Ultimately GE has to be held accountable for Olbermann. They cannot brush off letting the MSNBC sub run around unhinged. They pay Olbermann $4 million a year to piss off half the country, and were well aware of what a divisive force he was at ESPN.
Instead of yanking him off convention coverage, they are “freeing him up”? To do just what?

The only thing that will get any attention is boycotting GE (MSNBC’s corporate parent)

You can also boycott parts of GE, the home appliance division contributes about 8% of GE’s bottom line.

Immelt has been a disaster for GE, maybe writing some of the Board will do some good.

I laugh at Olberman, but my personal theory has always been that he's pissing off way more than half of us. He gives nutjob theories that sober Democrats laugh at, like "Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11" or "Bush invaded Iraq for personal gain" just enough plausibility that people start going on the internet and looking for whatever answer they want to find. Anyway, most of the people watching these two idiots were doing so because they liked being pissed off.
