DC Tom Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/09/23/bachmann_hannity_donation So what?
Magox Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/09/23/bachmann_hannity_donation Not suprisingly, you completely missed the point. I believe most people agree that it was stupid that MSNBC had a policy of not allowing their "personalities" to not contribute to politicians, however, that was their policy and he broke it. AND The article from Salon in a subtle manner was attempting to shine a light on Hannity and his contributions to Bachmann, in an attempt to show FOX's bias towards GOP candidates, I wonder if they did the same on the Olbermann story tying them to MSNBC's bias for liberal candidates. Once again Conner, you come away looking like the idiot you are.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 He violated his employer's code of conduct. The code of conduct itself I think is bull ****...but he did violate it. I also agree. He did viloate it. Even federal employees under the Hatch Act can make partisan donations.
IDBillzFan Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Once again Conner, you come away looking like the idiot you are. Stand by. He went to dig up a DailyKos link, and then you're in BIG trouble.

I thought conner's point was to show that Fox has a double standarad in not suspending Hannity for violating MSNBC's code of conduct... Once again Conner, you come away looking like the idiot you are. Doesn't change that fact, of course.
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Funny, I would have expected you to parrot Rachel Maddow's commentary tonight that this is proof positive that MSNBC is a real news organization simply because Fox would never have a policy like this. Yes. That's what she said. MSNBC. Real news organization. Because Fox (fill in the blank, blah, blah, blah, Fox had 7 million views on Tuesday, while Keith and Maddow had 27, blah, blah, blah.) Come to think of it, if we compare your comment to hers, you almost come within the realm of having a point. Wait. No you don't. It always just sounds like "May I mommy dog face to the banana patch?" MSNBC suspending Kieth Olbermann, to prove it is not politically biased, is like Norman Bates not swatting a fly, to prove he's not Psycho. Suspended...not fired BTW.
Andy Rooney Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 He's back!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101108/cm_yblog_upshot/keith-olbermann-returns-to-msnbc-on-tuesday
Chef Jim Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 So does this mean his first Worst Human Being segment when he's back will be about him?
Buftex Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 So does this mean his first Worst Human Being segment when he's back will be about him? He doesn't do the "worst person in the world" bit any more.
Chef Jim Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 He doesn't do the "worst person in the world" bit any more. I think it's time for a revival.
Nanker Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I think it's time for a revival. They said it could not be done.
Magox Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 They said it could not be done. Gene Frenkle would love this...
Nanker Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Jesus Christ Good Gosh man. That's Jeepers Creepers to you.
Gene Frenkle Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Good Gosh man. That's Jeepers Creepers to you. Save me Jebus!
drnykterstein Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Morning Joe just got a suspension for the same reason.
IDBillzFan Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Morning Joe just got a suspension for the same reason. First they suspend Olbermann. Then they suspend Scarborough. It's like MSNBC is trying to be fair and balanced.
OCinBuffalo Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 First they suspend Olbermann. Then they suspend Scarborough. It's like MSNBC is trying to be fair and balanced. Or, MSNBC is trying to get people to pay attention to them, and possibly save them from becoming no better than a regional cable channel. It's pretty pathetic when YNN is doing a better job of covering politics than they are.
