MSNBC ends suspension of Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's 'Countdown' show, was suspended without pay 'indefinitely' last week for making political donations to several Democratic candidates, which was judged by NBC executives a violation of rules governing journalists' conduct. But after much outrage, commentary back and forth on the topic , online petitioning and expressions of support from colleagues, Olbermann's indefinite suspension turned out to be just a long weekend's break. On Sunday evening, it was announced he would be resuming his role Tuesday . Much has been said already about whether the original suspension was justified, but what do you make of MSNBC's rapid reinstatement ? Has MSNBC made the right call, reinforcing their ethical code by administering, in the end, a rap over the knuckles for Olbermann? Or was it an ill-judged move to begin with, now compounded by a hasty reversal of policy after the public outcry?
