NBC to Fully Own MSNBC

Just saw it reported here in the NY Times. I wonder what this means for the future of shows like Olbermann who has been very critical of W. And people like Rachel Maddow on The Situation with bow-tie boy.

The buyout will take place over the next two years so by 2008, MSNBC will be a very different company. Will the people at GE [the owners of NBNC] simply clean house? They do, after all, have a very vested interest in the war and war in general.
