The Cable Gamer has been saying for a long time that MSNBC's lefty idyll, in which all the on-air talent fell in love with Barack Obama, wouldn't last long. Sorry, Rachel Maddow, but you climbed aboard a sinking ship. (OK, actually, I am not sorry.)
Why did I know that MSNBC's Bolshevik period prove to be a brief encounter?
Two big reasons:
First, GE execs, and GE shareholders, wouldn't put up with such lefty antics, in which even Hillary Clinton was scorned. And now we see plenty of confirmation.
Second, Olbermann himself would blow up. He and his act are getting plenty of criticism, and Portfolio's Jeff Bercovici agrees with me: It's just a matter of time before Olbermann departs. Exit, stage left, you might say.
