Dear Mr. Griffin,

Although I pretty much know that you will never read this, writing it made me feel better.

OK. I get it. Keith Olbermann messed up. He violated an MSNBC policy that attempts to maintain the appearance of impartiality.

Point taken. But do you or anyone else at MSNBC really believe that Countdown with Keith Olbermann is anything but fact-based opinion journalism? C'mon... even the most casual observer can see that Keith has a Liberal agenda.

Wow, there's a shocker.

Keith howls nightly at the right AND at the left (and occasionally at the moon), but he works from facts not from fantasy and he is always fair.

MSNBC needs to play fair as well, let his suspension be a lesson to him, and reinstate Keith Olbermann now.

Why?

Because MSNBC...

1. Cannot afford to lose him (because Rachel, Lawrence, et al., can't do it alone),
2. Can ill afford to lose viewers like me (and others like me),
3. Needs all the help it can get to balance out the right-wingnuts at Fox (and please be honest, this is what you do AND this is what they are), and
4. Must continue to offer perspective and proportion to the hyperbolic-far-right-leaning propaganda media-machine (because this is what it is) that lives across the road.

Thank you.

With kindest regards...

Mike
