    MSNBC has suspended Keith Olbermann, not for political donations, but for failing to get his bosses approval for the donations.

    Not sure why it's a big deal though. Are they worried people are going to think he's got a liberal bias? A bit late for that.

        Maybe this is a big reason for it:

        The donation to Grijalva came on the same day the Democratic incumbent appeared on "Countdown," Politico reported.

          Good. One down, several more to go. (Matthews, O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity being the prime targets.)

            While Matthews isn't particularly insightful, I don't think it's reasonable to lump him in with that crew.

              You should've seen him embarrass himself on MSNBC's election coverage. ****ing hilarious. Epically awful, truly.

                  I think he was the one that hysterically demanded to know if Michelle bachman was hypnotized as she talked about the Republican win, to which Bachman replied that it must not be sending a tingling sensation up his legs anymore.

                    Bachman is more of a ****** than Matthews is.

                      theres a thread at cfc on this and someone posted an article about a recent shake up in MSNBC management, Zucker is out and some Repub supporting Comcast exec is in control now.

                      But I'm pissed at MSNBC, they skewered Sue Lowden (Nevada) paving the way for Angle to win the primary, then they immediately began ripping her apart. They ignored Rand Paul's views on the civil rights act until he won the primary, then they ripper him apart. They appeared to me to be trying to get the weakest candidate to win various GOP primaries. Thats a political party tactic, not something I'd expect from a "news" org. Hell, even Fox didn't do that.

                      Bachman is more of a ****** than Matthews is.
                      true enough, she was warning her constituents about filling out the census until someone told her she could lose her seat if they actually heeded her warning.

                        I've seen that video. I thought it was awesome.

                        He kept asking her if she was "in a trance" because she kept giving the same answer to different questions.

                          Which should tell you just how terrible a performance Tweety put on given that I actually felt sympathy for that Stepford-eyed ****.

                            I for one am glad MSNBC enforces it's ethics rules like NPR does.

                            To bad Fox doesn't.

                              Who says Fox has ethics rules forbidding giving to political campaigns? Not all journalism outlets have that rule. Time Magazine, the New Yorker, etc don't prohibit campaign contributions, while some like the Washington Post and CNN forbid it all outright (NBC allows it if you have permission of your boss).
