Phil Griffin has fired so many of our voices. Phil Donahue. David Shuster. Keith Olbermann.

Who is next?

Why does Griffin not respect the wishes of his TARGET demographic: Liberals/Progressives?

Because I guarantee you that that is what Griffin is getting from the pro-Palin crowd.

If he gets a thousand reasonable emails from DU and other good Democrats and twenty semi literate emails from mouth breathers threatening him and his family, which ones do you think he will pay attention to.

Those who support Bashir will never lower themselves to the level of the wing nuts, and fear is a powerful motivator.

All you can hope for is that Griffin somehow grows a spine very quickly. I'm not holding my breath.

.....then it's as if no one cared that Bashir is gone.

Personally I wish Bashir would have refused to resign and forced them to fire him, but then I suppose he was getting his share of threatening messages as well.

Unfortunately we won't get very far trying to appeal to the better angels of network suits like Phil Griffin.

SO i suppose we'll just keep trying. All I can threaten Griffin with is to quit watching his crappy network and I already did quit so it's really an empty threat.

I'll give it another try, maybe this time will be different.

Those making death threats should be arrested and tried.

Olbermann's attorneys were in negotiations with MSNBC for months before he left for him to get out of his contract. He had already been offered the spot at Current. He thought when Comcast entered into the ownership mix with NBC, he would be muzzled. That is why he wanted to leave. So many times as things have unraveled at MSNBC, I think about his thinking that and how right he was to want out. This is exactly the type of maneuver COMCAST pulls, and bottom line, they probably are thinking about how much they will save by substituting someone else at about one-third or less of what they were paying Bashir.

I really have enjoyed his show. That remark he made was a little over the top, but he is human and should have been allowed to take some time off and perhaps pay a fine. The quality of his delivery as a commentator is unmatched at MSNBC, and this is going to cost them in terms of viewership.

I used to have MSNBC playing non-stop at my house and have narrowed it down to only an hour or so. I think I am just going to boycott them altogether.

I love Al Jazeera news but have been pissed since they barred viewing Al jazeera English since Al Jazeera America hit the scene. I was tempted to subscribe since Soledad was there but didn't want to give Comcast anymore of my money. If Bashir is there I will reconsider.

I don't like Bashir. He's no good and deserve whatever reprimand that comes his way.

I had my sticky wicket moments with him in the past.

I'm curious why you would dislike him so much.

And there aren't that many.

Him and O'Donnell and maybe a couple others.

is not that much different than FOX's. It's called money.

him if he had stayed. I don't watch television during the day, either because of work or outside interests, so unfortunately I would never have seen him on television.
