NBC policy does not prohibit employees from donating to political candidates

If that's true, he was likely suspended for other reasons and MSNBC is doing him a favor for making this excuse. Do the Huffies really want to know what he was suspended for?

I thought originally that NBC was trying to set a precedent to have ALL media types fired for contributing. THEN demand FOX do the same.

Uber-moan IS expendable in that fight.

But you're right. He is probably a closet pederast and animal-sodomite, or worse...

They forget the part where it says ‘without prior permission of the editor in chief’ - which ‘Beerman did not get prior to making his donations.

‘Beerman was NOT suspended for the donations per se, but not adhering to company policy.

Probably his contributions were payoff for convincing them to appear on his program.

They carefully avoid the fact that part of the agreement is that if you donate you have to let MSNBC know. It’s about openness and being aware of who’s doing what. Again, the core of this problem which isn’t being discussed is that he put these people on the air. He was secretly giving them money and then “innocently” giving them air time.

Stupid? Unfair? Then why’d you agree to it, Keith?

He’s been at war with Griffin for a long time. There is more to this than campaign donations. Maybe they have finally concluded he is a card carrying nut.

I bet he defecated in the blue room right before a Republican guest was going to enter.

This guy is loony, election night may have broke the man’s mind.

Actually its only half of the truth. The policy does not prohibit making donations to political candidates but DOES call for giving prior notice and gaining approval for such donations.

Mr. Olberman failed to either notify or gain approval for these donation and as such was in violation of the stated policy.

Attempts by the liberal community to make "morally relative" comparisons to donations made by Republicans, have to omit this little nugget of truth in order to make their case.

And for all those that wish to make some silly comment about "violation of Free Speech" I would remind you that those protection are specifically written to limit the power of "Government" and are not intended to apply to private citizens or corporations as it pertains to placing limits on "free speech" with regards to their employees.

Mr. Olberman remains free to donate to the candidates of his choice. He simply will not be allowed to do so as a "employee" of MSNBC.

A high NBC official{also known as a head man}, said that he thought or felt or believed that someone at msnbc was having sex with the NBC peacock.

No names were made pubic, butt, it is known within secret NBC circle, jerks, that oberwoman was seen with a peacock feather tickling chrissy's leg.
