C'mon, has anybody ever been under the illusion that this guy was an objective journalist?

[venom]

Yes , the left did .

[st33lersguy]

He made campaign contributions to democrats and msnbc did not double his salary?

I saw a half decayed opossum on the side of the road about a week ago and it's mouth was open just like this.

Just sayin..

He thought he was untouchable, but he is corruptable. The Democrats had complete control and it turns out they are bigger crooks than the Republicans.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with fansince. This is simply a case of Olbermann being Olbermann. This isn't surprising to anyone and doesn't count as a controversy in my book.

It's silly for MSNBC to have a rule against that. Olbermann does an opinion show. How can it be OK to spew propaganda every night but not OK to give a couple thousand dollars to a campaign?

Probably because he agreed to participate in MSNBC's voting night coverage...which is NOT an opinion show.

well I watched a little of MSNBCs coverage on election night and it sure looked like an opinion show to me.
They had O'Donnell, Maddow, Matthews and Olbmann, I mean c'mon !!

You are exactly correct...Olbermans suspension is the knee jerk reaction to the flak that MSNBC is catching for their one-sided coverage.

[JonM229]

MSNBC is as moderate as Free Republic (http://www.freerepublic.com)

[zulater]

He should have just given to NPR.

I don't feel bad for Olberman, I do however think the reason they used for the suspension was bullshit. IMO

The "rule" might be bullcrap...but the enforcement of the rule was correct.

[The Patriot]

Yeah, couldn't care less.
