Olbermann Indefinitely Suspended From PMSNBC
Mediaite ^ | 11/5/10 | Steve Krakauer

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.

I’m getting old, and the memory ain’t what it used to be -

But, didn’t MSNBC fire Keith once before, when he refused to cover the Clinton Impeachment??

I think it’s a stupid policy but it’s NBC’s policy.

It would be far better if they fired the Olberdork for being a vicious lying drooling clown with the IQ of a comatose cockroach.

However, since they have employed the sack of feces for years it seems absurd for him to be brought down over this.

otoh, he has the obligation of every employee to abide by company policies. It’s just that it’s a policy that goes against elementary American freedoms.....

They’ll suspend him for a token length of time and then take him back ... if they want him.

His ratings are dismal, but maybe no more so than anyone else on the station.

He may be making more money than he’s worth. That would be more than minimum wage.

Which is consistent with a lefty organization like NBC.

Because it looks like pay to play.

The words coming out of his mouth appear to me to be pay to play on one level or another.

Am I the only one who thinks that MSNBC has no business telling that vile, deranged, sack of scum who he can and can’t donate to?

You may be the only one who doesn't understand he broke the stations policy by not diclosing beforehand. This has nothing to do with who may or may not donate to.

Your impersionation was spot on!

OK, this is a total joke. I hate this guy but come on! Suspending him for supporting the party that he CLEARLY shills for is a complete pretense on NBC’s part to portray MSNBC as somehow objective.

Or maybe they were just looking for a good reason to can him.
