    Olbermann got a raw deal, but he's such a douche that I just don't care about the unfairness of it all.

    mc mark not going for a personal attack here but you really come across as quite immature accusing and threatening people by reporting them. Why don't you just agree to disagree

    This increasingly uninteresting row over MSNBC host Keith Olbermann’s campaign donations is almost over, with the lefty firebrand returning to his regular slot tomorrow evening. And according to this AOL gossip site, he even managed to extract an apology from management—for his failing to clear three campaign contributions with management. It’s all very confusing and boring, but there is one detail worth pointing out: Despite the station’s clear ideological bias, MSNBC has, like Fox, opted for the total pigheaded refusal to acknowledge its politics strategy. When MSNBC’s smiling, well-mannered blowhard Rachel Maddow bravely offered her Émile Zola-like defense of Keef, she said this: "Their network is run as a political operation. Ours isn't. Yeah, Keith's a liberal, and so am I. But we're not a political operation—Fox is. We're a news operation." During her Fox-does-it-too segment, Maddow ran a clip of Fox hosts “holding fundraisers right on the air," something her news operation would never allow.

    In response, one enterprising blogger compiled the following video.

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/txjXBx9-2c0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/txjXBx9-2c0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

    I have no problem agreeing to disagree. Never have, Just getting tired of the outright dishonesty of some people on the board. They know what they are saying isn't the truth and it's not possible to have any kind of dialogue when that's where you are starting at. Probably just need a break from the board for a while.

    seriously, thanks for the poke

    If you think someone is wrong or lying then just ignore them, like an adult would. Thats how lots of people handle your comments.

    Ok, who actually watches his show on MSNBC?

    I only watch his football stuff on NBC.

    The "Son of Sam" jab at the end is a bit much; and I think one actually has to be convicted of a crime for it to apply.

    Valid point, but irrelevant. The man is a criminal, he'll just never be tried as such.

    Olbermann missed more shows going to Yankees games than he served on this "suspension". This has the smell of a publicity stunt.

    You are more of a criminal than George W. Bush
