Blowback to the political donation is immediate, and shocking.
Statement from Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC:
I became aware of Keith’s political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.

The whole channel exists to boost the Democrats
Their on-air contributions are a lot more valuable than anything they donate out of pocket.
So MSNBC doesn’t want their liberal talking heads to make donations, lest some might think them biased? Geez, they are already the cable campaign arm of the DNC.
While I agree with you, it appears Olbermann wasn’t suspended for making contributions, but for not revealing them to network brass before doing so (which is apparently the NBC regulation). It doesn’t help that he had at least one of the candidates he donated to on his show.
The perfect ending to a great week!
Democrat Congressman Harry Mitchell of Arizona is looking for work. He is hearing impaired, but that was never a problem until now.
It’s apparent they wanted to get rid of him and now have their excuse...
Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars in in-kind favorable exposure on his joke of a show...
The 19 communist assclowns who watch his show will find something else to do with themslves, I’m sure.
Because it looks like pay to play.
The Kos whackos are in full meldown-mode.
You can see the hilarity foe yourself here!!
I must say. This just ends what was already a superb week on a high note!
That's the first thing I wondered about, too.
It's surreal.
COULD MATHEWS BE NEXT. ALSO THROW OUT THE LOUDMOUTH
REPORTER THAT IS ALWAYS THERE FOR THEIR INANE OPINIONS.
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER AND THESE COMMENTATORS
@ MSNBC ARE WHAT YOU SEE AND GET. KRUGMAN BELONGS WITH
MSNBC..LEAVE OFF THE “KR” AND YOU GET THE PICTURE. JK
This cannot be a picture of Olbermann. I have it on good authority that he uses Ivory Flakes ...much harder to pick up.
It’s good he still lives in his mother’s basement.
This action is a result of him violating his agreement with his employer. From the CNN article about this:
“The contributions may have violated an NBC policy that requires employers of the news organization to obtain permission ahead of any political donations or activities that could be deemed as a conflict of interest. CNN institutes a similar policy.”

So, please stop defending this scumbag piece of shiite.
