Keith Olberman Suspended
How dumb is MSNBC for suspending Keith Olberman because he did not disclose he donated money to a Democrat (that lost I must add). I mean all they have to do is watch his show to know he is liberal and supports the left. Maybe they thought it was a secret that he leans to the left.

Re: Keith Olberman Suspended
Well, he didn't follow company policy. But he's back tomorrow, so it was really just a slap on the wrist

Re: Keith Olberman Suspended
I don't look at him as a reporter to start with because he is bias like Hanity so who cares who he donates money too.

Re: Keith Olberman Suspended
I don't mind partisan news as longs as like Olberman you know where they are coming from up front. Its the ones that hide behind the "Objective Reporter" when they are not that gets me.

Re: Keith Olberman Suspended
i think it is a reference to the fox news intro i was mentioning which says "fair and balanced". its funny that they trump that then 2 seconds into any show they rip into dems or dem news stations like msnbc as being biased.

Re: Keith Olberman Suspended
Without this thread, no one would have noticed his absence.
