Here's my simple email
Dear Mr. Griffin,

I have a simple message for you. Without Keith Olbermann, I will stop
watching MSNBC.

Thank you for your time.

1. Here's mine.
Mr. Griffin, I understand that you have suspended Keith Olbermann indefinitely without pay because he made contributions to three Democratic candidates. While it's true he may have violated some MSNBC policy by doing so, in my opinion he was merely responding to the dire circumstances the country finds itself in. To not contribute to one's candidates of choice in this very critical election would be unpatriotic in my mind.

I hope that this suspension will be temporary and that you will return Keith to the air very, very soon. Otherwise, despite my love for Big Ed, Rachel and Lawrence O'Donnell I may have to join many of my friends in a boycott of your network

2. Mine was not nearly so well-reasoned and succinct.
'I find the thinly-disguised attempt to eradicate any modicum of liberal thought from M$NBC to be patently offensive to your viewers. Does Mr. Griffin really think we buy his "reasoning" for silencing Keith Olberman? Suspended indefinetely without pay? Just another way of saying "We're going to muzzle you AND prevent you from looking for other employment until the right-wing_fascists@Comcast.net deal is done. THEN we're gonna' fire your ass!"

First Donahue, now KO. But that douche Scarbrough has free run of the joint. Deleting MSNBC from my cable roster and finding out all advertisers also. They'll be getting a copy of this email.'
