Title: MSNBC Suspends Olbermann After Donation To Dems Disclosed

News network MSNBC has suspended host Keith Olbermann indefinitely after a news report stated he donated to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates.

Mediaite quotes MSNBC President Phil Griffin as saying, "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."

Politico reported Friday:

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.

Grijalva, a prominent liberal who was just declared a winner in his race Thursday night, was in a tight contest against tea-party-backed candidate Ruth McClung when he appeared on "Countdown" — one of several appearances he made on the show.

NBC has a rule against employees contributing to political campaigns, and a wide range of news organizations prohibit political contributions — considering it a breach of journalistic independence to contribute to the candidates they cover.

how many donations to GOP candidates does he need to make to get a job with Fox?

And before the usual suspects get their panties in a wad, if Fox News had a similar standard, they would have to air a test pattern:

During the 2009-2010 election cycle, more than 30 Fox News personalities have endorsed, raised money, or campaigned for Republican candidates or organizations in more than 600 instances. The Republican support has been given to more than 300 different races or party organizations in at least 47 states. Fox News personalities and hosts have also helped start pro-Republican organizations, which have raised tens of millions of dollars.

"Great! See what a GOP landslide can do? It lifts ALL BOATS!"

Landslide? This was something that will no doubt hurt in the short term, but help President Obama in the long run.

I don't view this as a disaster, just a usual mid term adjustment exacerbated by economic times.

I witnessed Mt. Saint Helens blowing up from a tree planting unit slightly southeast to it just across the Columbia River. e fled in panic throwing our tools and running as fast as the Earth shaking would allow nearly crashing the crummy (jargon for work vehicle) on the way down the hill.

This was more like one of those many small landslides you see in Oregon on clear-cuts during the rainy season. Landslides you would never know were ever there several years down the road as the new trees spring up into full robust life after struggling for some years after a human with a hoedad planted them there.

This is just normal American political realities as they have always been in recant decades, nothing more.

It's evidence of severe head trauma.

"That sentence is not beacuse of a faulty keyboard."

You mis-spelled because. The only thing wrong with that sentence you cite is that I was southwest to the eruption on that large finger of Oregon that is there because the Columbia River turns to the north near Portland, not southeast.

Which is no big thing. As your mis-spelling isn't either. You are trying too hard to bait, and this is just not going to get you anywhere. I am not insecure because I fell, and am merely amused when a goonbah like you tries to make hay about it.

"It's be a pirate day for the brain damaged smurf."

Look at the jumble of this one sentence post by you. I hope you see that that makes little sense and is poorly written. Suggestion: if you are going to think of my writing as a glass house you can throw rocks at, don't be inside the glass house of your writing while you try this.

You just look silly. In any event, you are your own worse enemy with few people in any of these forums - even of the same political stripe as you - who hold you in any good regard.

Instead of vainly trying to bait and work some strange get back at someone revenge angle; why don't you concentrate on posting well, doing things ethically, and don't waste time and effort that gets you nowhere.

Thanks for the entertainment. And clean up the glass you broke with your rocks as you patch your place up. ;-D
