GE Redux-----Olbermann Should Tell MSNBC/NBC "I'm Done Here, Sir"
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 06:32 PM by YankeeLeft7x
Keith Olbermann Should Tell MSNBC/NBC "I'm Done Here, Sir."

There is no way that this damage can be undone or that Olbermann can ever work freely there again without having to look over his shoulder.

Keith is very intelligent and has many talents and he does not need MSNBC any longer.

I hope Olbermann tells Griffin and the other jerks at GE to stick it up their collective asses!!!!

Remember what NBC did to:

1. Howard Stern
2. David Letterman
3. Conan O'Brien

Howard Stern has always said how bad he was treated by the brass at NBC and we all know how it turned out for Conan and Dave at GE as well.

Some irony that Olbermann was at Stern's first Satellite Radio show on Sirius Radio as well.

Want some ethical issues to consider?
And we all know that in the news media there are all kinds of incestuous relationships and nepotism galore which wreaks of "ethics" issues all the time.

When pundits are so friendly with those in political power such as the coziness between Tim Russert and Mary Matalin-James Carville.

That Camopbell Brown is married to Dan Senor and that CNN claims to be a neutral network?

That Dana Bash and John King are married and work at CNN.

Andrea Mitchell marriage to Alan Greenspan

Mika Brzezinski's father is Zbigniew Brzezinski--former National Security Advisor to President Carter

Brian Williams worked in the Carter Administration
Chris Matthews worked for Tip O'Neill
The late Tim Russert worked for the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Laurence O'Donnell from 1989 to 1995, was a key legislative aide to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. From 1989 to 1991, he served as senior advisor to Moynihan. From 1992 to 1993, he was staff director of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, then chaired by Senator Moynihan. And then from 1993 to 1995, he was staff director of the United States Senate Committee on Finance, once again under Senator Moynihan’s chairmanship. He thus led the staff of the Senate's tax-writing committee during the consideration of President Bill Clinton's first budget, which Congress enacted in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.

One last note here:

Ronald Reagan was and always will be GE's Man and the Guy loved by these corporate whores!

2. Oh man.
Your just saying, 'Sir' makes me want to cry. Goddammit I miss Keith already. MSNBC is going to go down the toilet without him. Yes, they have Rachel - but what do you want to bet she's going to say something about this tonight? She's a purveyor of justice. I wonder what she thinks of all this. I'm sure we'll soon find out. I want my KO BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!

12. Sports and other avenues
Keith Olbermann can always go back to sports, writing and other avenues.....

Nobody should be held hostage by the scumbags at GE as I have listed other very talented people who have been screwed by GE.....

GE is not a great place to work not to mention their awful pollution record against the environment right in their own backyard.

4. He probably has a non-compete clause -- that's the only way he could work
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 06:21 PM by LSparkle
for anyone else. We need his voice in the coming
days so as hard as it will be for him to walk away
from all that money, I hope that's the path he
takes, so he can get back on air SOMEWHERE.

9. There is a reason for that.
They want a person to think that if they support certain concepts, the support of the concepts create the wrong. Not unjust reprisals. It is Sophie's choice story.

What evil does is try to get a person to think it was their actions that caused the hardship, not some free will choice of someone else trying to paint those actions as bad.

In Sophie's choice, the bad thing told her she had to pick a child to die, that was so that she would feel it was her that did the harm, not those that murder. In the same way they try to say it was his actions that caused the firing, not their actions against him.

In the same way common torture is having someone hold up their arms, then when they lower them, they get hit, and told it is because they didn't do what they were told, or put in a squat position with a bar behind the knees, so that if they don't stay in that position, they pop their own knees out. It is a common method to try to make someone think it is them that did the harm to themselves. That is so that the blame can be cast on good actions when they are not from those actions but from people against those actions.

It is something posted on before, they want people to think what they feel or think causes there hardship, not people against better thoughts or feelings trying to make it look that way.

10. What I hope
KO comes back and Griffin gets fired. And if KO doesn't come back I hope he sues their ass.

"Phil Griffin, CEO of MSNBC. Today's WORST PERSON IN THE WOOOOORRRRRRLLLLLDDDD!!"
