Keith Olbermann: "This is the Last Edition of Countdown"

VIDEO

Matt Renner, Truthout: "Keith Olbermann announced tonight that his show 'Countdown,' a mainstay of progressive media, would end after Friday's broadcast. In a statement, MSNBC said the network and Olbermann 'have ended their contract'.... Olbermann, who has been a fixture at MSNBC since 2003, extended his contract in 2008 for an additional four years for an estimated $30 million. This announcement that Olbermann would be leaving MSNBC comes two days after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) gave final approval to a controversial merger between NBC Universal, MSNBC's parent company, and Comcast."
