It's Not Too Late, MSNBC: 'Stay Crazy'

Posted Sep 8, 08 5:09 PM CDT in Business Opinion Politics 

(Newser) – David Gregory will be the face of MSNBC's election coverage, and the ouster of "loud shouty people" Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews isn't sitting well with at least one viewer. "It's a stupid, stupid idea, for many reasons," Alex Pareene writes on Gawker of NBC Universal's decision. "If people wanted Brian Williams and David Gregory to cover everything quietly and politely they'd actually watch your evening news."

In an open plea for MSNBC's president to stand his ground, Pareene reels off the reasons he wants the network to continue its perceived shift to the left. They include:

  • "This won't make conservatives shut up."
  • "The bitchery is great television."
  • "Now we have to watch Fox."
