In your dreams. His ratings were already higher than Matthews, Maddow, Scarborough's or the Ed Show. This suspension will probably give the ratings a boost.
Olberman is a loose cannon with an outsized ego and is clearly unstable.
"The move is doubly significant in that it represents a major development in the relationship between Griffin and Olbermann, who once told the New Yorker, "Phil thinks he's my boss.""
Well the guy who thinks he is Olberman's boss suspended him. I don't think it will sit well with that nutbag.
Too bad an anti-America idiot like that even has a job on the air at all. The fact they are allowing him back on at all will make me think even less of the More Socialistic Nutjob Bs Company.
Liberal groups had taken on Olbermann's suspension as a cause. An online petition calling for his reinstatement, run by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, had exceeded 250,000 signatures Sunday, and Michael Moore had tweeted his support. MSNBC: Keith Olbermann Suspension Ends Tuesday
250,000? Well, that's just about his whole audience right there. Seems to me his "indefinite" suspension was shorter than a Lindsay Lohan prison stint. I still think it was a publicity stunt. Everyone will tune in on his day back to see what he will say, giving his ratings a shot in the arm.
Say, isn't November sweeps month? That is, based on your November ratings you can charge more for advertising. I know it's sweeps month for the broadcast channels. I'm going for publicity stunt and MSNBC was in on it.
It’s funny how the liberals are the only group that holds their members accountable.

Um.. they started petitions asking for his reinstatement.. That doesnt sound like they are holding him accountable, it sounds like they want him let off the hook. .

Do you think you will be able to survive till Tuesday, without someone telling you how to feel, what to say, things to do?
i think that this was an honest situation and reaction that happened but........... QB fake also comes to mind, either on an individual or network level.
Comcast's influence over NBC: Was Olbermann's suspension a warning?
"What happens to MSNBC post-merger?.... "Right now, it’s providing the only response to Fox News. Comcast won’t want to irritate Fox - you can’t be a pay-TV distributor without Fox News, in the same way that you can’t be a pay-TV distributor without ESPN. Fox News is a truck running downhill."

Just fine and dandy when Democrats were talking about knocking Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin off the AM airwaves last year. Now we gotta have a benefit for the brain dead windbags at MSLSD?
I just hope Madcow gets her walking papers too. I certainly applaud Comcast for taking the initiative, and perhaps a first step, to turn MSDNC into an objective news organization. Dumping Olbermann is a good first step, though I would have also canned Mr. Mann.

Would you like it if, say, George Soros bought a majority stake in News Corpse, and turned it into "an objective news organization"?
Comcast is being labeled as right wing and racist.
They buy out MSNBC.
pwned!
