Suspension without pay means that there’s a 99% probability of being fired. He does have a contract, so they can’t immediately fire him as he does have some recourse per his contract.

It’s not like it was a one-week suspension, rather indefinitely.

It would have meant something if they had suspended him for calling women ‘mashed up bags of meat’...

I guess they were afraid someone would get the idea Olberman was biased.
