Here’s some articles I read this morning that I wanted to share:
Olbermann Leaves ‘Countdown’ on MSNBC – The ongoing story of last night’s media headline. I’m sure this story is far from over.

[EDIT/UPDATE]: As more information has come out about this, it seems that it is as “amicable” as a split of this nature could be. No “evil Comcast” silencing of Olbermann. No “corporations hate liberals” attempts to stifle the other side. As my better half tweeted last night:
Apparently there is a spot labeled “Comcast” on people’s Jump to Conclusions mat.

“We used to talk about how cellphones killed the sitcom because no one ever goes to anyone’s house anymore,” said Abraham Higginbotham, a writer on the show. “You don’t have to walk into Rachel and Ross’s house, because you can call and say, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ We embrace technology so it’s part of the story.”
What are you reading around the web today?
