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/ Mike Costello , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Which media entity is more balanced & fair — MSNBC or Fox News?
