1. Should have never been fired in the first place...

also, first!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Niiice!!

[Pachamama]

3. Really? Thats great news - MSNBC made a mistake in firing him

Guess it shows some can admit mistakes...

Would be nice if the Dem Senators could do the same regarding calling on Al Franken to resign

[Ligyron]

18. +1

[Zoonart]

4. Hooray for a moment of sanity.

Too bad the Democrats will not be able to undo the damage they are about to incur by making Franken walk the plank. Pandora's box will be opened and there will be more charges by women against more prominent Democrats.

Meanwhile Republicans say a loud FUCK YOU to all of us and elect more cretins and perverts..

[Perseus]

11. The biggest precedent about to take place is believing anonymous accusers

and I repeat myself...these unknown accusers could be Russian male trolls, why don't democrats give that at least one thought? These "women" should be forced to appear in public and submit their stories in front of witnesses, otherwise it is "she said/he said", and who is telling the truth? I would have to go with Franken at this time because without proof, at least in my book, he is inocent until proven otherwise.

Where is the "innocent until proven guilty"?

Do they know something we don't? If so, the public needs to know because as it stands, it doesn't look good at all for democrats to be so liberal with their actions, and investigation should take place, then it is up to Franken to want to go through with it, or not, but you don't put people in jail without proof.

13. N/T X1000

[dchill]

32. "Do they know something we don't?"

If so, why? There's no good reason for that.

[Bettie]

5. Good

that is a positive development, at least.

[hlthe2b]

6. It sounds like current MSNBC personaities went to back for him too. GOOD NEWS

[bullwinkle428]

7. YES!!!! This was a total "Shirley Sherrod"-type situation, where Sam

was fired in a complete knee-jerk move, before anyone with half a brain had the opportunity to actually review the facts and THINK THINGS TRHOUGH.

[whathehell]

8. Yes! So glad to see this!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Did someone blow a knockout dart in Lack's neck? nt

[ProudProgressiveNow]

10. K&R nt

[OnDoutside]

15. Good news. It's a pity Dem Senators don't have similar pangs of "Oh shit, what did we just do ?"

[Paladin]

16. Excellent. K&R.

[rocktivity]

17. Wonderful news

And here's hoping that Senator Franken makes it a double.

19. I'd just say to Ryan Grim there is no such thing though as Nazi-adjacent

There is only Nazi.

[demmiblue]

20. Excellent news. n/t

[Kimchijeon]

21. Wow that is a surprising turn of events! Should never have been fired anyway

I am pleasantly surprised, at least there's one bit of great news today!! Definitely worth celebrating!!

[smirkymonkey]

22. Well! Glad my first read of the day is finally some good news!

[Honeycombe8]

23. Good! This is getting out of hand. This railroading anyone who has made any off-color joke. nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. Wow, Im shocked and glad

[zentrum]

25. Hope this is true.

What they did by firing Seder was not just disgusting and unnecessary —it hurt #MeToo because it degraded and trivialized the entire meaning of sexual harassment.

This can't become a sexual purity witch-hunt. It's not against sex. It's against power inequality and predation within a patriarchal system.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

31. It is

Sam's confirmed it

[zentrum]

33. Whew!

[bdamomma]

26. yeah

yes, can't keep a good man down.

K&R

[still_one]

27. If it is true, I would like to think it was because viewers expressed their disgust with MSNBC for

what they did

[rainin]

28. Thank you!

Now, if Sen. Franken stands strong today, it will be a good day.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

29. Great now the anti-Franken faction has to split their ammunition. Nm

[kcr]

30. Good! Absolutely the right decision. That firing was bullshit.

There was no question that tweet was sarcasm and he was a victim of a hit job. Wow, I wasn't expecting that, but I'm happy to hear this news.

[calimary]

34. While theyre at it, Olbermann?

I would LOVE to see him get a prominent platform again. We need his voice, and his outrage.

[Nwgirl503]

35. Awwww...poor Cernovich was hoping to make this a new career

Guess he's gonna hafta keep looking for some way to be relevant besides having his own history of disgusting behavior and comments thrown in his face anytime he opens his gaping maw. Roid on Cernovich!!!

[SunSeeker]

36. Good. nt

[mentalslavery]

37. Fuck yaaaaaa

Nice work...progressive online community!

[Gothmog]

38. Yeah
