i can't believe they'd try to throw him away like that.

didn't he knowingly violate the rules?

perhaps so

then he messed up...i;ve been reading and can't get definitive answer.

sometimes people can team together and dumb rules can be reconsidered

Is it a dumb rule? See Rachel Maddow's take she specifically addresses the Olbermann matter at around 4:17

the whole back ground though is good for context.

oh thanks!

well maybe keith can take over cenk uygar's old studio

thanks for the vid. i don't have cable. i get rachel and keith every few days for my ipod and listen in bed

she makes a good point. By doing this MSNBC own the moral highground when critical of Fox for their obvious bias

as to the Olbermann issue apparently the "rule" is reporters/commentators can donate to politicians as long as they advise management first

he fired or suspended for a bit? I'd be very surprised if he was let go over this.

would be more upset if Keith Olbermann was a real journalist.

does he claim to be? The Wiki entry - whoever wrote it - describes him as "a political commentator, news anchor, sportscaster and writer"

I'm not upset he was suspended, he deserves it apparently. I'm upset he did something so dumb, he's smarter than this.

good point josh. the number of signatories are mounting.
