A Bright Sunny Day For Keith Olbermann
Keith was alleged to have exercised his Constitutional rights by making small campaign contributions to three Congressional candidates. And exercising his rights under U.S. labor laws as well. MSNBC President Phil Griffin said that a two-day vacation and massive support and love demonstrated for Mr. Obermann, who has risen to the top of MSNBC ratings as an anchor and was beating Anderson Cooper of the AC 360 circus on CNN in his rebroadcasts just one hour after their original airings at 10pm[until Lawrence O'Donnell recently took over that time slot] and was threatening Fox dominance, was "punishment" enough. Olbermann went from astute sports anchor to leading and often controversial news anchor and commentator. He took the industry by storm, to say the least, and this event can only catapult his career even further. No harm there!
The bottom line is NBC profits, and Olbermann's mass appeal, and the appeal of his issues. Health care for every American. Peace in the Middle East and South Asia. Infrastructure spending. Jobs, jobs, jobs. Funding for the poor. Continuing Social Security and Unemployment Compensation. Expanding Education opportunity for kids, not abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, such as has been proposed by Rand and Ron Paul. Civil Rights. Disability rights. Justice. Waterboarding is torture.
The bottom line is that the NBC execs showed their true colors and wound up *blushing* big time. Thanks for another belly laugh at another board room, Keith. :D LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOL
