MRC President Brent Bozell Statement on MSNBC's Firing of Keith Olbermann

January 24, 2011 - 12:20pm
Earlier today, Media Research Center President and Founder Brent Bozell released the following statement on MSNBC's firing Keith Olbermann:

"It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Olbermann was a failure because he was vicious, insulting and off-the-charts liberal. And they replaced him with Lawrence O'Donnell, who is Olbermann but without talent. It is absolutely guaranteed that MSNBC will sink even lower. This network is clueless."

For a glimpse of Olbermann's on-air shenanigans, check out the "Dumb and Dumber [1]" award from the MRC's Best Notable Quotables of 2010 [2]. And, just posted to our NewsBusters' blog, "The Worst of the Worst: A Look Back at Keith Olbermann's Most Outrageous Quotes [3]."
