Rachel Maddow on the suspension of Keith Olbermann

Rachel Maddow notes that the NBC News rules forbidding political contributions are part of what distinguishes msnbc from Fox News, whose on-air personalities regularly contribute to political campaigns.

@biggerflexible Noone has attempted to make the point you are trying to counter.

I don't buy that MSNBC is different than fox news because of not allowing contributions. Free advertisement and favorable coverage are just as useful as money to someone campaigning. Hannity uses his position to help conservatives and Olbermann uses his to help liberals, financial or otherwise. Viewers know this. This really just goes to show how passionate Hannity and Olbermann are about their opinions. It's not a contest to see who can help out the most without without looking like it.
