Keith coming out of retirement. This...

[YvonneCa]

...morning on The View. 🎉🎉🎉

[CoffeeCat]

1. Please tell me

that this is true, and that he's coming out of retirement to do political commentary. Not sports.

If this is true, it's one of the greatest pieces of news I've heard in a while.

He is greatly missed and his voice could have an impact on this election.

4. I have missed his voice! Good news! nt

[elljay]

6. Me, too

By all accounts he's "difficult" to work with, but his comments were absolutely brilliant. I was sad when Current shut down and MSNBC proves to be a bust. We now have The Young Turks streaming, Randi Rhodes coming back, and now, hopefully, Keith. The most interesting election of my life just became even more interesting!

[Duval]

11. I didn't know that about Randi.

You're right, with these guys commenting, we're going to be better informed. Keith's satire is brilliant.

[elljay]

19. She just completed her Kickstarter funding

The show will be streaming online with, I assume, a podcasting option. I first heard her show many years ago, on local Palm Beach County radio, when I visited my parents- my dad listened every day. Missed her the past couple of years!

[Else You Are Mad]

15. I miss..

Current!! Current had the best 3 hour block of liberal media political coverage ever put on television. I doubt we will ever have another network like it -- and, we will never have another network that will be willing to play the Tupac/Biggie murder and the war on marijuana documentaries as often as Current

[elljay]

20. Vanguard was amazing. nt

[monmouth4]

25. Joe Scarborough had a lot to do with him no longer being on MSNBC. I doubt Keith would return there

[revbones]

27. I tried Randi for a while back on Air America, etc...

She just never clicked with me.

[elljay]

30. She is not for everyone

Being a Jew originally from NY myself, she's just like family so I can easily relate. I do know that people from other backgrounds and cultures can find her challenging. However, she is meticulous with her facts and puts the original sources on her website so you will be informed, if you can get past the personality.

[revbones]

33. This was back when Al Franken was on Air America as well.

I dug him and other progressive or liberal hosts such as Thom Hartmann, Ed Shultz, TYT (this was back when Jill Pike was on with Cenk before she went to Third Way) but I still enjoy Thom and Cenk.

I'm not a huge fan of Stephanie something or other either. Can't remember her last name, but she used to be an occasional guest on Thom Hartmann's show.

Before I seem sexist for not appreciating Randi or Stephanie, Anna rocks it on TYT.

[elljay]

34. Stephanie Miller

She has the morning drive time slot (at least here in California) on the XM progressive station. I used to listen to Morning Sedition on Air America (and when we had progressive radio in the Bay Area). Steph is nowhere near as good as Marc Maron et al. She's ok though gushing a bit too much about Hillary for my personal taste. This morning she was explaining that Hillary has the same supporter enthusiasm level as Bernie. She based this on the $250 per person Hillary fundraiser she went bersus the thousands who went to see Bernie for free yesterday. Bernie even spoke to those outside who couldn't get in; Hillary only talks to you if you pay.

10. Thanks for posting this.

[valerief]

24. I hope he comes back soon! nt

[Vinca]

2. Where's he going to land????

[MadDAsHell]

22. Somewhere where they don't care how he treats his coworkers.

But anywhere concerned about potential lawsuits for a hostile workplace will probably avoid him like the plague.

[Metric System]

3. Will he say that Bernie should drop out or be taken to a back room and not come out?

[PADemD]

5. That article is from 2008.

[Fuddnik]

8. Is that Metric Years or Leap years?

[SunSeeker]

17. So it's ok for him to have spewed that misogynistic hate because he did it 8 years ago?

[Mary Mac]

9. yikes

Well everyone is allowed one sin.

[Happenstance24]

29. One? He was saying that stuff nightly.

Including accusing Hillary of lying to her voters for not dropping out. He wasn't close to being alone in it either. Stuff like this is why I lmao at Bernie stans talking about unfair media coverage. When they start calling him out as conning his supporters they'll have a point.

[SunSeeker]

16. Wow. That was ugly of Olbermann.

[Jackilope]

7. Miss him!! No definite announcement where...

It kind of was rushed at end but it sounded like he was making a pitch to whoever would pick him up.

With social media and alternate new sources, I'd like to see him start up something or join up with Big Ed, Young Turks, Democracy Now and give cable news a real run for the money and crush the shell of whatever that is at MSNBC.

[Duval]

12. +1!! nt

[Zen Democrat]

13. NBC / MSNBC are notorious for managed news.

Remember Meet the Press with Russert and Colin Powell discussing Iraq, when the producer "Wendy" killed the camera and you could hear Powell chastise her. "What's going on, Wendy?"

Then Tweety with the "You want me to stop?", when praising Bernie Sanders.

There is no free press EXCEPT for Online. The only place where the truth is told. Many stories have been grudgingly mentioned in Corporate Media because the stories blew up on the internet.

18. +1 n/t

[bvar22]

28. That was true in 2008.

In a surprising victory, John Edwards finished ahead of Hillary (distant 3rd) with Obama in the lead in the Iowa caucus.
I anxiously tuned into Rachel's show, expecting excited talk about Edward's surprising upset 2nd place finish.
In a 1 hour program, dedicated mostly to the Iowa Caucus, John Edwards' name was NOT mentioned ONCE despite his surprising 2nd Place.

It was glaringly odd that Rachel announced the 1st Place, skipped over 2nd place, and went directly to the distant 3rd place Hillary....and then Promoted UP how it was a horse race between Obama & Hillary.
WTF?

Olberman came on next, and I was thinking that NOW we will get to hear about Edward's upset 2nd Place and momentum....but NO.
Olberman's show did the same as Rachel's show.
John Edwards name was not mentioned ONCE.

It was clear then that they both were following corporate orders: the corporate ordered narrative had been decided: The Democratic Primary was a Horse Race between Obama and Hillary (the two corporate, Wall Street candidates).
I lost respect for both Rachel and Keith, and stopped watching both of them that night.

[grasswire]

37. I remember that!

The camera cut to a potted plant, and Powell was still talking.

[MynameisBlarney]

14. Such good news.

I bet he's been chompin' at the bit to get back into the thick of it.

[rurallib]

21. he would fit well on free speech TV

they'd pretty much let him do what he wanted.

[New Earth]

23. He should join TYT!

[Hekate]

26. By the light of his burning bridges, I perceive he has an authority problem. Still, I miss him.

I tuned in to The View just to see what Keith has been up to.

[OhZone]

31. That would be great! I also recommend -

Stephanie Miller and Bob and Chez!

32. “So, anybody who wants to, just call me,” he told host Joy Behar

Hope his phone is ringing!

He has been missed!

[colsohlibgal]

35. The Sooner The Better

Keith back with Randy coming back also....a really nice daily double.

I used to listen to Stephanie Miller daily but not lately, she is too in the tank for HRC.

[Skittles]

36. I wish Jon Stewart would consider doing the same

the material he could have had

[grasswire]

38. Hooooray!

The Bernie birdy, and Keith too!

[Jitter65]

39. Just in time to jump on the Sanders bandwagon. Hoping the millennials will make him relevant again.

Hope it works for him.
