HUGH “TERMINATOR” HEWITT: Keith Olbermann can dish it out but he can’t take it. “The people who were briefed would not speak on the record because they feared retaliation by the network and because they were not authorized to speak about the matter. Some of the people said the decision suggests that criticism of MSNBC is not allowed on MSNBC, potentially a troubling development.” Well, it would be more troubling if people actually watched MSNBC.

UPDATE: Heh: “In any event, MSNBC has now fired the guy they hired to replace the guy they suspended (David Shuster) and all for the sake of a guy who isn’t even the highest-rated host of his own television program.”
