I feel compelled to read more about this story as I am a big admirer of Keith and the committed truths he brought to the screen every evening, along with Schultz, Maddow and O'Donell. Yes, I understand contractural law from a few college courses I took, and know he violated the company/contractural rules. I also realize from reading several reports that a few individuals from that other nameless "news" organization that has a monopoly in the NY print/tv media have done the same. They may not have contractural obligations about political contributions written into theirs. Several of my friends who work in large financial corps. are not allowed to buy any investments/stocks without permission of their employers. I get that one...possible insider trading. I don't get what is so conflicting about Olbermanns' small contribution...but as I stated above..understand the power of the contract.
I see they haven't stripped his name from the program title as of 8:50 tonight, but it was briefly mentioned he was suspended indefinitely. It really wouldn't surprise me after all is said, that he did this purposely. He is not a stupid man. It is my belief that Keith will be back, not necessarily on MSNBC, but as a no holds barred free thinker, more powerful than under the constraints of a "job" as a reporter, which I must add he did a fine job, in my humble opinion. I am now watching and waiting for Rachael Maddow's commentary this hour. My girl might be next. Really, is there free speech anymore? - Was there ever? All I know, it's crazy season...and it's just beginning folks. Wait until January.
TBC
and
BE BLESSED!
