Blowback to the political donation is immediate, and shocking.

Statement from Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC:

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.

I guess he’ll say that George W. Bush contributed the funds in his name.

Gimme a break.

MSNBC contributes tens of millions of dollars of TV time to the Democratic Party.

They pay Olbermann to editorialize in favor of the Democratic Party.

Now they suspend him for contributing a fraction of his MSNBC paycheck to the Democratic Party?

Get outta town!

Yep, it’s for real.

Suspended indefinitely for donations to three Democrats.

I guess MSNBC should have made the donations directly, like News Corp did.

And I wonder what the donations records are of *all* the cable anchors, from MSNBC to CNN to Fox.
