NBC suspends Olbermann for donations

The Principle is not amused.

NBC suspends Olbermann for donations - Washington Times:

"Olbermann acknowledged to NBC that he donated $2,400 apiece to the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grivalva and Gabrielle Giffords.

NBC News prohibits its employees from working on, or donating to, political campaigns unless a special exception is granted by the news division president — effectively a ban. Olbermann's bosses did not find out about the donations until after they were made. The website Politico first reported the donations.

'I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night,' Phil Griffin, MSNBC's chief executive, said Friday. 'Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.'

Olbermann was not immediately available for comment.

His 'Countdown' show, which airs at 8 p.m. ET, is MSNBC's most popular program. His on-the-air transformation from the host of a straight news program to a liberal commentator led the network itself to go in the same direction, filling its prime-time lineup with left-leaning hosts and doing better in the ratings than anytime since its 1996 launch."

I do not see the problem.  His whole show is an ad for liberal candidates and a platform for lies against anybody who is not a liberal as he likes.

Islam vs. Other Religions at Ground Zero, NYC and the MSM

Following up on Suki's earlier post: The Greenroom God and Man at Ground Zero

Notice anything interesting about the following links? They are the top ones from a Google News search for St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, Manhattan:

Leading article: Mr Obama stands up for tolerance

(mainstream UK news, does not mention the Church at all)

Mosque Moves Forward, Yet Church in Limbo

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which once sat right across the street from the World Trade Center, was crushed under the weight of the collapse of Tower Two on September 11, 2001. St. Nicholas was the only church to be lost in the attacks, and nine years later, while City of New York officials are busy removing every impediment to the building of the Cordoba mosque two blocks from the site, St. Nicholas’ future remains unclear.

Human Events is not that mainstream.

God and Man at Ground Zero

The one Suki blogged and Hot Air is not exactly mainstream either.

Church Near Ground Zero Asking For Attention

Here we go, MyFOX is a little closer.

Up at the top, the paid news links, a Washington Post article comes up, by accident, because a blog commentator mentions the St. Nicholas Church that was destroyed by Muslims in Europe. Interesting parallel to the one destroyed by jihadists Muslims in Manhattan.

Here is the scoop. The arrogant controllers of power in New York City have been preventing the reconstruction of the Saint Nicholas Church for almost ten years.  As soon as a questionable imam wants to put a "cultural center" within stoning distance of Ground Zero, every zoning obstacle is removed and they get the green light. Then Obama sends the questionable imam on a federal paid world tour to raise an additional $100 million for the project.

The Greek Orthodox project, on the other hand, already has pledges and donations from around the world and are ready to build, as soon as they get permission from Big Brother.

Too bad, in the eyes of Big Brothers Bloomberg and Obama, "zoning fairness" means Muslims first, at government expense.
