[QUOTE=ItchyBarracuda;25875792]Give it a rest. Unless of course you're going to delve into the political donations of all of the "unbiased" mainstream media outlets. And for the record, the Chamber of Commerce provides many great services, especially for small businesses. Not that you would care though, people taking personal responsibility, working hard to earn a living is not what you seem to support. Our dear leader should tell us what to do and will take care of us with portions from the public dole. For whatever reason, NBC decided it was not within their terms to allow someone to donate for a specific party for whatever reason. Why? No one knows, they haven't commented on it, but I suppose it doesn't bode well for their image if they want to appear legitimate and one of their news anchors specifically funds a political party.[/QUOTE] you preach it how it is itchy im sure someday your gumption will make their logic disappear
Imagine Colbert doing this exact same thing. Nobody would give a shit, other than noting that Colbert is a good guy. Same exact situation. Except Colbert is satirical, and Olbermann is 'serious'

MSNBC is the liberal answer to Fox News. Just more sane. I have no idea why they would do this.
Keith Olbermann is a douche, and my least favorite of the liberals on MSNBC (First is Rachel Maddow). He shouldn't have gotten fired from MSNBC though. Everyone knows MSNBC is liberal. Fox News has donated shit tons to the GOP for christs sake.
That sucks, I loved Olberman's show. Plus it's surprising, because I'm almost sure that most of MSNBC is biased as fuck.
No need to be almost sure. Watch Rachel Maddox, she's like the Fox News Anti-christ.

Though I agree with them on most things, they are admittedly really biased.

I found it hilarious when he was destroying a few Tea Party leaders like a week ago.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;25875310]Keith is the only anchorman I can actually stand and listen to for news. Everyone else is fucking batshit retarded and not worth acknowledging. At least in my opinion.[/QUOTE] I like Rachel Maddow better.
Aw, I liked 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann'.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;25876136]It's biased, just like Fox. And they should be allowed to be biased because of the first amendment. A lot of people can't seem to grasp that.[/QUOTE] MSNBC isn't nearly as biased as FOX. Keith didn't actually mention he made the donation on the show, so he wasn't even trying to influence his viewers. This is really just a kneejerk reaction from the network.

[QUOTE=SHoGuNNeR;25877790]Rachel Maddow[/QUOTE] rachel maddow kicks ass
[QUOTE=Lambeth;25873074]Besides that, Fox has a lot of potential 2012 republican candidates under it's payroll.[/QUOTE] who's to say that democrat media outlets don't have democrats under their payroll? repubs aren't the only evil.

[QUOTE=IStanI;25878850]People who call themselves a news source should not legally be allowed to taint with the story.[/QUOTE] Should ban all news sources then. Even if the stories aren't biased themselves there is always a selection bias.

Keith is pretty classless. Nothing of value lost.
You need to get approval from NBC to donate to a party? WTF? they are saying you can only donate to candidates they want? FUCK THAT, I'm turning off 30 Rock right now!
His eyebrows drive me wild.
