You want to send them the message...boycott Comcast. Stop using their cable or internet. If only 10% did that, they would have him back on TV very quickly. I don't use Comcast, but they do own the golfchannel, which I used to watch. No more. Just my symbolic gesture.
Boy if this is true...
Maybe they dumped him because he sucks? Just a thought.
I might start watching MSNBC....LOLOL bye bye Olberschuck!

Comcast thinks people actually have time to read a 15 page bill with universal tax fee...usage tax fee...etc...and whatever else they use to screw the consumer. It cant be said enough Comcast sux! Their customer service is another issue., lol...dont bother calling unless you want to speak to someone in Calcutta.

I wish I wasn't stuck with Comcast but they are the ONLY broadband option in my area, except 4G which if using WIFI internet in Britain is any experience, no thanks. Too frustrating losing your signal every 5 minutes. So, pretty much where I live it's either Comcast or dial-up or satellite DSL which is overpriced like satellite phones. I don't care that Comcast got Olbermann sacked or not, that Comcast donates to the RNC, they still suck.

Keep the ideas coming, what other ways can we cut off our nose to spite our face today?

Olbermann's mouth was the root cause of being fired from MSNBC.

Which is more motive to quit, after threatening to, if Comcast was able to gain a majority of the corporation that employed him.
Immediate after the Judge announced his findings, Mr. ego held his ground and quit.

Spin it how you wish.
Mr. Ego was very vocal about his feeling of the Comcast deal.
