MC: Olbermann Partisan? Who Knew?
According to Politico, Olbermann’s crime was that NBC News
“policies and standards” requires that its on-air personalities avoid
“potential conflicts” that could compromise their status as “impartial
journalists.” Don’t laugh. That’s what it actually says. And even if Olbermann did make donations to left-wing
Democrats, how could that possibly run afoul of NBC’s supposed
journalistic ethics? By law, donations to candidates are limited to
$2,400 per election cycle. I don’t know how much MSNBC charges for
advertising on its network, but I’m confident that it’s considerably
more than $7,200 per minute. And considering that MSNBC is nothing but a
24-hour-a-day, seven-day-per-week, 52-week-per-year disinfomercial for
the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party already, Olbermann’s
donation would scarcely purchase more than a few pixels of the in-kind
donation that MSNBC already provides to the far left/
