MSNBC has suspended prime-time host Keith Olbermann indefinitely without pay for making political contributions. Politico reported Friday that Olbermann contributed to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates this fall, including one on the same day he appeared on Olbermann's "Countdown" program. He was one of the network's anchors for election day coverage this week. President of MSNBC Phil Griffin released this response:
I became aware of Keith’s political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.
This clip from "Countdown" where Keith Olbermann blasts Fox News for being the "fundraising arm of the GOP" aired late last month.
