At the end of tonight’s “Countdown,” Keith Olbermann announced that it would be his last show on MSNBC. One day after the merger between NBC and Comcast was approved. This is no coincidence! Brian Roberts, Comcast’s CEO, is a member of the conservative Business Roundtable and no doubt prioritized axing Olbermann as job one once he got his hands on MSNBC. I for one am sad to see how swiftly this occurred and hope that Olbermann finds a new home sooner than later.
