I think you're right. This was an excuse.

He'll be back in a week probably.

The number one story on google news last night, and today, was Keith Olberman.

With that much attention, they'll keep him on. I don't really care, I don't watch the cable opinion shows. But he will get hired back.

I would like to know why MSNBC has a policy that denies employees the right to donate to political campaigns, and FOX doesn't prohibit it at all. From what I've read, the reason Scarborough was allowed to do it, was because he asked first, Olberman didn't.

From what I've seen, he's no less hateful than Shawn Hannity.

Is there something wrong with your word wrap feature?
Nope, nothing wrong with my word wrap feature at all, why do you ask?

Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown," the channel's most popular program,
was abruptly suspended by the network Friday for making contributions to political candidates.

Did you catch the words: "most popular program"?

There's one, if you want to see more, just re-read the thread. He and Fox News anchors have done it, period but this post implies that Fox News anchors haven't. The difference is that MSNBC has rules.
It is about control.
Sounds like some are less controlling, and actually still believe in having a choice.
