Changes at MSNBC

It looks like the increasingly left-pandering MSNBC will make a few changes to its election coverage. The Washington Post reports that the duo of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will be relegated back to their roles as commentators and not be at the news anchor desk for future political events, including election night coverage. Reportedly the change is the result of internal discussions and external criticism, especially of Olbermann's blatant liberal bias during the Republican National Convention.

This is certainly a start, but why stop there? Andrea Mitchell is just as guilty of taking the Democratic side of any interview or discussion while working as a news anchor on MSNBC. It's true the job of a journalist is to ask the tough questions. But if you're consistently throwing hardballs to one side (i.e. Republicans) and softballs to the other (i.e. Democrats), where's the objectivity? Andrea makes a good Democratic commentator, but a poor choice for a news anchor.
