It might be a policy of NBC to require permission(?) of its news personalities before they do and it’s up to NBC on how they want to deal with him but it’s he cannot be judged by us. First of all he is not there to report news, he is there to comment and open dialog – anyone who watches his show knows his leanings (for better or worst). Fox itself gave a million dollars to the republicans and half their staff was touring the country stumping for candidates – let’s get real. NOT A STORY – I am sure CNN staff cares enough about the country to support candidates who they feel will do better for it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033550998172950614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-55247053785707739292010-11-05T20:29:32.544-05:002010-11-05T20:29:32.544-05:00Once can, of course, make the distinction that Olb...Once can, of course, make the distinction that Olbermann makes the claim that he is a journalist, not a commentator. Scarborough does not -- and was in fact hired to be a partisan commentator.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164118803445903585noreply@blogger.com
