(4,835 posts)1. I always watched Donahue over lunch...
In the barracks when I was in the army. I remember when his show on MSNBC was cancelled (I had never watched it), but its interesting to see more of the story come out about his show being cancelled.
Damn warmongering.

Big Eddy was very outspoken about his support for Organized LABOR,
something that may ruffle the feathers of Management.

That was during the MSNBC tenth anniversary special in July 2006. Both Goodman and Donahue are probably BANNED from MSNBC as a result!

After firing Donahue, MSNBC was basically dead until Keith Olbermann flipped the script.
