The media backlash over the attacks on Sarah Palin has claimed two of the most partisan political commentators in the business.
The far-left MSNBC has announced it will replace Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews as the co-anchors of its political coverage. (The pair will continue to be seen on MSNBC as "commentators" and will continue to host their own shows, but the pretense that they are impartial political analysts is over.)
Olberman and Matthews, virulently anti-Republican, apparently went off the deep end once too often during the past 10 days when the announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain's vice presidential running mate and the successful Republican National Convention turned the 2008 presidential election around.
The McCain-Paling team has pulled even with Obama on most polls (and leads in some), forcing the left-wing media to pull back on its open cheerleading for the Obama-Biden ticket. The worst network was MSNBC, which appears to be a subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee.
Despite Olberman and Matthews rooting for an Obama victory, the Republican National Convention was watched by more people than the Democratic National Convention and polls now have McCain-Palin taking the lead with less than two months to go before the election.
