Brent Bozell Reacts to Keith Olbermann's Suspension from MSNBC

MRC President Brent Bozell issued the following statement in reaction to news that MSNBC had suspended Countdown host Keith Olbermann "indefinitely" for donating to three Democratic candidates in violation of NBC's policy.

In October, Olbermann had blasted political donations from Fox News owner News Corp, slamming Fox as "a media outlet that has now put its money where everybody has known its mouth has always been." (Video at right)

"Keith Olbermann is officially the Worst Hypocrite in the World. He rails about a 'national cable news outlet' that 'starts to donate to partisan groups of one party,' then does exactly that.

"But it begs a bigger questions: why did it take NBC so long? This man has been using his perch as a newsman at MSNBC to promote a radical left-wing and hate-filled agenda for years. And they fire him over three contributions? NBC needs to review its own policies."
