Olbermann Indefinitely Suspended From PMSNBC
Mediaite ^ | 11/5/10 | Steve Krakauer

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.

Oblabbermann has already admitted he made these contributions, and one can only speculate how many other contribs he has made in the past via cash and checks to other candidates by other means.

All I can say on this occasion is, "hahahahaha!"

YES!! Rush is talking about it right now. Olbermann violated rules by donating to 3 Democrats.

HE just became aware?

Fire Phil Griffin — the stupid liar.

It’s a good excuse to get rid of him. His numbers suck!

Bye Bye Keith!
Could not help yourself could you. Maybe CNN will pick you up.


Comcast had made it clear that the lineup was going to be changed. And that the only question was who was going to be fired. Well Keith saved them the trouble of making the choice.

Watch for Olberman to be replaced by some out of work RINO like Charlie Crist. That will give the appearance of balance without actually balancing anything.

The value of what he gives the Democrat party every day by means of his commentary is worth far more than the paltry amounts of money he donated.

MSNBC has cast itself as a liberal alternative to the conservative Fox News channel, a move that has helped the network improve its ratings, though not to the level of Fox News.

Understatement of the year! HA HA HA HA!

Am I the only one who thinks that MSNBC has no business telling that vile, deranged, sack of scum who he can and can’t donate to?

What business is it of those swill distributors to whom that putruid purveyor of puerile propaganda donates his own ill begotten goods based on his disastrously misguided free will?

They didn’t know where he stood?

They knew he was a leftist who promoted leftism on their network.

They had a rule about donations intended to provide them with a bit of cover.

Keith Obamamann broke his employer's rule.
