Definitely Bush’s fault.
It’s a publicity stunt. Continue ignoring MSNBC.
Well in reality, they had to do something since he was so brazen to admit it in print. But as far as the libs are concerned his only breach was that he was caught.
10th time this has been posted today, “search” is our friend.
MSNBC management destroyed billions of shareholder value (probably not much of an exaggeration) by converting the company into a democrat propaganda machine.
Hard for me to imagine that these guys haven’t figured out that we all noticed Olbermann was a partisan liberal nutcase long before now. Do they think that by banning his political contributions, they are somehow keeping it a secret?

I’always thought Olberman had some sort of tube continously pumping air into his windpipe so he could rant for 3 minutes straight without taking a breath. If he has a talent, it is in being able to produce long-winded, multi-parenthetical, run-on sentences seemingly without end.
This is just vacation/hiatus time for Kreep Olberfhurer, not to look like a fool on his show after the Republican “wave”, without him descending into frothing, raving, madness onscreen, and, so that he can work up a whole new raft of updated lies to tell about republicans, “righties”, and “teabaggers”.
.
Sort of like Crap Matthews, “updated” *his* compulsive lying accusations of being “racist”...to now saying “tribal” and “ethnic” instead.
This is the best thing MSNBC could have done for Olbermann. Firing a socialist commentator for donating funds to a socialist candidate is just as wrong as firing a conservative commentator for donating to a conservative. MSNBC should have fired him for low ratings. Instead, he will end up as a martyr.
Will Countdown name Olbermann as the Worst Person in the World tonight?
I think he got away with it in the past, but MSNBC has now decided that he’s too much of a liability. Look for Rachael Maddow to be next.
Welcome to the Olbermann got suspended web site. You’re thread is about the 12th time today. Search is your friend and reading the topics is also.
BS story.
They can’t suspend someone without pay.
Trying to gin up viewership
Look, this just gives voice to CNN and others to scream bloody murder at FOX for Beck, Hannity, et.al.
One more "CORRUPT BASTARD" down, and more to come. First Dan Rather, now this one...
Matthews, you pant load, you're next. And then Perky Katie, Schlepper Smith, Whoraldo...the list goes on.
It’s ironic that he was suspended for spending a few thousand dollars confirming the bias that everybody knows he has, but has used millions of dollars worth of air time to campaign for Democrats without any repurcussions.
First, let me say I absolutely detest Keith Olbermann. I would rather watch a vomiting contest than him.
But, I think it is wrong for his employer to prohibit his political contributions.
Beyond voting, supporting candidates of your choice is a HUGE part of the political process & part of every citizens right of free speech.
Besides, Olbermann is NOT a journalist; he is a commentator. His political leanings are clearly Leftist. The idea that he can spend every weeknight pushing Leftist policies & supporting Leftist politicians, but cannot contribute money to support those policies/politicians is a bizarre contradiction.
Since MSNBC is a (so-called) news organization, shouldn't the same prohibition be applied to MSNBC? Isn't MSNBC’s overwhelming Leftist bent the equivalent of monetary support of candidates/policies? Hours of Leftist propaganda by MSNBC is worth millions of dollars to the Left.
So, the employer can contribute money, labor, & air time to the Leftist causes, yet its employees may not.
The idea that an employer can prohibit political free speech seems illegal to me. Certainly unfair.
Does this prohibition extend to wives, parents, children, significant others, & BFFs,? If not, it is as unenforceable as it is unfair.
