MSNBC host Keith Olbermann made campaign contributions to two Arizona members of Congress and failed Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway ahead of Tuesday’s election — a potential violation of NBC ethics policies.
Olbermann, who acknowledged the contributions in a statement to POLITICO, made the maximum legal donations of $2,400 apiece to Conway and to Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. He donated to the Arizona pair on Oct. 28 — the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on Olbermann’s “Countdown” show.

For NBC to do something this drastic it looks like there is more involved than the fact Olbermann made some donations.
NBC may want to change it’s tilt.
yep,
Still around - just out of the country at present.
that would be poetic justice for sure.
Bingo. He won't be back on.
How many firings does that make for Keith - four? five?
Olbermann is dumb as a stump. I wonder how many envelopes full of cash was passed to some designated dummie runner?
And you know they are crying LAWSUIT, LAWSUIT!! free speech, free speech!!
Pathetic.
“He donated to the Arizona pair on Oct. 28 — the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on Olbermann’s “Countdown” show.”
What? Did he hand him a bag of money? What a couple of dopes (RATS)!
I think Comcast has found a technicality with which they can get out of his contract. He is suspended without pay for breaking policy. So, is Comcast truly right-wing and, if so, are they taking aim and picking off their primetime anchors one-by-one and replacing them?
They are basically a Democrat party tool and they have the huevos to suspend someone over donations?
Up is down and down is up.
Probably it was their way to deal with him due to a lack of ratings.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! This makes up for not taking out Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer!!! We didn’t get those 2 creeps, but we got an even bigger one! Hopefully it’s permanent.
Mark Levin will be on this like white on rice!
Keith Overbite and Count Down To NO RATINGS!!!
Thing is, neither are any of their other hosts. FNC kills them in every timeslot.
If by right wing you mean they are in business to make money instead of losing money, then yea.
Even a blind person can see that MSNBC’s programming was consting them money. Heck, they could probably make more money changing MSNBC to an all oldies movie channel.
How involved is Microsoft (the MS of MSNBC)or Bill Gates involved with the newtwork. Gates is a big supporter of liberal causes and his money makes Soros look like a piker.
Doesn’t anyone care about how his brother, Rachel Maddow, feels about this? Yeah, neither do I.
My apologies (giggle).
