1. At least MSNBC

is being consistant. Have to give them some credit for that, though I do think the whole issue is silly. These are commentators and everyone who has a brain knows the political leaning of both Olbermann and Scarborough.

[BurtWorm]

2. They opened a whole dumb can of worms with Olbermann's suspension.

Idiots run our media.

[Mz Pip]

3. This is true.

they don't think things through, that's for sure.

10. Wonder how many people will fax, email, call and

in general freak out and demand his return. Ummm, perhaps 2. Mika Mouse and Buchannan. :P

[madinmaryland]

12. Only one will. Buchanan is hosting the show with Mika.

:yoiks:

[Oceansaway]

13. barnicle will copy demand returns

from keiths page and send them in as his own.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Actually there's movement afoot

And to be consistent I will probably sign it.

The policy is stoopid, IMHO.

[avaistheone1]

18. Indeed

[Tatiana]

5. They are only doing it because they were being exposed as hypocrites regarding KO.

It's very interesting that Politico also brought this to light.

I wonder what Politico's agenda is.

17. .

[DainBramaged]

4. Are his two days Saturday and Sunday?

:eyes:

[madmax]

7. ...

:rofl:

[madmax]

6. He was on this a.m. Does he know?

:evilgrin: I don't care about Joe 'Dead Intern' Scarborough. KO was another story. So I'm a hypocrite :shrug:

[GodlessBiker]

8. I like my bias on the outside, where I can see it. All commentators should give money to ...

candidates they believe in, so I know where they are coming from.

[PBS Poll-435]

9. I feel scared for his show's interns

Go home for Thanksgiving already, ladies!

[madmax]

11. Today he chewed out a male intern on the air

I felt sorry for the intern. Joey is such an ass!

[TheWatcher]

15. Being an intern for Scarface can get you Murdered.

Ask the girl that Joe did away with.

Oh, that's right, we can't.

I often wonder who Joe really works for.

He got away with Murder, so he must be of some importance.

14. So, what is the real story here; MSNBC suspends commentators for poliical

donations. Fox simply operates as usual, even in a more biased tone. CNN advertises they are the true non-biased news org, not like Fox or CNN.

I would hope maybe this brings to light and a real serious discussion about what the news organizations have come to.
