You’re kidding that’s going to upset what; five viewers maybe.

Does anyone really watch that channel anymore?

Heck Keith could go to NPR and still talk the same garbage. I hear there’s an opening now. 😃

Well its 5 more then everybody else at the network. In the land of the blind the one eyed man…

oh, snap! 😛
 
It’s a suspension, not a firing. But he’ll probably walk and I don’t blame him. 😦
 
You are way off with the viewers; I did some quick research and found that he has an average of 268,000 viewers per show at worst case scenario (Olberman btw has challenged that figure claiming more then that). I’m sure you wanted to be as accurate as possible.

Here are the lastest ratings:

CNN+MSNBC+HLN = less than Fox

Since making the announcement, their viewership has increased 10,235% - but then dropped back off just as quickly. Too bad they don’t suspend the chairman and the editorial board for making the same contributions.

You know I could never understand this. On hand Catholics and Conservatives say numbers don’t matter (especially if they are the minority) but they mock their opposition if they have low numbers…

Always confusion.

That’s actually a very valid point in relation to this forum. The posters who will disagree with your comments will likely be those same posters who somewhow manage to inject politics into non-political threads.
 
I actually have to ask “What’s the big deal?”

It’s not like we didn’t already know what side of the fence he’s on. He’d already stated his outright intention to do anything possible to help Obama’s presidency.

So what if he’s contributing to democrats? He already does it on his show every day. I’d have been shocked if he wasn’t contributing to democrats.

I say let him keep his job so that MSNBC can continue its slide towards bankruptsy. Getting rid of Olbermann might interrupt the failure cascade, and that would be truly tragic.

You know what, I tend to agree with you. Everybody knew where Ole Obnoxious Keith stood.
And Fox anchors you KNOW regularly contribute to Republican causes. News Copr has donated money to various causes, many of them conservative. Last time I checked it was 1 million dollars.

I agree----without Olbermann the slide towards irrelevancy would be slowed. Keep Keith and continue watching the decline!!!👍

To where shall he walk? I conceptually agree with your tone, i.e., who cares who Keith Olbermann donates to? Not me. Is it some kind of surprise to MSNBC that he contributes to liberals? Who cares?

Where do Catholics and Conservatives say that? It sounds like a nice rhetorical question, but the source of your data would be just dandy, Want to post what it is?

The fact of the matter, if you’ll look at the facts, is that there aren’t a whole lot of people waiting for Keith to come on the TV every day. Now, you may consider that mocking, but the big boys, Hannity, O’Reily, Beck are pulling in 10 times Keith’s market share, 2.5-3.0 million viewers per day. Am I mocking Keith by saying this? No. Keith is not a draw, neither is MSNBC (no mock intended).

Maybe you can get Barry and the lame ducks to pass a law requiring people to watch Keith? How about that? I’m all for it. It fits with the rest of their dead socialist agenda.

Have a great night, and don’t cry in the beer, it dilutes it!

286,000 viewers per show—like I said five viewers maybe? Do know how small those numbers are for TV?

Thank you that makes my day man.
:rotfl:

Well I’m confused that people that lean to the left cannot understand humor that’s what that post was about it’s a joke that is in reality if you know Juan Williams you’ll get the joke.

I also understand your confusion because when I was a Pagan I was confused too—now I see the Light of Jesus Christ. :gopray2:

God Bless.
 
From the article:
“Anyone working for NBC News who takes part in civic or other outside activities may find that these activities jeopardize his or her standing as an impartial journalist because they may create the appearance of a conflict of interest,”

Um…who thought he was an “impartial journalist” before finding out about the donations? 😛
