I apologize."

This is the first thing I saw on the news when I returned from my eye appointment, Marie. HOOAH!
This is great! The second thing I saw was that McCain is now ahead in the polls. An even bigger HOOAH! What a great day!
Taking those two moronicans out of the politburo booth at NBC was a surprise to most everyone. These two guys have ben hitmen for the democrackheads for years.
Jon Stewart and MTV need to do some more campaigning for McCain.
