Kieth Olbermann Suspended by MSNBC
Reaganite Republican ^ | November 5, 2010 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 11/05/2010 11:49:19 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican

Donations to Democratic candidates violated the network's ethics policy... (I didn't know they even had one!)

First his "Worst Person in the World" bites the dust... walls closing-in fast now on this talentless hack Kieth Olbermann: Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely without pay from MSNBC for making donations to three Democrats in violation of NBC's ethics policy.

"I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night," Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC, said in a statement. "Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay."

Olbermann, who does not hide his liberal views, has acknowledged donations of $2,400 each to Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords during this election cycle.

Has sanity truly broken out or something? The House is GOP again, Obama’s in the thirties popularity wise and now this? It’s enough to make me giddy I tells you. Well Keith, there’s always Fox? Just ask Juan!

I think this is a case of writing so many policies, procedures, rules, guidelines, standards, and practices that one is sure to "cross the line" somewhere.

This just gives them the excuse to get rid of an epic failure without calling him that to his face.

Perhaps he can get a broadcasting job in Kenya??? That's where his buddy is from.

I doubt this has any thing to do with the donations, or the fact that they are public now.

It has to do with his ratings (or lack there of) and a legal way to get rid of him with out paying out on the contract.

Watching the Dino Corporate Media maintain this facade of impartiality is hilarious.

Violated NBC's ethics?

What the hell are they ranting about?

They have none.

I have no use for oberwoman, but firing him for giving a few bucks, when the network gives the demonRATs free air time every day {oh, they know that no one is watching}, OK then.
