Shuster: Protests at 30 Rock?
The TV Spy Watercooler hints at some form of protest to occur at 30 Rock if David Shuster isn’t reinstated soon. Caveat: It’s the TV Spy watercooler where anonymity rules and accountability and accuracy don’t. So it could all be the musings of a couple of agitators.
Honestly, I’ve never seen more sophomoric humor than at MSNBC lately — esp. Keith Olbermann, Contessa Brewer and Dan Abrams (someone who should know better). Why wasn’t Joe Scarborough suspended for threatening to hit sidekick Mika Bryzinski “with the back of my hand?” David Shuster is a first-rate reporter who succombed to pressure to “be one of the frat boys.” It backfired on him, but he is no Don Imus. It’s MSNBC’s loss if he goes elsewhere.

You’re right Lillian. David Shuster is no Don Imus …and he would be MSNBC’s loss …just as Don Imus was.

How is getting rid of Shuster a loss? He’s the most factually challenged reporter on national television.
Forget the Chelsea comment. How many stories down this clown have to get wrong? How many times will he have to apologize for inaccuracies? How can he even call himself a “journalist” given his blatant disdain of every Republican?
MSNBC loses nothing by canning Shuster, except they might look like the caved to Queen Hillary.

Where is Olbermanns outrage? Why doesnt this “journalist” slam Shuster like he does Orielly?
