15. I find it rather odd

that when you read any thread on this story, it's filled with posts that either "love/LOVE" Keith or "HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE!!!!!" him. There's very little emotion in-between. I think I fall more in-between

I didn't hate him, and was disappointed that he was fired, and will miss being able to tune him in whenever I want. I'm not a news junkie and just get burned out on political news every single day. I can't tell you how many times my mind just tuned out whenever one of his political analyst guests were on. I just don't care like most people here. For much of the political news, the headline story is more than enough.

But I did like Keith's commentary, his silly stuff, and his delivery. I liked that acerbic wit. Reminds me of Gregory House The Thurber nights were good, when I was in the mood, or when I remembered to watch.

I'm still on Keith's side, especially seeing as how it was yet another corporate/network suit being a dumbass. Really, do these people take college classes in how to be assholes? Whenever another DUer mentions Keith wasn't a "team player" I have to wonder how many of them are also in upper management

So, I'll look to this forum when he's slated to come back, wherever it is. Someone suggested on the thread in LBN that it could be on RT - Russia Today. Their production values certainly seem better than Current's. I just don't know what their corporate suits are like
