MSNBC dropped Chris Matthews (upper picture) and Keith Olbermann (lower picture) from anchoring future live political events on the network.
The action was the result of growing criticism that Olbermann and Matthews are too opinionated to be seen as neutral in the heat of a presidential campaign.
Chris Matthews described how he was inspired by Obama's speeches and made disparaging remarks about Hillary Clinton.
After a speech by Obama, Matthews said he experienced a thrill going up his leg. Wait a minute, did I get that right? Yup, checked it again. He really did say Obama gave him a thrill up his leg!
By removing Olbermann and Matthews, MSNBC is trying to improve their image in an effort to gain ground on the other cable news networks. MSNBC ranks a solid third behind FOX and CNN in the cable news viewership race.
