NBC Suspends Olbermann for Donations

CBSNEWS.com

MSNBC has suspended prime-time host Keith Olbermann indefinitely without pay for making political contributions.

Politico reported Friday that Olbermann contributed to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates this fall, including one on the same day he appeared on Olbermann's "Countdown" program.

------------

Just damn....

This is BULL####. This is an outrage. Who the flying hell does MSNBC think they are kidding???? Every single one of their shows is, in essence, a political contribution.

This is arresting Jack the Ripper for having a blade 1" longer than the law allows. What a freaking crock.

No effing way!!! He is MSNBC. Their coverage election night was classic; Keef, Chris, Rach, Ed, Lawrence and Gene Robinson singing the same music, same verse, sharing a bottle and singing the blues together.

No single entity is more responsible for the GOP getting another chance so big and so soon than MSNBC. The incessant pewling and laughable partisanship was, in my view, indispensable in revealing and showing the left for what it is.

if I am Boehner, I demand, from the floor of the House, that he be reinstated today, if not sooner.

I am NOT kidding!!! No one would ever believe these people are this childish, this vapid, this self indulgent, if it wasn't there to be seen and heard, day after day, show after show, straight form their mouths.

Outrage.

I think there's more to this than contributions.

That said, this can't end well for MSNBC. Who are they going to move to 8pm? Dylan Ratigan? Tamron Hall? Contessa Brewer? Give me a ####ing break.

When has Olbermann ever had a standing as an impartial journalist?

MSNBC sets itself up as the liberal equivalent to FOX News, spends time and money investing in "Lean Forward" and then they basically fire the face of MSNBC Primetime.

That's total 100% BULL####.


FOX is nowhere near as partisan, top to bottom, host after host, as MSNBC.


They stand on their own as a wing of the Democratic Party.

FOX, Beck is a TEA party type, not a GOP lackey. Anyone who watches Bill O knows he's rather independent. Most of their hosts are very middle of the road, Baier, Smith, Cavuto, etc, and not an endless parade of editorialist's like MSNBC.

FOX has it's partisans. Nothing like MSNBC where everyone is except Pat Buchanan and he is decidedly anti GOP Establishment.
