| Indefinite = Tuesday Return: Olbermann Set to Come Back After 2-Day Suspension |
| 2010-11-08 |
| NEW YORK (AP) -- MSNBC says Keith Olbermann will be back on the air Tuesday, ending his suspension for violating NBC's rules against making political donations. MSNBC's chief executive Phil Griffin said late Sunday that after several days of deliberation, he had determined that two days off the air was "an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy." Like Breitbart said...I'll watch it just as much as I did before. Just keep him away from Sunday Night Football ... The left-leaning cable network's most popular personality acknowledged donating $2,400 apiece to the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. NBC News prohibits its employees from making political donations unless an exception is granted in advance by the network news president. In this case, Olbermann's bosses didn't know about them until being informed by a reporter. What these mouthpieces of the left do not realize is that through their lies and blatant partisanism they are directly contributing to the demise of the US. It's the unbiased, freedom of the press who hold all politicians and centers of power accountable that makes our society work. When one cannot trust the press where the press becomes blatantly partisan for any side, our republican form of government becomes endangered. |

| #5 I'm glad he's back. He makes a good poster child for the left with child being the key word. His nightly temper tantrums, along with the junior high school antics of Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, and the other adolescents of the left serve to remind the rest of us how glad we are to have adults back in power. |

| #4 I still know that Olbermann is a partisan hack. Calling him a partisan hack probably flatters what he does. |

| #3 I'd agree with you were it not for the fact that he accepted employment under terms that specifically forbade political donations. Both he and the network advertised that fact, which means he misled the public by broaching the policy. |

| #2 I do not agree with KW's beliefs or his endless panderings to the liberal mouthbreathers amonst us, i do however think that the network has NO FREAKING BUSINESS in dictating to its employees what to do in an off duty endeavor. this applies to all private businesses. i guess that means i actually support kw ( yech!) keep you hands and mind control at home. |

| #1 I have to be honest: though I loathe Olbermann, suspending him for "making political donations" was simply bizarre. You'd have to live in a barren wilderness not to know where his political sympathies lie. He doesn't even pretend to be impartial. Oh, wait: I DO live in a barren wilderness, and I still know that Olbermann is a partisan hack. So scratch that stipulation off too. |
