At one time I think I would have been surprised. Now days, not so much. Cenk's problem was he took the red pill long ago and Corporatocracy only survives if everyone can be persuaded toward the blue one.
I doubt he'll be out of work for long. At least I hope that's right.

Damn, I kind of liked him. I never watched him on MSNBC, but I did enjoy The Young Turks videos.

MSNBC's parent corporation is General Electric, VOID.
One of the biggest tax dodging bunch of corporate scumbags out there. I don't care how "liberal" you think MSNBC is their boss works for some suit at GE.
And therein lies the problem with these corporate cocksuckers.

The Obama administration and much of the Democrat party is not progressive and hasn't been since the 80s. Obama ran a shrewdly designed faux progressive campaign with fiery rhetoric as "yes we can" and "change we can believe in". Once he got into office, it's been kabuki theater with the oligarchs playing both sides in a "good cop, bad cop" type of game. Republicans beat the crap out of us while Democrats pretend to be on our side, trying to persuade us that we just need to concede a bit more here and there to get us through whatever crisis they've manufactured lately.
Faux News and MSNBC are the corporate news analogs to these two parties. They market themselves to a more progressive audience but anyone who makes too many waves, like Olbermann and Cenk, are handed their hat and told not to let the door hit them.
