15. Uh-Oh, that's when MSNBC fires people...

Phil Donahue had the network's highest-rated show when they gave him the boot.

Don't get me wrong, I like Olbermann's on-air persona better than Donahue's, but it does make me wonder why they fired Donahue, after forcing him to have TWO condervatives for every lieral guest on his show, but they allow Olbermann to give a pretty much unchallenged progressive POV every night?

Was Donahue just a victim of wartime cowardice on the part of the network, or does Keith have the right connections?
