I agree. I was unaware of that when I posted my opinion, more information changes perspectives.

Why?
It's hilarious. One set of wingnuts attacking MSNBC for suspending him, the other set attacking MSNBC for bringing him back.
Irrational hatred personified.

SHHHHHHHHH!
Say what you will, but the publicity stunt worked - Olbermann's rating will get a slight boost for a day or two, and a lot of people were talking about it over the weekend. That is exactly what a publicity stunt is supposed to do - attract attention.
So please lefties, stop pretending that MSNBC has some higher journalistic standards than FOX or anyone else - they don't - they are a business that thrives on RATINGS. They'll do anything to get them - they will even employ morons that get a thrill up their leg when Obama farts, or create silly publicity stunts like this......

Good grief. Are they paying you to push this stinker?

Because they caved. Journalistic integrity? Ain't got none. You violate the rules, you get a long weekend. That'll put the fear of Gaea into the other Dem shill talking heads, won't it?
But...but...but all us wingnuts are supposed to be in rigid lockstep!
Looks like another bullshit lefty meme gets shot out of the saddle.
I supported his leave of absence because he violated company policy. He knew about it, and was dumb enough to sign the contract, or arrogant enough to think it didn't apply to him. Note the stupidity and arrogance are not mutually exclusive, as he proves on a regular basis.
However, I think the policy shouldn't apply to commentators, as their job is opinion, not journalism.
Does that make sense to you, or are you going to stick with the "irrational hatred" bullshit?

Have you confirmed that the 'without pay' part of the suspension without pay has been rescinded?

The 'lockstep' involved here is all you wingnuts trying to find some way to bash MSNBC over this, in a classic damned if they do damned if they don't manner.
