Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not a fan of Olbermann&#8217;s program by any means, but to punish him, for providing hints that he might be partisan???? Olbermann&#8230; Partisan&#8230;.  Nah! Anyway, here is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2010\/11\/07\/AR2010110703863.html?hpid=topnews\">NBC&#8217;s rationale<\/a> for suspending him. If you&#8217;re drinking coffee or milk, swallow first before you read this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Like many news organizations, including The Washington Post, NBC News prohibits its employees from making political contributions, a ban designed to prevent the appearance of partisanship by a news organization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>MSNBC, the home of Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Chris Mathews&#8230; Biased???  Nah. Couldn&#8217;t be. I&#8217;ll give nutral observer Rachel Maddow the final word:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let this incident lay to rest forever the facile, never-true-anyway, bull-pucky, lazy conflation of Fox News and what the rest of us do for a living,&#8221; she said on her program Friday. &#8220;Hosts on Fox News raise money for Republican candidates. They endorse them explicitly, they use their Fox News profile to headline fundraisers. . . . We are a news operation, and the rules around here are part of how you know that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>PS. Maybe, it could be said that FOX News policy is on the cutting edge &#8211; transparency and openness and all that. The U S government could take lessons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Laugh%20Of%20The%20Day%21%20Opinion%20-%20Uninterrupted%3B%20Olbermann%20unsuspended.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Golly, I do hope those two days off learned him a lesson!
