Nice guy and one of the few members of the media who can think for themselves, rather than having the defense contractor who own's their network dictate to them.
But he violated company policy so he put his future in their hands.

Quoting their policy, "Anyone working for NBC News who takes part in civic or other outside activities may find that these activities jeopardize his or her standing as an impartial journalist because they may create the appearance of a conflict of interest,"
I don't get this. Olbermann is not a journalist, impartial or otherwise. He is a commentator, and his bend is completely transparent. He does not attempt to make any impartial appearance. So NBC doesn't allow commentators to contribute to political campaigns? Stupid.
I didn't like the guy when he did sports, and I don't like him now. His smug attitude makes me want to smack him in the face. And that is not political. It is entirely a personal dislike.
So NBC thinks they should be impartial? No. They are tired of paying his skyhigh salary while his ratings tank. This was a cheap way out. IMNSHO.

In other news, I saw this guy Monday:
I can't say I met him, because there are only a few people on this planet who I would stand in line to shake hands. And he ain't one of them. But I was in the same room with him.

I wish that he had a good show. All those things turn to a bunch of lame personalities, deadlines and arguments. Hate that guy. I would enjoy a bike building show that focused on building bikes. Silly idea I suppose.

You're right, Bruce. The real info on these shows gets lost in all the improvised drama. Over-hyped deadlines, in-fighting, near misses. It's the same with the IRT type shows too.
I gotta say though, this new IRT Deadliest Roads show gives me sweaty palms. Those are some nasty roads.
I gotta run. It's date night.
