5. It is because lots of people make nice hefty paychecks from
the traffic generated by their YouTube channels.

But I don't think Keith will have a hard time finding another job. Indeed, his voice will be freed and watch out MSM!

7. He saved my sanity in 2004. Our only ally.
I have no loyalty to MSNBC, only to Keith, Rachel and Lawrence. I'll go where they go, but especially Keith.

9. I love Keith. Just remember he isn't fired, just suspended. It remains to be seen what will happen..
Keith is too good to fire over this, IMHO.

12. I agree- I basically want to get the point across that I and probably a million other...
...folks are happy to tune into whatever channel or medium Keith is on. Whether it's MSNBC, YouTube, Vimeo or what.

MSNBC's pocketbook should be complaining to them right now because the advertisers follow the money and the money is from the viewers...

...and the viewers are with Keith!

10. Ah, here's what happened
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 02:21 PM by CommonSensePLZ
"During the 2010 political campaign, Olbermann donated $2,400 to Democratic Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, and Arizona Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.<65> In response, MSNBC President Phil Griffin suspended him indefinitely without pay for violating network policies regarding political contributions.<66>"

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Olbermann#Suspension

I'm surprised at him, he's lobbied so much about the fairness of campaign donations. Granted, he's a citizen, not an unnamed company from China, but still.
