    It was. It was a negotiation between he and MSNBC. His staff wasn't given a heads up that he was planning his exit.

    Dan Rather and Mary Mapes got themselves fired, and fired for cause. Big difference. Neither knew they were leaving months in advance.

    It's call severance packages, and I'm pretty sure they're commonplace. Again, you can have fun trying to twist my words into completely different ideas (I'm well aware of your approach to these forums), but you're smart enough to see my point. Olbermann was essentially a separate business unit. Keith took care of himself and didn't give two shits about his staff. That tells me all I need to know about him.

    Good night and good luck.
