Get Keith Olbermann BACK On The Air!
Huffington Post reports: “MSNBC has suspended star anchor Keith Olbermann following the news that he had donated to three Democratic candidates this election cycle.”
NBC policy does not prohibit employees from donating to political candidates — but MSNBC president Phil Griffin is miffed that Keith didn’t get “prior approval’ first. Meanwhile, Republicans Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan also gave political contributions — but are not suspended. We’ve had enough insanity this week — we don’t need more because Phil Griffin’s feelings are hurt.
