Fired Or Not, Comcast is to blame
I see one of two things happening, either MSNBC fired Olbermann because Comcast wanted it done, or Olbermann resigned because he didnt want to work in a new Comcast owned NBC.

Either way, Comcast is to blame.

That sounds like and involuntary termination to me

Here's CNN Quote:

Keith Olbermann is leaving MSNBC, the "Countdown" host announced on his show Friday night.

The liberal commentator told viewers he had been informed "this was going to be the last edition" of his show, but offered no further details.

NBC/Universal confirmed the news in a statement Friday night.
