Um, there is no controversy. Olbermann broke a company rule and was suspended for it.
I agree with Jon Stewart: "It's a stupid rule, but at least it was enforced poorly."
The company policy that Olbermann broke was to make a political contribution without asking for permission first -- which was NOT in Olbermann's contract. Simply, MSNBC wants its employees to give up their right as a U.S. citizen.
I think MSNBC now understand how stupid the rule is -- hence, the whopping two-day suspension. MSNBC is Entertainment, and Olbermann is an Entertainer. I happen to like Olbermann's smug cynical style -- as opposed to the overblown pomposity on the other channels.
And what is your company's policy regarding political contributions? Do not know, do you?
