BREAKING: Keith Olbermann Will Return To MSNBC Tuesday
MEDIAite ^ | Nov. 7, 2010 | Steve Krakauer

Posted on 11/07/2010 6:33:06 PM PST by Beaten Valve

You know all that talk about whether Keith Olbermann would ever be back on MSNBC?

Well whoever speculated about that (me) was totally off – Olbermann will return to Countdown Tuesday night. From Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC:

After several days of deliberation and discussion, I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night’s program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy. We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night.

So basically he was suspended for two shows, and four days (counting the weekend). That seems like an amazingly short amount of time for what was called an ‘indefinite’ suspension. As you can imagine, we’ll have more on this tomorrow…

Wait a minute, doesn’t this make Msnbc Racist? First the Spanish guy, then the black guy are fired, but the White guy only gets suspended for a weekend?

***They had to put him back because they couldn’t find a replacement who hadn’t donated to the democrat party.***

BINGO!

It was a pre-planned feint. Somebody had already uncovered the donations and MSNBC immediately wrote the sitcom to handle it.

I think there's one reason why Olbermann is back: his show is the highest-rated show on MSNBC, and they can't afford to lose him. Olbermann's show has over 1 million viewers, which is kind of amazing considering that Bill O'Reilly's show on Fox News Channel has over twice that in ratings regularly.

Ditto.

I get my news and commentary from Free Republic, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

THE BIG THREE.

I have no time for Communist propaganda on the Leftstream Media.

What would they do without Olberman’s parents watching anyway?

Yeah, without his moms watching it just wouldn't be the same.

“I get my news and commentary from Free Republic, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.”

Well, I am no longer in the USSA, so I get everything online.
I start my morning with Savage, and mid day, I pull up my Rush 24/7. For Savage and any other radio, I use www.radiotime.com, a fantastic service that will tie you to radios stations all over the world.
Their menu breaks down the listings as to format.
You can select “conservative”, religious, progressive (i.e Marxist) or many other formats.

While Savage is a bit full of himself, he was the first of the pundits to call Obambie a Marxist.
He makes some good points, as long as you can put up with his shtick, and snorting to clear his nose.

I left the USA in Jan. 2005, but when I was there, I never saw PMSNBC or CNN (except in airports). I watched only FOX for news.
I did see O’Rielo one time here in the Philippines, while I was in a hotel.
It was the time when he,in his highest form of pomposity,
declared that he had the true birth certificate for Obozo.
He held up a 8x12 envelope and gingerly pulled out the famous and elusive BC...Well, of course, it was the same bogus piece of pap that had been all over the internet for many months.

I don’t know why they suspended him to begin with, other than for show. The left is all about pretexts and fictions that are mostly laughable.
