'Poor Norah ... She's Been Crying All Night and Day'

Stop your crying

Aww, poor Norah. Maybe she can get a job at CNN. And to think, she was crying all night and day and apparently Keith Olberdunce wasn't harassing her. I figured she started crying once she saw her puny ratings.

On Wednesday, Keith Olbermann announced on his show that Schultz would be getting his own liberal, "politically oriented show" in the 6 p.m. time slot -- bumping David Shuster's "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" to the 3-to-5 p.m. slot. The move forced "MSNBC Live," hosted by the net's chief Washington correspondent, Norah O'Donnell, out of the 3 p.m. position.

"It's ridiculous," an insider said. "They told us all about the changes at 8:50 p.m. -- 10 minutes before they told the rest of the world. And poor Norah. What's she going to do now? She's been crying all night and day. Just out of the blue, they take her show away. Nice, real nice."

Other employees are scared for their jobs.

"They also quietly hired Carlos Watson as an anchor but won't say for what show yet," our source said. "So everyone is wondering who else is going to be bumped."

Watson, who had been trying to get a show called "Interviews with Carlos Watson" on the air, now does an hour at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

"He's black, and they want to have a more multicultural appearance on air," the source said. "He's going to be a much bigger player there than he is now. But everyone else just wants to know: At whose expense?"

Who said liberals aren't racial bean-counters?
