My email to Phil Griffin of MSNBC:
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 01:48 PM by Are_grits_groceries
You have the unmitigated gall to suspend Keith Olbermann over 3 political donations while at the same time keeping one of the most vile, bigoted commentators on the air - Pat Buchanan. He has said many things on your network that would have gotten most people fired. You let him have free reign to spout his 'educated' drivel. I can disagree with many people while both of us avoid the horrible insinuations and mudslinging. Buchanan is beyond the pale.

If Keith Olbermann violated his contract or whatever then you obviously have the right to punish him. However, I would bet everything I own that there are other people who you also employ that have made contributions through some underhanded machinations. They could be on any side. Olbermann knew his would be obvious. I hope somebody digs up those connections because you won't.

Fox News at least is open about the people they side with. You, on the other hand, want to have it both ways. Supposed impartiality cloaking your real intent. I'll bet you can't wait to move more to the right in order to avoid being harsh with the Republicans and Tea Party people who were elected.

Suspended is one thing. Indefinitely is not going to cut it.


MEH!!!

1. We also need to contact the sponsors
I'm at work, so I can't go around researching this. Can anyone come up with a list? These people couldn't care less about fairness or double standards. Let's hit them where they live, in their pocketbooks.

2. What is Griffin's e-mail?
I tried to call MSNBC and the receptionist passed me off to some phone tree that had no good options.

3. Do Not Record MSNBC Shows
right now, get your DVR's & Tivo's and stop recording so they don't get recognition. Watch, but stop recording.
