Olbermann The Angry? Donny Deutsch Pulled Off Air After Olbermann Segment

» 83 comments

Donny Deutsch‘s “America the Angry” week-long 3pmET MSNBC show is ending after just two episodes, after he mentioned Keith Olbermann in criticism of “angry” people on both sides.

Apparently Olbermann had a problem with his mention in the segment, which included Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and MSNBC’s Ed Schultz.

An MSNBC spokesperson told TVNewser “Deutsch was going to be off the rest of this week due to a personal issue,” but this seems to contradict what MSNBC spokesperson Jeremy Gaines told the New York Times. “The segment did not go unnoticed and we’re dealing with it internally,” he said.

Mediaite hears from a source close to the situation that the show was already booked today – and was set to feature Andrew Ross Sorkin and Pat Buchanan, among others, and the decision to cancel for the rest of the week came down this morning. Deutsch tweeted yesterday, “Tune in to MSNBC @ 3 for my week-long special, Angry in America…Great show today!”

It appears when you want to criticize Keith Olbermann you have to do so without using his name or image, as Morning Joe has down to a science.

More from the New York Times about the 3pmET exec producer:

The four people briefed on the decision also said that Mr. Deutsch’s executive producer for the hour, Gresham Striegel, was sent home. Reached on his cell phone Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Striegel declined to comment on any of the claims.

Striegel was formerly a producer at Glenn Beck’s FNC show, and moved over to MSNBC in January to produce for David Shuster. Oh yeah. David Shuster previously held the 3pmET slot. As MSNBC daytime turns…

>Update: Um. Apparently Olbermann is also going off the air, albeit temporarily. He explains in a tweet:

Programming note: I’ll be off tv the next two nights. Colonoscopy time! Yay! No issues, just a new annual fact of life after Dad.

From the NYT story:

Mr. Olbermann’s detractors have repeatedly claimed in the past that he has refused to host his show on occasions when he was unhappy with management.

Well, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski haven’t been punished yet (we don’t think).

> But wait, there’s more: In denying his involvement in the decision, Olbermann continues to bash Brian Stelter. And on a personal note: Team Stelter (which also doubles as Team Honesty):

This just in: complete fail by @BrianStelter of NY Times: http://nyti.ms/crdp0F I advised him of how wrong he was and he still posted.

I emailed @BrianStelter “Your account is entirely untrue. Your email is the first I am hearing of any of this. What I know of what…

Email to Stelter Pt 2: “.. is this: (MSNBC President) phoned me yesterday enraged at what was on that show + I didn’t disagree with him.

Sad to say, @BrianStelter was an innovative and hardworking blogger. He’s in over his head where he is now.

    Poor whittle olby had to go cry to the bossy…..I’m sure the bossy gave him a nice reach around…

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    How can a guy with no viewers run a network? Olby is clearly unstable as are most libs. He just lies all the time. He makes no attempt to get anything right. He is lot like RRK and Bill Adkins.

    “Deutsch was going to be off the rest of this week due to a personal issue,”

    How does someone have a week-long show… and plan to miss 3 days of it? Derrrrrr…

    Poor MSNBC… the problem isn’t just that they lie… it’s that they lie badly.

    Donnie, sorry to see that your show has been canceled but you played such a mellow KO video.”

  • The Real Royal King

    This was predictable. I like Deutsch, and I dislike Olbermann. Deutsch doesn’t have that great a media aura, but he is informative and an excellent critical thinker.

    In the end, I think Olbermann and Beck are, in fact, two peas in a pod, as Deutsch suggests. Both are highly unstable, neither believes in anything except himself and they use ideologies as a means to build ratings. American cable “news” would be far better off without either of them.

  • Olby Sucks

    If you are going to take such an I’m right and the rest of the world
    approach is wrong to everything, and especially broadcasting, you
    really do find yourself in a position of it being incumbent on you to take your own network to the same degree of task…. Bill just chose not to do it, which doesn’t say much about his manhood.

    Once MSNBC recognizes Olbermann is not their flag ship they might actually become a viable alternative to Fox News. A hard news show in prime-time would help too.

    I’m not really an Olbermann fan, but I don’t think you can really compare him to Beck fully. I see Beck frequently saying that people are coming to get you and that you need to protect yourself, real apocalyptic things, I don’t really see that so much from Olbermann. Then again, I don’t watch Olbermann lol

    Its no secret that you don’t F**k with Keith Olbermann. He is tight with NBC News Chief Steve Capus and he goes to ball games and ride Helicopters with NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker. What was Deutsch thinking? Do u not notice how no one at NBC has the balls to say anything directly about Olbermann!? Olbermann runs MSNBC!

  • valkyrie101

    Yes, I agree, King, KO and Beck are two peas of the same pod, from the standpoint of being confrontational. One left, one right. Having the two extremes that well defined is outstanding and a sign of a healthy democracy. KO does his thing, Beck his. Nothing wrong with KO being the left’s Beck, and nothing wrong with Beck being the right’s KO. Though, Beck clearly wins in a one on one face off. Beck commands a bigger audience.

    @ Olby sucks:
    Ouchy, ouchy, ache. Although, I never said “I don’t like Olbermann” I simply said “I’m not really an Olbermann fan” please understand the difference in the future. I don’t really watch Olbermann, I manage to catch clips of him online mostly. I have seen his show sometimes, and yes he can be over the top, I do not deny that, however, i do acknowledge that to compare him to Beck is a tad far reaching because I have yet to SEE him blatantly assume that the government is coming to get you so you better have your gun to defend yourself. I do not defend him, I simply say that there are degrees of crazy, and Glenn’s goes a lil further. As soon as Keith Olbermann alludes to Republicans bringing about the apocalypse as Beck does, then you can shove it in my face and I’ll down the bitter sweet potion. Until then, please read my words in context.

    Beck is the guy at the canival trying to get you to throw balls at a target that dumps him in the water. The good carny callers, like Beck, know just what to say to get the boys to pony up a few bucks, usually in defense of their own honor.

  • felixw

    I predicted yesterday that Donny Deutsch would run into trouble for this. Dang, I didn’t think it would happen so soon. But MSNBC has shown in other instances that it can be as fierce as Pravda in limiting dialogue and dissent. I guess this is why leftwingers watch it. They can stare into the screen for hours, and never hear anything except paeans to government intervention and smears on everybody who deviates from the far, far left.

    Bye Donny. See you in your next fiasco.

    This “critical thinker” spent 30 minutes on Larry King (just before the Masters) railing something about how Tiger’s controversy and comeback was a non-issue because “nobody cares…”

    For 30 solid excruciating minutes he obnoxiously repeated his mantra for the day “nobody cares!”

    Donny,
    People care. Tiger’s wife cares. Tiger’s KIDS care.
    His caddie’s family cares.

    The divorce lawyers all over America care.
    The people that make their living in golf care.

    Donny, hello! Donny..? Yeah…buddy…PEOPLE CARE..!

    That’s MY rant for today…

    Memo to MSNBC staffers:

    Yesterday a diverse opinion somehow made its way through our security personnel and 24/7 thought police. Even more alarming, it actually appeared on the air for a few seconds. We took quick steps to neutralize and eradicate this intruder, but the fact that this diverse opinion could actually get on camera is deeply disturbing.

    I know this is demoralizing to all of you who have worked so hard to quarantine and remove diverse opinions from all our facilities, but let me assure you that we will do everything possible to prevent a recurrence. In the meantime, all staff members are advised to be on the lookout for any additional diverse opinions that might have penetrated our defenses, and report them immediately to the MSNBC thought police.

    If you want to embrace FOX and say the obvious imabalance of it does not exist, well OK, but do not say that what the liberals fire back in response is any thing different than what FOX is, acceptable partisan expression. Not really news, but news with a spin, partisan spin. Same goes with MSNBC, the news with a left spin. It is what it is, no sense wasting time complaining, from one perspective or another that it is not fair. Both sides have a partisan voice. That is fair. Long live FOX.

    The Times’ Brian Stelter reports that “four people briefed on the decision said the cancellation stemmed from an unflattering mention” of Olbermann. Deutsch had included Olbermann in what Stelter described as “a series of clips of media bloviators during a segment that pondered what role the media plays in fomenting the public’s anger.” Deutsch also hosted Hugh Hewitt, who called MSNBC’s Ed Schultz a “hate-monger.”

    “I was disappointed because I think I’m on to something really special here that needs to be done,” Deutsch told Stelter. “It’s time the purple voice is out there,” he added, referring to bridging the red-state vs. blue-state partisan divide.

    “The segment did not go unnoticed and we’re dealing with it internally,” MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines said. The network had initially said that Deutsch was taking time off to deal with a personal issue.

    Stelter claims that it was “Olbermann’s anger” that directly influenced Deutsch’s series to be cancelled.

    felix,
    Fox is on the right. OK? Nothing wrong with that. Ailes and Murdoch make no bones about that. Just don’t say, as Stewart admonished, “fair and balanced” because that comes off as partisan given Foxes stated intention to be right, to place itself in politics to the right. Any one out there that does not believe that FOX is to the right? Seriously. Just be honest. FOX represents the right, it is the number network. MSNBC represents the liberals on the left, it has a quarter of the viewers that FOX does. Two partisans slugging it out, how cool, how democratic and free, but they are partisans, which is not the same as fair and balanced, a phrase that draws scorn on the left and a snicker on the right.

    Now you all know why Joe Scarborough and his Star Search Spokesmodel didn’t have the guts to call Keith out by name in that clip here on this site. Phil Griffin had already bitch slapped Scarborough for tweeting about Keith. He actually asked Keith if Scarborough should be further punished but, Olbermann said no. So, now that Griffin has pulled the plug on Deutsch, don’t expect any further snark from these 2 idiots. Oh, and don’t fuck with Keith!

    valk, why is it so hard to understand this simple statement, Fox is fair and balanced when presenting the NEWS. The network leans right on the opinion shows, yet those shows ALWAYS have the opposition on their shows. The networks are not “fair and balanced” anytime. They lie on the news shows and they fill their opinion shows with 3 leftys and maybe 1 conservative, MAYBE.
    The trouble with you clowns on the left is that when news is presented with other side you consider it tilting right. You always shocked that their is another side.

    Do I have to repeat to you sht heads Keith Olbermann actually holds a journalism degree, he doesn’t engage in fringe wingut conspiracies, and he has never claimed to be “fair and balanced”?

    This idiotic idea of “well Keith Olbermann is like Rush Limpo or the Sht Flinging Baboon” started from the wingnuts.

    No. You dumbshts. He isn’t. Not close by 6 years of Oxycontin abuse and as many years of coke and alcohol abuse.

    “Oh, but the left also has is Limpo and Baboon alike”

    This in itself is an admission that Limpo and the Baboon are f-ed up and on the fringe of wingnuttery. Which is no surprise. Wingnutz are so stupid they don’t even know when to stop running their mouths.

    No, gordon, as has been shown hundreds of times, FOX is not balanced on news or commentary. Go to mediamatters, watch the clips, FOX is partisan. Which, again, is fine. But don’t try to say you are fair and balanced. And everybody on both sides knows it, too.

    1. Olbermann does not have a journalism degree. He has a communications degree. There is a world of difference between the two. You were wrong to conflate the two. It’s sorta like the difference between being an M.D. and a chiropractor.

    2. Olbermann always likes to brags about being an Ivy Leaguer. However, he did not go to the private, Ivy League part of Cornell. He went to the state-run Agriculture school. The admissions standards are vastly different.

    Glenn, I’m sorry that you had trouble understanding my completely accurate post. Were you one of Olbermann’s classmates?

  • germ

    Finch,

    Pay no attention to Bovine. He has already been banned from Mediaite at least twice. He just adds another (.) in his name when he comes back.

    Bovine is also regurgitating what Olbermann stated on his program a couple months ago. Olbermann brought in his diploma and showed that it said “Cornell” and not “Cornell Agriculture School”. This is back when one of the right wing commentators made a comment about it after Olbermann made a snarky comment about Palin receiving her journalism degree from the University of Idaho.

    Just goes to show that Olbermann’s fans can’t think for themselves, but they just regurgitate the latest talking point.

    And please don’t play stupid pretending you don’t know a degree on communications cannot lead to a career in journalism or vice versa, because otherwise you’d be saying Billdo should not be engaging in his propaganda enterprise.

    Kiss my arse with the “The admissions standards are vastly different.” argument. It is the DIPLOMA that counts. Again, of all the fallacies you put forth, what you are saying is that Cornell – oh, the state run part – confers degrees out of pity, when you damn well know Keith had plenty of dough to attend the money side of Cornell. By your fallacy an A+ grade is different from an A+$

    Now, did you answer any point related as to how Keith Olbermann is supposed to be the “Glenn Beck” of the left?

    Germ:

    Agreed. And for the record, I’m not elitist. I think you can get a great education almost anywhere (including the public library). In my experience, people of real academic accomplishment don’t need to brag about their credentials. But when a a nit-wit like Olbermann tries to pass himself off as an intellectual, and even goes so far as to bring his diploma on to a television set in order to point to the words “Cornell University” (while simultaneously covering up the part that says “New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University” (which is the full name of the school Olbermann actually went to)), it is one of the most pathetic displays I’ve ever seen in my life. He needs to be called out on it every time the opportunity presents itself.

    Glenn Bovine Merrill:

    Sorry, but you’re wrong. You’re obviously unfamiliar with the Ivy League. The school that Olbermann went to is the New York College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. The issue with Olbermann wasn’t money; it was the admissions standards. Cornell is not a fully Ivy League school. It also, for example, has a School of Hotel Administration. (I’m not kidding. Look it up.) If I ever run into a hotel manager who shows me his diploma from Cornell and claims to be an Ivy Leaguer, I’ll make the same argument.

  • Glenn.Bovine.Merrill

    The public library doesn’t confer degrees.

    Heck, the Baboon was lucky he didn’t get thrown out for being on drugs while he was there.

    You still want to go down this road, Finch?

    DR. ALVEDA KING, NIECE OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: “So the media has a responsibility. And we can’t let them totally get away because they have to let the truth be seen and be told. So we have to have shows like yours [The Glenn Beck Program]. We have to have Internet streaming with truth out there. We have to have folks who are peacefully protesting, telling the truth. And the heart of America will begin to melt in the face of truth and charity.”

    I think Olbermann and Beck, in fact, two peas in a pod, and Deutsche suggests. Both are very stable, does not see anything except itself and the ideologies which they use as a means of building classification. American cable “news” to be far better off without either one.

    They shoulda kept Donny and sacked the rabid Olberman creep. They might have attracted a few more viewers than the normal 156 who watch their tripe now.

    You guys are always talking about how low Olbermann’s ratings are, but he leads in viewers under 35. O’Reilly gets more viewers, but his average viewer is 62. This means in terms of what advertisers want, Olbermann wins. Call it “the magic of the market”.

    And it’s truth:)
