...Keith Olbermann
MSNBC has been taking a lot of heat this week for its Liberal bias while covering the elections this Tuesday. One the host was Keith Olbermann, veteran news and sports anchor. Well now MSNBC has suspended Olbermann indefinitely without pay for his political contributions, donations, to 3 Democratic candidates; Arizona Reps. Gabrielle Giffords and Raul Grijalva and Senate hopeful Jack Conway. He donated the maximum individual donation to each candidate, $2,400. In the news business you are supposed to remain unbiased and neutral on all things, clearly he failed. Olberman has in the past criticized News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch for 
donating money to the Republican party, and now he has been caught doing the same. Olbermann claims to have not donated money to anyone or party before nor has he encouraged anyone else to do so on his show. I guess he will have a month or so to think about what he has done. MSNBC may or may not fire him, I doubt it though. He is one of their main prime-time attractions, although his rating are still below par. I am giving Olbermann a Digit Down for his obviously stupid move and for becoming his own Worst Person in the World.
