According to WaPo:
MSNBC is removing Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as the anchors of live political events, bowing to growing criticism that they are too opinionated to be seen as neutral in the heat of the presidential campaign.
So much for free speech.
At MSNBC (and every other mainstream media outlet for that matter), you're "free to speak" only if you say what they want you to say or conversely don't say what they don't want you to say.
Otherwise, they politely but firmly show you the door...
The move, confirmed by spokesmen for both networks, follows increasingly loud complaints about Olbermann's anchor role at the Democratic and Republican conventions. Olbermann, who regularly assails President Bush and GOP nominee John McCain on his "Countdown" program, was effusive in praising the acceptance speech of Democratic nominee Barack Obama. He drew flak Thursday when the Republicans played a video that included a tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, saying that if the networks had done that, "we would be rightly eviscerated at all quarters, perhaps by the Republican Party itself, for exploiting the memories of the dead, and perhaps even for trying to evoke that pain again. If you reacted to that videotape the way I did, I apologize."
Matthews, who has criticized politicians in both parties, drew less criticism for his convention role but became a divisive figure during the primaries when he described how he was inspired by Obama's speeches and made disparaging remarks about Hillary Clinton, for which he later apologized.
There's no room for speaking your mind on a media network run by corporate greed and zionist power.
The two ideologies - Corporatism and Zionism are based on the love of money and power and are both diametrically opposed to anything that stands in the way of their greedy plans for world domination.
Olbermann and Mathews now know first hand how easily these selfish bastards can throw even their brightest and most popular servants into the fiery pit of their endless greed.

Olbermann made the mistake of displaying emotion over 911. That makes him a potential loose cannon and someone who must be quashed.
This has nothing to do with the so called election or the "candidates" who are all right out of central casting, picked to move Americans willingly toward a totalitarian regime that can be used and destroyed to further the big plan.
These elections are nothing but bread and circuses to create the illusion of control.
You have no choice or control.
You have owners.
Obvious no third party candidate has been formally invited in subsequent elections after Ross Perot received "enough votes" to put Bill Clinton in the White House.
This bullshit gatekeeper organization should be sued into the ground. I hope Ron Paul's announcement at National Press Club in Washington D.C. Wednesday morning Sept 10th with LP's Bob Barr and Constitution Party's Chuck Baldwin at his side will pull the rug on the powermongering elitist a-holes.
911 is an untouchable topic for MSM.
that shameless propaganda filled video and the shit-spewing Brokaw who followed it are clear and convincing evidence that MSNBC is not in the business of neutral reporting.
Thanks for sharing this because I would have otherwise never had a chance to see what their up to - I don't watch tv anymore.

Every four years, the carnival barkers connive the American electorate into buying some more lottery tickets, in the hopes they'll win big.
And like that lottery ticket holder after the winning numbers are announced and he realizes he's bought nothing but empty air, the day after the prez election, we all wake up with another four year long hang over.
Which we'll recover from in time to get amped up about the next lottery and boy oh boy, we're really going to win big this time.
With that said, I'll vote but this could be my last time.
If McCain and Palin win, I'm giving up on politics.
Sad to see people mourning Olberman's removal. He is the lying the tool who dismissed the Walt-Mearsheimer report as too flawed to be worth mentioning. A disgusting zionist gatekeeper and nothing else.
