For NBC to do something this drastic it looks like there is more involved than the fact Olbermann made some donations.
NBC may want to change it’s tilt.

In later news, NBC has also suspended MSNBC for its continuing contributions to the democrat party.

[roaddog727]

yep,

Still around - just out of the country at present.

that would be poetic justice for sure.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

It's just an excuse to get rid of the prick without paying the cancellation costs on the contract.

Bingo. He won't be back on.

How many firings does that make for Keith - four? five?

[PGR88]

It is VERY NICE, YES!

[Marty62]

Olbermann is dumb as a stump. I wonder how many envelopes full of cash was passed to some designated dummie runner?

[unixfox]

The Kos Whackos are damn near suicidal over this.

And you know they are crying LAWSUIT, LAWSUIT!! free speech, free speech!!

Pathetic.

[Kaslin]

Will this do?

“He donated to the Arizona pair on Oct. 28 — the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on Olbermann’s “Countdown” show.”

What? Did he hand him a bag of money? What a couple of dopes (RATS)!

[TheRiverNile]

I think Comcast has found a technicality with which they can get out of his contract. He is suspended without pay for breaking policy. So, is Comcast truly right-wing and, if so, are they taking aim and picking off their primetime anchors one-by-one and replacing them?

[A CA Guy]

They are basically a Democrat party tool and they have the huevos to suspend someone over donations?

Up is down and down is up.

Probably it was their way to deal with him due to a lack of ratings.

[MissesBush]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! This makes up for not taking out Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer!!! We didn’t get those 2 creeps, but we got an even bigger one! Hopefully it’s permanent.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Mark Levin will be on this like white on rice!

Keith Overbite and Count Down To NO RATINGS!!!

[Mr. Mojo]

Let’s get behind the REAL REASON why Keith O was suspended ... he’s not bringing in the number of audience they need.

Thing is, neither are any of their other hosts. FNC kills them in every timeslot.

[Brookhaven]

If by right wing you mean they are in business to make money instead of losing money, then yea.

Even a blind person can see that MSNBC’s programming was consting them money. Heck, they could probably make more money changing MSNBC to an all oldies movie channel.

[School of Rational Thought]

How involved is Microsoft (the MS of MSNBC)or Bill Gates involved with the newtwork. Gates is a big supporter of liberal causes and his money makes Soros look like a piker.

Doesn’t anyone care about how his brother, Rachel Maddow, feels about this? Yeah, neither do I.

[TSgt]

Doesn’t anyone care about how his brother, Rachel Maddow, feels about this? Yeah, neither do I.

Very insensitive of you to forget about his sister, Chris Matthews. I'm sure she's deeply hurt.

My apologies (giggle).
