Fired Keith Oleblowhard for his lies. Looks like it was due to his violation of company policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Olbermann#Suspension On October 28, 2010, days before the 2010 U.S. elections, Olbermann donated $2,400 each to three Democratic candidates for Congress: Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, and Arizona Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.[66] Grijalva had appeared on Olbermann's show immediately before Olbermann mailed the donations. In response, on November 5, MSNBC President Phil Griffin suspended him indefinitely without pay for violating a network policy which required employees to obtain approval from management before making political contributions.[67][68] An online petition calling for his reinstatement received over 250,000 signatures;[69] two days after the suspension began, Griffin announced that Olbermann would return to the air on November 9.[69] Departure On January 21, 2011, Olbermann announced his departure from MSNBC and the episode would be the final episode of Countdown.[70][71] MSNBC issued a statement that it had ended its contract with Olbermann, with no further explanation. Additional reporting in the days immediately following suggested that the negotiations for the end of Olbermann's tenure at MSNBC had begun soon after the end of his suspension.[72] quote:
Youre joking right? 5 minutes of the Ed Show or Rachel Maddow have more misinformation than a week of Fox. Links please. I wouldn't have made my OP without the sources here http://mediamatters.org/research/201112160003?frontpage
