Huffington post

Sounds like MSNBC didn't like Olbermann donating to politicians and violating a policy of theirs.

He will probably be back. GE donated heavily to Dems as well. They got tons of Stimulus cash.

Oh poop, bring him back, it's not like BSNBC is any kind of legitimate news organization anyway. As if people needed any other reason to doubt their overwhelming bias....election night proved once and for all who's butt they butter.

The cartoon network needs the competition....Free Olberdork!

MSNBC won't do anything to Olbie. He's got their highest rated show.

I'm not sure why they're bothering. It looked to me like the triumvirate of Matthews/Olbermann/Maddow on election night was an overt admission that they were not into balance anyway.

How is this any more shocking that Limbaugh giving money to Republicans? Why would they even have such a policy when they don't even pretend to do the news anymore?

In any case, I'm in full support of Olbermann here and hope he gets back on the air as soon as possible. Olbermann has done more for conservatives just by acting ridiculous than O'Reilly and Hannity put together. He is essentially the liberal version of The Colbert Report.

If only Keith had a wife, like the late Tim Russert whose wife gave generously to Dem candidates. Almost every married news anchor’s spouse was a major donor.

Proof of his stupidity. Millions and millions went to Obama for 2008 through anonymous credit card contributions. Duh!

Does this mean the network did not want to appear biased?

Mr. O will come clean though. He’ll be spending the next week in the bathtub.
