MSNBC has suspended star anchor Keith Olbermann following the news that he had donated to three Democratic candidates this election cycle.
“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.

Wow, if FNC did this, who would be left there for anything?
It’s an NBC rule he broke, but quantitatively not anywhere near what both FOX News and CNN commentators do. He needs to apologize (for not disclosing it when doing interviews w/ people he donated to), but I certainly don’t think it’s a termination offense. Besides, he’s their money-maker.
