I Suspect the Suspention of KO is an Attempt to Prevent Right-Wing Call Outs
Consider this. With the recent firing of Juan Williams from NPR, news networks are being careful about employees violating corporate rules/policy. I think KO will be back soon enough and that the action from MSNBC is a preventative measure to keep nutters on the right from going all "concern troll" about why KO is allowed to violate company policy.

Dollars to Donuts says KO is back in a few weeks.

8. If it winds up being that long, Griffin will be really biting the hand
that feeds him viewership wise. Ratings will go down, down, down, but that's just my two cents.

9. That's Possible, but I think KO's Audience is One That Will Come Back
Any idea what advertising rates are during his show? If they're above the station average, it would be silly to make this permanent over such a minor violation.

3. I think Keith could tell Phil to shove it and go on to something else.
I doubt he'll be back...

5. Yep. I agree.
But that won't get a lot of mileage here.

7. I Know
Just figured I'd throw it out there. Plus, I can come back and gloat if I'm right! Hooray!
