Can somebody explain the difference to me between indefinite suspension without pay and getting fired?

[Hotlanta Mike]

The worst person of the year...

Only likeminded haters watch that sick and sorry cable channel.

Shocking that it pays those anti-Americans that much money to spew lies and hatred.

[mainevet]

He was suspended for blocking me on Twitter last month.

[My Favorite Headache]

An agent.

Looks like an opening for Grayson.

That said, Olbermann is no David Shuster and his absence on the network, despite any inner strife at MSNBC is huge.

I haven't seen Shuster in a couple years. Wonder what happened to him. Olbermann is like their O'Reilly, but given the poor ratings, they should just move Red Ed to 8PM and have Lawrence O'Donnell's show at 6PM and then re-run it at 10 (Hardball is on at 5, but also gets re-run at 7). Problem solved.

“Rachel Maddow is getting better ratings than Olbermann in the key A25-54 demographic, and Lawrence O’Donnell isn’t far behind.

And that powerhouse team gets a whopping 1% of the American viewing public every night.

Olbermann is no longer the center of the strategy either – as the network has unveiled a vibrant, massive new campaign “Lean Forward” which focuses on half a dozen members of the MSNBC talent pool.”

Oh yeah, that campaign sure is reeling in the viewers. I hear people talking about it all the time. Constantly. In fact, it's getting annoying with people talking about nothing else anymore but that "Lean Forward" campaign...(?)

Now, THERE'S a philosophy question that will rock your mind:

If someone apologies on MSNBC, does anybody see it?

[GeronL]

The whole channel is a 24-7 Democrat campaign ad.

Donating a few grand to candidates isn’t really a big deal in comparison

[mainevet]

I only called him the usually objectionable Yiddish word for the male reproductive organ.

[library user]

"LEAN FORWARD" is the preface to the coming "BEND OVER" campaign.

[Ted Grant]

Can somebody explain the difference to me between indefinite suspension without pay and getting fired?

It probably has something to do with using his status to tie him up for a while so that he can't get another job and capitalize on his sudden notoriety and buzz.

[screaminsunshine]

They can have some Lib Drama and demand his return. Just trying to atract attention to his failed miserable show.

[Libloather]

He makes $7 million a year

That's one RICH capitalist RAT.

[mainevet]

I vaguely remember something about a boiled carrot.

[stayathomemom]

Olbermann told his bosses he didn’t know he was barred from making campaign contributions....

I guess he didn't read the bill contract.

I read some time ago that stock holders of MSNBC parent company, GE I think? Complained about the leftist leaning network.

Why are they not complaining also about the wages these people are receiving? Keith Oggerman is not worth that kind of money< nobody employed at NBC is worth that money.

I suppose the union is involved, OK maybe pay him 125 grand, I say he is not worth 40 grand.
