Commies - fighting amongst themselves

Amid a spate of awkward on-air conflicts among MNSBC anchors at this week’s Democratic convention, some staff members say there are sharp internal disputes at the cable network over whether its opinion and personality-driven political coverage has crossed the line.

“The situation at our channel is about to blow up,” a high-ranking MSNBC journalist told Politico on Wednesday.

Two other MSNBC sources said some of the testy on-air exchanges between Keith Olbermann — whose quick-witted and often caustic commentary has fueled ratings growth — and other network personalities were a public glimpse of much more intense behind-the-scenes turmoil.

As replays of the conflicts became YouTube hits, MSNBC President Phil Griffin gave his first public defense in a Politico interview.

“MSNBC does not have an ideology,” Griffin said. “We hire smart people who are passionate about their love of politics and love of news.” More here:

Right - MSNBC doesn't have an ideology. It's just a coincidence that 90% of your "anchors" are libs. You hire smart people - like Keith Overbite. What a genius he is.

I don't know if you've been following this little dust up but it has been interesting.

Keith Overbite got Dan Abrams fired. Probably because Abrams wasn't communist enough for Overbite ... and Abrams is a HUGE commie.

Then, recently, David (the commie) Shuster found it necessary to point out the fact that Scarborough was a Republican (implying right-wing bias) and Scarborough went off on his ass, but good.
