Rehire MSNBC Staffer

So, will Phil Griffin give the fired MSNBC staffer his/her job back. The reaction to the Coca-Cola commerical seems to have proven the staffer right. I realize it was not the Cheerios commerical, but it was multi-lingual and multicultural and it angered a number of people. It is likely that the people angered are right wingers.

Most of MSNBC loyals do not listen or watch FOX so the exposure to their needed voters will not happen.

in order. Likely it was a low level worker who really needed the job. May he or she was fired and re-hired into a better position since the person appears to be extremely perceptive?
