You were honest about some of it, so you can keep the like...
I just don't understand how you can:
a) know that what they both did created a conflict of interest,
b) know what they both did was a breech of journalistic ethics.
c) see with your own 2 eyes that all three of the articles Media Matters linked to, compared the actions taken by MSNBC to Olbermann's breech of ethics, to the lack of action taken by ABC for the breech of ethics by Stephanopoulos.
d) be such a shill for those lying clowns at Media Matters and still claim that they were equating donations to the Clinton Foundation, to donations to a political campaign, like "a" "b" and "C" don't even exist.
Everyone knows, especially me, that you abandoned the truth and sacrificed your dignity long ago to serve your master... Politics... so expecting anything better from you was my a mistake on my part.
Well Grim I decided to check why Keith Olbermann was suspended indefinitely without pay. As it turns out it wasn't because of a conflict of interest, but rather it was because Olbermann donated to political campaigns. It was a direct violation of NBC rules. It was a breach of his contract with NBC News and he could have been fired for it.
Almost everyone says that George Stephanopoulous should have revealed his donation to the Clinton Foundation when he interviewed Peter Schweitzer, but the fact he didn't is nowhere at the same level as to what Olbermann did.
.NBC has a rule against employees contributing to political campaigns, and a wide range of news organizations prohibit political contributions — considering it a breach of journalistic independence to contribute to the candidates they cover.
