Bye, Phil

Phil Donahue has been fired from MSNBC. Rick Ellis says Donahue was canned for being "a tired, left-wing liberal out of touch with the current marketplace."

Ellis claims to possess a leaked internal memo from NBC which laments that ol' Phil would present a "difficult public face for NBC in a time of war" because he would provide "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity."

Hmm...

LMB ain't buying it. Tapped elaborates on the story.
