Is MSNBC all Gustav all the time now?? Why are they muzzling Olbermann on this day of days?!?

This is bullshit.

All these big stories break and Keith is banished to Gustav-ville

This sucks. I'm actually having to watch CNN.

1. Well now KO has done news sports and weather

hope he lets them know it was a wasted day for him.

[az chela]

2. I was waiting for KO SHOW

I had to go to CNN too

[book_worm]

3. Me too, I wanted his take on Palin

4. I think MSNBC has been threatened with "access". I also think that's

why Keith was pulled to cover the storm. They are a very vindictive bunch.

5. The Palin attack might seem insensitive during a hurricane.

6. As usual, they overdid it.

They were still 100% coverage after the storm had come on land and it was evident that it wasn't as bad as they had hoped.

9. Oh, right....

Just because it didn't hit NOLA it's no big deal.

Tell that to the approximately 750,000 people in Louisiana that don't have power tonight, and aren't likely to get it back for weeks.

:mad:

7. There was one brief blip where Olbermann talked to Tweety

with Tweety at the Convention and Olbermann in NY doing hurricane coverage. It was very obvious that the two of them were muzzled and were not allowed to talk about the big political news story of the day nor were they allowed to mention Palin's name. The only thing they could discuss was how the convention (Tweety's beat) was being impacted by the hurricane (Olbermann's beat) and how the repukes and Shrub were dealing with that.

This was unfrickin' believable. You could almost tell that the two of them had obviously talked offline about this nonsense but "did what they were told".

So damn sad.

8. they must both be pissing themselves a little

chomping at the bit to go after this

11. It's Labor Day.

I'm surprised it's not "Lockup" all day long.

[Moochy]

13. Hard Labor day? MSNBCPrisons(tm)

LET THIS PRISON-TV BE A LESSON TO YOU PROLES!! THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS GREAT, ALL IT NEEDS ARE MORE JAILS!!!

RETURN TO YOUR LABOR DAY ACTIVITIES.

[the Sundance Kid]

14. ahhh, Lockup, the Breakfast of Champions!

[Moochy]

12. Honestly?

Because the RNC convention looked like it was going to be a wash, and maybe he took the day off. :)
