Aww, rip man
After Keith Olbermann left, he was the only one left on msnbc with balls. Then he left.
It's never been the same.

Woah.
Remember listening to him on radio before he joined msnbc and he had good things to say about organized labor and unions. He had a weird trajectory. From a Republican went to a progressive Democrat and somehow ended on RussiaToday. RIP.

RT seems to like investing in progressive political shows for American audiences. Maybe because they tend to be speaking against the American establishment?

Probably a nicer way of saying complications from obesity. Not many people naturally live longer than mid 60s with that much weight.
How did he go to being a Putin mouthpiece? Seriously asking. I have not really heard much about him in a while.
Russia Today is Russian government propaganda attacking US government from the left and right. Working to create division and conflict in the US while spreading lies. You decide to work there, you know what you are doing. Mueller indictment of Russians had a section on RT I think.
As I age and see more and more people I know get sick and die, I've learned that after 60 all bets are off. Hell, even younger if you're not taking care of yourself.
Olbermann has never left a job on his own accord.
He has almost always been thrown out the door.

Oh, Jesus. I had no idea he went down that route.
I do remember when he got caught using edited clips on MSNBC to make Republicans look like they were saying something racist. Which is obviously wrong but also stupid, as it's not like he needed to use edited clips to do that.
Thanks, I didn't know he did that. Changed his ethics for a paycheck it looks like.
Ed talked a good game, but didn't seem to be anything more than an opportunist. He was never a true advocate for the left. I think he found it easier to get noticed on the left and took the path of least resistance.
During Obama's time, I watched a fair bit of MSNBC daily. I was always a fan of Ed.
Was very disappointed a year or two back when I found out that he went to RT and became a mouthpiece for Putin and Russia.
Everyone has a price, I suppose.

My guess is heart attack pending autopsy. Could also be some rare disease gone undiagnosed. For example, Alan rickman went to a doctor with nausea I think only to find he had late stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died 2 weeks later.
Er no that's not him. He just hid it. Weird.
