Keith Olbermann, the Democrat talking head who happens to have a show on MSNBC that is routinely trounced in the ratings by Fox News, has been suspended for violating NBC's company policy relating to political donations.
CNN reports:
Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's primetime firebrand host, has been suspended indefinitely for violating the ethics policies of his employer earlier this year when he donated to three Democrats seeking federal office, MSNBC announced Friday.
"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.
The MSNBC reporting Tuesday night was laughable as Chris Matthews, Rachel Madow, and Olbermann sat around eating humble pie while mocking every conservative and Republican that came across the screen. I accept that MSNBC is partisan, just as I accept that Fox News is mostly conservative (save Geraldo or Juan Williams), but at least Fox acts in a respectable manner to those of opposing view points. On the other hand, MSNBC's snobby elitism and preference for a command economy is palpable with each program host's snide remark.
Olbermann "was a vocal critic of the $1 million donation by Fox News' parent News Corp. to the Republican Governor's Association earlier this year, saying at the time, "We now have another million reasons Fox News is the Republican news channel." But, don't expect Olby to admit that there are several thousand reasons why his program is the Democrat's "Count Down".
It's quite comical really, that the hate spewed by Keith Olbermann at Glenn Beck and other conservatives is now coming full circle. Olby is the Glenn Beck of MSNBC, just on the opposite side of the spectrum.
