Adding to the historic victory delivered by the American people this week, NBC provided a Friday surprise that gives us the topping on the cake.
“MSNBC has suspended star anchor Keith Olbermann following the news that he had donated to three Democratic candidates this election cycle.
“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,” MSNBC president Phil Griffin said in a statement.
Politico reported Friday that Olbermann had donated $2,400 each to Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, and to Kentucky Senate contender Jack Conway. While NBC News policy does not prohibit employees from donating to political candidates, it requires them to obtain prior approval from NBC News executives before doing so.
Update:
VIDEO: Olbermann Blasted Fox News…for Making Political Donations!
Keith Olbermann is a pompous liberal who was a stuttering fool during election coverage. The only thing he and Rachel Maddow could do was to put on their false smiles, laugh, and continue to insult O’Donnell. They didn’t want to look at the rest of the country where liberals got their asses handed to them. The only thing that he and Rachel Maddow do is dig up crap to smear people’s reputation. Turns out they only have to go as far as their own news desk. The American people spoke up and sent their message loud and clear to liberals: we won’t put up with liberal rhetoric, radical ideologies, increased government intrusion, and increased deficits and unemployment. Since MSNBC is the liberal media machine for the current administration, I’ll guarantee that nothing will happen to Mr Olbermann. MSNBC would rather hold others accountable but not their own liberals. And regarding the election results, MSNBC: Suck it up!
REALLY? Keith Olbermann, should NEVER have been on TV, However, He does do a GREAT job to show that Liberals are at the bottom of the food chain. Also, How Progressives are able to wake up in the most amazing country in the world and find everything about it that is wrong, awful and terrible. GREAT to Know He is Off MSNBC. Won’t change his attitude or personality.
I will try and watch this news station, again. Sometime ….Later.. Way… In the future.
Thank you MSNBC, Intelligent decision.
Sincerely,
