MSNBC Suspends Keith Olbermann Indefinitely for Contributing to Democratic Campaigns
Reuters
MSNBC announced Friday that it has suspended prime-time host Keith Olbermann indefinitely and without pay for making political contributions to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates.
The MSNBC host admitted to donating to three Democratic campaigns.
In a statement provided to FoxNews.com, Phil Griffin, president of the network, said he “became aware of Keith’s political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.”
Olbermann acknowledged to NBC that he donated $2,400 apiece to the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.
NBC News prohibits its employees from working on, or donating to, political campaigns unless a special exception is granted by the news division president — effectively a ban. Olbermann’s bosses did not find out about the donations until after they were made.
The website Politico first reported the donations.
According to the Politico report, the contributions were made this fall, including one that came just hours after Grijalva appeared on Olbermann’s program.
Olbermann’s “Countdown” show, which airs at 8 p.m. ET, is MSNBC’s most popular program. He was a co-anchor of MSNBC’s election coverage this week.
Chris Hayes will fill in for Olbermann on Friday’s program, the network said.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. The way I look at it, one down, two to go. Matthews, Maddow and that Ed guy, should be next.

The entire Fox Network made political contributions in the millions to the Republican Governor’s Assn. Olberman makes 3 donations to candidates and he’s Satan.
Conservatives are demonic in their ability to ignore facts.
@anonymous:
1-Got any facts to back that up…or is it just Socialist Hyperbole?
2-I agree the contributions don’t matter- the guy is a low quality propagandist and everyone knows it..that why his ratings are in the tank (this story may just be cover to ease his fat stupid head out)
