#1 MSNBC has an ethics policy??

Well, they need to fire their entire staff then. 10-1 they all donated to the dhimocrats.

#4 Bathtub Boy gets paid almost as much as O'Reilly, and has (maybe) 1/3, probably more like 1/4 of the audience.

He was just dumb enough to give them an excuse to get out of that contract.

#6 Well.

I hate to go against the grain, but I don't have a problem with journalists making donations to political candidates.

Particularly 'journalists'. Particularly those who's job is to spew and spout, spit phlegm and bile, and pound his tiny fists on the desk in rage while screaming red-faced into a camera.

All to make more money and with more job security than he ever had covering the NFL.

It's not like I didn't already know who Keef favored.

Besides, if NBC really had an ethics policy, MS-NBC would have been stillborn.

#7 I can picture him in a year, as the guy the bartender detests, because he is always cursing while nursing a tall straight Irish whiskey all night, never leaves until close, pisses off all the other customers, and never, ever tips.

And when he goes into the john, he is so constipated that his groans sounds like the undead are living in there, and his bms have to be cut with a coat hangar to flush.

#9 I think it's lousy news, myself. Lets them pretend they're unbiased and principled.

#10 I annoy my lefty friends by calling it "leftwing Fox". Everyone knows what they are.

Free Olbermann!

#11 He's an opinion guy not news. They really should mark the Editorial shows as such and have different ethics standards.

#12 But he likely signed a hiring code of conduct document and knew it was a violation, and yes, most people don't read all the fine print, but obies the type that would so IMO he's deserves what he has coming.
