MSNBC has suspended "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough for the same violation that took Keith Olbermann off the air earlier this month.
In a statement, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said he has suspended Scarborough for making political donations to candidates in Florida without seeking prior approval:..

Joe Scarborough Suspended From MSNBC Over Political Donations

I am starting to wonder if this is how one gets two days of vacation time at MSNBC!

This silly rule needs to be suspended. I'd also like to know how much NBC contributed, as a corporation, and to whom and if they got prior approval

MSNBC’s Owner GE Made Over $2 Million in Political Donations in 2010

While Keith Olbermann’s donations became front-page news, little attention has been paid to the massive amount of political spending by MSNBC’s parent company General Electric, one of the nation’s largest military contractors. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting reports GE made over $2 million in political contributions in the 2010 election cycle. The top recipient was Republican Senate candidate Rob Portman from Ohio. The company has also spent $32 million on lobbying this year and contributed over $1 million to campaign against a California ballot initiative aimed at eliminating tax loopholes for major corporations.

Hell, forget how much NBC contributed. I want to know how much Phil Griffin donated, and whether or not he got "prior approval". Actually, he probably didn't get approval, got himself suspended for a few days, and now is on a witch hunt, to make sure that everyone suffers like he did.

I didn't say it made any sense, but sometimes when people are put in a desperate position they will do senseless things.

Is there some evidence that MSNBC is not a successful enterprise?
