Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8379 Loc: West Duvall	Is this somehow diffrent ords than Fox donating $1,000,000 to the Republicans? Anyone with any brains at all knows neither Fox nor MSNBC are nonpartisan. So what? From the Yahoo artilce on the suspension. Olbermann, as well as MSNBC executives, was a vocal critic of the $1 million donation by Fox News' parent News Corp. to the Republican Governor's Association earlier this year, saying at the time, "We now have another million reasons Fox News is the Republican news channel." A News Corp. spokesman defended the donation when it was first reported in August. "News Corporation believes in the power of free markets, and the RGA's pro-business agenda supports our priorities at this most critical time for our economy," the spokesman said. _________________________ No huevos no pollo.

goharley River Nutrients Registered: 03/27/02 Posts: 3188 Loc: U.S. Army	If Olbermann owned MSNBC and made programming decisions, I'd say there was absolutely not difference, Dave. However, the more proper analogy, IMHO, is that of Juan Williams being fired from NPR for breaking ethics rules. Both are free speech arguments. What I'm waiting for now is O'Reilly, Palin, and the rest to come to Olbermann's defense in the same way they did Williams'. No, I won't hold my breath, but will add it to the long, long list of glaring hypocrisy. _________________________ Tent makers for Christie, 2016.

Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8379 Loc: West Duvall	Originally Posted By: Sol Duc Vedder must be his viewer.... Been fishing so couldn't respond. Fact is I never watch Oberman or the others at MSNBC for the same reason I don't watch Fox news. I like the news to at least make a pretense at fair and balanced. Agian - anyone who can't see that Fox and MSNBC are mirror images of each other just isn't paying attention. Thet are BOTH very partisan and neither present the news without bias. _________________________ No huevos no pollo.
