Olbermann Suspension Is Lunacy

By Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone

06 November 10


The powers that be at MSNBC have a real public relations nightmare on their hands. How do they explain not suspending their morning show host for making political contributions? They explained in 2007 that Joe Scarborough "hosts an opinion program and is not a news reporter." Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" is not an opinion program? And what about NBC execs? Check out this report at FAIR.org. -- SMG/RSN

1. It's not about Consistency--It's about abuse of power
It's always about abuse of power. And until this administration starts doing something about that abuse, it will continue. Just like the Church's pederasty problem.

3. It's easy.
If Keith had contributed to Republican candidates, nothing would have happened to him.
