No way Olbermann's firing means MSNBC is moving to the right, um, is it?

Newsbusters  "When you look at MSNBC's new prime time lineup, you certainly can't conclude this is the last move:"
•"Hardball" at 5PM
•Cenk Uygur as substitute host of an un-named show at 6PM
•"Hardball" at 7PM
•"The Last Word" at 8PM
•"Rachel Maddow Show" at 9PM
•"The Ed Show" at 10PM
....
"In time slot after time slot, MSNBC continues to get killed by Fox News in the ratings often getting as little as one quarter the viewers of its right-leaning rival. Since the moment the merger was announced months ago, people in the industry have speculated what a new ownership team would do about this."  Notice how often MSNBC gets promoted in NBC shows such as "Law and Order"?

Was Olbermann a “victim of his own success”?
