10. Also, when did MSNBC think that this was not a Liberal/Progressive show?
Since they probably have at least a 3rd grade education, they probably knew that. So why act all indignant that Olbermann sided with Democrats during the election?
to donate to a guy without disclosing it and have the same guy on his show to promote him some more the same day. MSNBC is trying to maintain some integrity here. Keith fucked up not MSNBC. How anyone can not see what he did as anything other than piss poor journalism is beyond me. Maybe if he had disclosed during the interview that he had donated i would see it differently but without that it reeks of conflict of interest to me even if it is one of our guys. Rachel would never do what Kieth did.
He should have expected this result. No national news media wants to admit they have bias. We all know they do but they want to maintain that illusion and if kieth thinks they are gonna just let that go cause he is big man on campus he is deluding himself.
I agree that the rulling does sort of put it in another perspective but the fact that he is a "journalist" makes me think that ethics still apply. I have no issue with the donations but I do think disclosure is important. The citizens ruling was wrong and what kieth did was wrong. Disclosure is important IMHO.
