So this new move is supposed to offer Olbermann and Matthews more freedom of expression.

Olbermann’s strong left views and his harsh exchanges of words with other MSNBC hosts have been in the headlines all summer. He had no sympathy when GOP expressed anger at Internet news about Sarah Palin’s personal life. He also sarcastically dismissed Republican pundit Pat Buchanan on the air, after Buchanan said he thought the GOP had been enlivened by Sarah Palin’s vice presidential nomination.

Moreover, he also couldn’t help mocking his own colleagues. As Joe Scarborough was discussing the positive developments in McCain’s campaign, Olbermann could be heard in the background, saying: “Jesus, Joe, why don't you get a shovel?”

Representatives of New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and, more recently, Republican presidential nominee John McCain, have objected to NBC executives about the two commentators.

I think Olbermann is right most of the time, this change is just another sign of media manipulation by management to help you with your view of the of what they want you to see. Objectiveness being replaced with subjectivness at it's best.

Republicans whine and Republicans bitch: "Our
rich are too poor, and our poor are too rich."

I think Olbermann is right most of the time,

Objectiveness being replaced with subjectivness at it's best.

Give me a break, Olbermann is the most bitter, Bush hating tool of the moveon.org crowd ever....

He's upset, and rightly so, and you should be too. The fact that you take the position you do represents the problem that got us into the situation, you are trying so hard to avoid talking about. Why are they pissed? Why do they hate us? How has this administration gotten this nation so far off course? What the hell are you on? Greed?
