I guess the main question is whether Keith O is a reporter. He might think he is, but when was the last time he was actually in the field reporting and lot leaving it to his producers? On the other hand, I was listening to Commie Radio, err Pacifica's California report on the way home from work tonight and Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe has apparently shoveled a few thousand bucks the GOP's way. Will this apply to him, too, or is MSNBC taking Keith out as a result of the election? It also occurs to me that Keith's historical shelf life on any given show has never been more than 5 years or so before he crosses the boss. Too bad Jonathan Larsen bailed on us. I assume as goes Keith, so goes Larsen. :( --Deb

I know of local reporters who are absolutely scrupulous when it comes to this. Why should we expect less from people at the national level. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Nov 5, 2010 4:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Olbermann suspended for political contributions Ok, I'm looking for others at this point...in this cycle only...I've seen Hannity giving money...are we really going to say that these partisan people (and both Hannity and Olbermann are certainly partisan) should be suspended and fired?

Obie broke one of the primary rules of J-School 101. I don't think a suspension is enough. -----Original Message----- >From: danny burstein <[email protected]> >On Fri, 5 Nov 2010, Kevin G.
