Damn, how bad does their propaganda department have to **** up to get the DUmmies to call for boycotts. Cause PMSNBC sure did step on their dick in this case.

Hark! I hear the sound of wailing and gnashing of teeth!

55. Olbermann criticized FOX news division strongly for doing it.
   
The problem here is that, for some unfathomable reason, NBC has Olbermann classified as a news anchor when he is clearly a commentator.

And let the spin commence!

Isn't Olbermann like their biggest draw? I only watch Maddow and Olbermann if I'm watching MSNBC..

Yup, which is pretty pathetic ratings wise.

25. Has he tweeted? They probably shut down that account, too.   Updated at 11:52 AM
   
Nothing on the Maddow blog. We may still have Rachel. Time for KO and David Shuster to have their own show somewhere else. He donated to worthy causes, at least! KO still speaks for me! Who needs GEM$NBC anywhoo.

Wonder where exactly that would be. al-Gore's channel?

35. ahhh IDK about that.
   
He gets a lot of ratings and I bet they wouldn't have 'suspended' him if they wanted him gone. they would have outright fired him.

Proof of the exceedingly low level of expectations the average DUmbass has.

Maybe Fox News would give them a show at 3 in the morning?  Oh wait, they have Redeye on then and it already beats Olbermann in the ratings.  :rotf:

57. But Corporations are
   
'real' people and have all the free speech....there is none left for the 'little' people. And if a 'little' person tries to use that free speech for a progressive, well....they're be hell to pay.

Un ****ing believable.

So MSNBC could give permission to someone who wanted to donate to a repugnant, but refuse someone who wanted to donate to a dem.
because we all know that Progressives give so much!

There is no way Olbermann would jeopardize his position over 3 donations. Something doesn't add up.
I see at the HUfPo they are crazy too!

Now appearing at Daily Kos:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/11/5/917884/-Keith-Olbermann-Has-Been-Suspended-from-MSNBC-

blah-blah-blah confirmation links and this:

I wonder if Mr Phill Griffin checked if his beloved Joe Scarborough donated money to GOP candidates.

almost 600 comments, I bet they're DUzies.....after a quick scan, MSNBC has Joe Scarborough's back:

Quote
Here's the statement from MSNBC about Joe (4+ / 0-)

Recommended by:Helena Handbag, ScantronPresident, Diogenes2008, Jane Lew
 
Quote
Joe Scarborough, host of the "Morning Joe" talk show and the evening newscast "Scarborough Country," $4,200 in March 2006 to Derrick Kitts, Republican candidate for the House from Oregon. ... A spokesperson for NBC, Jeremy Gaines, replied to questions sent to Scarborough. "Yes, he did make a donation to Derrick Kitts. Kitts is an old friend of Joe's. Joe hosts an opinion program and is not a news reporter."


In other words, what he did is okay because he's only the host of an "opinion program." Oh, and he only donates to "old friends." Uh huh. Would you classify KO as a news anchor? I always assumed that he also hosted an "opinion program." Guess not, according to MSNBC.

For the Lurkers:

Quote
NBC's ethics policy generally bars political activity, including contributions, without the approval of the president of NBC News, Steve Capus, according to a 2007 story on MSNBC.com.

"Anyone working for NBC News who takes part in civic or other outside activities may find that these activities jeopardize his or her standing as an impartial journalist because they may create the appearance of a conflict of interest," it says. "Such activities may include participation in or contributions to political campaigns or groups that espouse controversial positions. You should report any such potential conflicts in advance to, and obtain prior approval of, the President of NBC News or his designee."

He had them on then donated the max to their campaigns after he interviewed them.

All the while he was trashing donations made (legally) by Rupert Murdoch.
