Why not? Like anyone is surprised that he was donating to the Left! This includes the entire network.

We're a news operation

ROFLMAO!!!

No, apparently they are a comedy operation! Thanks Rachel, I needed a good laugh. :D

[Texas Eagle]

I agree. Why make a martyr out of him? We all know he’s part of The Professional Left.

[muawiyah]

MSNBC's face on the world is gay and far leftwingtard.

No escaping that.

And yes, all of 'em should be fired. Their time has come ~ and gone!

Poll: Whom do we care less about:

Rachel Maddow vs Meghan McCain

Enquiring minds don’t give a crap.

RM like KO is a mendacious Leftist boil long overdue for lancing.

There are SO many.

“We’re a news operation.”

Get outta here! This is surely an earth-shaking revelation (sarc/)

[libertarian27]

". But we're not a political operation - Fox is. We're a news operation."

[dr_who]

Maybe Maddow will start selling Che-style t-shirts with Olberman’s face or something. Idiots.

[Texas Eagle]

...we're not a political operation. We're a news operation."

Well, in Rachel's defense, this does come as news to me.

[Feline_AIDS]

Rachel is a strange name for a man...

[GreenHornet]

I’m sure Olbermann’s dozens of viewers are up in arms over his suspension.

[trumandogz]

It’s a stupid rule that MSNBC employees cannot donate to candidates.

[Mr. Mojo]

Maddow also sought to dispel claims that MSNBC is a left-wing version of Fox News

It's not. FNC actually reports right down the middle, and many points of view from all corners of the political spectrum are expressed in its opinion segments.

SPEWING ALL THE PROPAGANDA THAT’S FIR TO SPEW.

“... [Fox] has a history of not just giving money to candidates, but actively endorsing campaigns and raising millions of dollars for politicians and political parties.”

So, is that documented or more leftwing hype and myth?

IIRC, MSNBC’s parent company, NBC, is owned in turn by GE. How strongly did they campaign for and raised millions of dollars for Team Obama and other Dems? More importantly, how well have they benefited from the Obama Administration ?

"Their network is run as a political operation. Ours isn't," Maddow said during the final segment of her show Friday. "Yeah, Keith's a liberal, and so am I. But we're not a political operation - Fox is. We're a news operation."

She is one of those leftists who think that just by strongly asserting something, they can make it so.

MSNBC is, if anything, more overtly liberal than FOX is pro-conservative because it takes that lib tactic of treating liberal positions as being not liberal at all, just common sense, what EVERYONE knows is the reasonable, rational position. They think their biased views are facts, and their conviction is all the proof one needs. So just shut up and believe them okay?

Here's the question I'd ask Maddow: If MSNBC WERE a liberal advocacy channel, how would it be any different from what it is now? All liberal hosts--check. A pro-liberal agenda--check. Advocacy for liberal causes on "news" shows--check.

So what's the difference?

Hey,Rachel, how about this--why don't you and Keith really show the courage of your convictions and leave behind all those MSNBC millions and go for a start-up liberal broadcasting radio station? Call it Air America.

Maybe Olbermann can work as a full time anger management consultant for Plugs Biteme, rather than just being on retainer.

[FlyingEagle]

That Rachel, he is so bitchy and pathetic.
