Keith Olbermann of MSNBC was suspended today without pay for donating his money to some Democrats. What, MSNBC honestly thought Olbermann was independent?
From AOL news: MSNBC liberal talk show host Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely without pay from MSNBC after his boss learned he had violated newsroom policies by giving campaign contributions to three Democratic candidates for Congress...
In a terse statement today, MSNBC TV President Phil Griffin said, "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 news that the liberal flamethrower had thrown cash to three congressional candidates was first reported by Politico.

Ahh, yes, Keith, you are an unhinged lefty:
But, MSNBC, you know Olbermann is a lefty, don't pretend that he is not, And MSNBC, please don't pretend you are holier than thou- you're not.
Just plain stupid, MSNBC.

There's talk that Comcast wants Keith out, and his donations were just a pretext. This would be a surpremely boneheaded move if that is true, unless they're planning on rebuilding--or replacing--the channel from the ground up. If Keith goes, there goes their highest rated program, not to mention the lead-in for their other two.
ReplyDeletePeople like to joke that MSNBC isn't watched by anybody. If this were true, the story wouldn't STILL be a trending Twitter topic and top Google News story. Obviously, Keith has a lot of fans, AND a lot of bitter enemies, or nobody would care.
