Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher React To Olbermann Leaving MSNBC (VIDEO)

"You don't know the exact circumstan­ces of his depature from MSNBC. Nor do you know what his contract says about non-compet­es. Nor do you know the contents of any settlement­/severance agreement between MSNBC and KO"

==========­==========­==========­==========­=========

I absolutely don't.   You're correct.

I was responding to this comment: "Did you hear there's a clause in Olbermann'­s  contract which will keep him off any other television station for the next two years", and I stand by my response that, "by firing him, the contract is no longer in effect".

We do not know the circumstan­ces of Olbermann'­s departure from MSNBC, that is true.  Olbermann implied in his parting words that he was fired, but we don't know that to be a fact.

But if you mean David Shuster ("the other host they fired"), Shuster wasn't fired but suspended indefinite­ly with pay during the term of the contract, and that's what kept him off the air.   

I'll take your advice in the same spirit as your gave yours to me ("keep it to yourself")­.
