TRMS: Keith Olbermann Suspended 11-5-10

Rachel tells us why Keith was suspended and how a real News Organization follows rules unlike Fox's Republican Network. With a Note from Rachel, Keith should be back on air right away. Keith should have never been suspended for doing something Joe Scarborough did in 2006. And, Kudlow on CNBC does every election time by giving money Like Scarborough to the Republican Party. While Fox gives Millions from all of their host's, and has their host's actively running for office.

State your point in a civil manner. With that said, Rachel highlights the difference in expected behavior when working for a news network vs a propaganda network. The difference carries meaning.

[stlsmith87]

this is because these hosts on Fox News are known conservatives. Like the old show Hannity and Colmes, conservative vs. liberal. Obviously they are conservatives and support conservative candidates. Keith Olbermann claims to be moderate even though it's obvious he's a raging liberal. MSNBC is attempting to prove they don't have a liberal bias, even though they obviously are.

@stlsmith87 and fox is any better? let's just agree that all mainstream media is outrageous.

Is this how Republicans are successful, by not having scruples and changing the standards?

Hopefully when Comcast takes over all of this crap with MSNBC will stop. Talk about Fox News all you want, but they must be doing something right because they have ratings of 46%. Granted Fox News has a clear political leaning, just like MSNBC does. The only difference is I believe that Fox News doesn't suspend or fire these anchors because of this reason: They bring in money and ratings. Keith Olbermann was losing viewership continuously, regardless of what you all believe. It's all business.

And NBC's viewership continues to decline, because all they do is attack, attack, and attack. You say NBC isn't politically motivated at all? You have got to be kidding me... That has to be the biggest joke I've ever heard. Did you see their election night coverage? Complete mockery of what balanced is. At least CNN and Fox all had more than 2 democrats on their shows. MSNBC had all of their liberal show hosts on there, practically making fun of republicans while the elections took place.

[maniacgamer9]

And the only difference is, the conservatives at Fox News are winning. So what if they aren't bound by the same rules. Just because their contracts aren't the same as yours doesn't mean they aren't a "news station..." Perhaps Rachel Maddow should go watch the Fox Report, Special Report, and Studio B. The only reason Maddow and Olbermann constantly go after Fox News is because the shows that run in their timeslot at Fox News just slaughter NBC night after night after night.

[maniacgamer9]

Want to know the real reason Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann hate Fox News and everybody on it? They SLAUGHTER them in the ratings. MSNBC has ratings of what? 12% last month or so i believe? While Fox Ndws has 46%. And this is actually disgusting, she says that MSNBC is not politically operated. They stick up for Liberal and Democratic candidates b practically sucking their dick. They treat Obama and other liberals like they are some sort of god. It's classic liberals vs. conservatives.

For the whole 7 minutes of this video all I could hear Rachel say was "Waaaaaa...Fox can and we can't..waaaaaaaaaa!"

[MrFreedomdemocracy]

Keith Olbermann suspended while FOX NEWS is still there?????? WHAT A SHAME!!!! CHECK THIS VIDEO,

WE NEED ELECTION PUBLIC FUNDING WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR ANY CANDIDATE AND THE SAME AIRTIME LIKE IN EUROPE. REMEMBER ONLY 40% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND LESS THAN 60% IN THE GENERAL ELECTIONS ....THE LOWEST IN THE WORLD!!!!

Rachel wake up! both networks are propoganda machines. the only difference is, FOX is more aggressive. before you say that MSNBC is not the equivalent of FOX, go back and watch the way you gushed, oohed and awed when you interviewed Obama in 08. for a second there, i forgot you were a lesbian and half expected you to make out with Obama.
