MSNBC Criticized After Suspending Scarborough
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News
(Nov. 19) -- When MSNBC suspended Keith Olbermann for political contributions, fans of the "Countdown" host pointed to fellow MSNBC personality Joe Scarborough's similar donations. Apparently, what's good for Olbermann is now good for the "Morning Joe" host, as well. Network executives suspended Scarborough on Friday, citing eight $500 political campaign contributions, according to Politico. Although some critics (see below) perceive the suspension as a PR vacation, Scarborough will reportedly be unpaid during his absence. "I recognize that I have a responsibility to honor the guidelines ...

Hours later, his supposed interim replacement, Chris Hayes, was yanked from the show as well, but ...

Remy de la Mauviniere, AP French President Nicolas Sarkozy denied on Tuesday that L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, ...

By David Sessions - Politics DailyOn Thursday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) blocked a bill that would have raised oil companies' "responsibility cap" -- the maximum amount in damages companies must pay for their accidents -- from $75 million to $10 billion. On Friday, Murkowski's office was rebutting critics who were asking whether her opposition to the measure had anything to do with the fact she is a major supporter of offshore drilling who has received $426,989 in campaign donations from the oil and gas industry over her eight-year Senate career. Murkowski is the top Republican on the Energy and Natural Resources ...
