Keith Olbermann returning to MSNBC Tuesday

Whatever you think of Olbermann it's our right as citizens to donate our money in support of politicians which represent us the best. Just because he is a commentator on MSNBC doesn't mean he should have to forfeit that right. It's his own personal money, not affiliated with MSNBC or any other institution.

I'm sure the "haters" will decry this decision -- why don't they stick to FOX and leave us progressives alone?

Glad Keith is coming back. It was a bad decision to suspend him in the first place -- but now that is over with!

Welcome back, Keith!

Winki,

I'm a KO hater because of the garbage that spills out of his mouth but I think he never should have been fired in the first place.

I think the MSNBC reversal is good, nothing to 'decry' from this hater.

What a useless publicity stunt that was. Perhaps, now that he's about to return to MSNBC, he can be allowed to return to obscurity in more ways than one.

HE77 YEAH i'm glad he'll be back!!!!

I'm glad that he's back.

For those who think that Olbermann's rights have been violated or that he should not have been subject to the rules that got him suspended because he offers opinion or commentary, it's important to remember that Keith himself disagrees with you.

If you're a watcher, you know Keith has talked repeatedly on the air how no one is being denied their rights as a citizen when punished or even fired by their employer. Employers have the right to set rules for their employees, no less so for those who are going to be high profile or in the media. His employer requires approval of campaign donations due to its nature and the nature of the work of its employees, and he didn't get that approval. (Which is one thing I don't understand about this situation. Did he forget? If not, why deliberately break this rule when it was bound to come out?) Keith would be the first to argue that MSNBC has the right to make these rules and take appropriate action when they're broken. Anything else would be hypocritical on his part.

If you're a watcher, you also know that Keith considers himself a newsman and what MSNBC does news, and draws a very sharp distinction between MSNBC and conservative talk radio and Fox News. On his show he's been vocal about how wrong it is to equate MSNBC and his show with Fox (most recently at the Stewart/Colbert rally), and he's been equally vocal that what he does is not what, say, O'Reilly or Beck or Hannity at Fox does. Whether or not you think that's true, the important thing is that Keith does, and he has stated he hold himself, and that his viewers should hold him, to a higher standard. Again, if he changes the rules for himself, it would be hypocritical on his part.

Just sayin'.

Welcome back Keith. A rather lonely voice in a sea of conservative radio and tv talk show hosts.

As much as I like Olberman - he broke his employer's rules plain and simple and he got what he deserved. It shows that NBC has some standards as opposed to Fox where they - and their staff openly contribute to political campaigns.

nobody watches this guy's show. Who cares?
