Morning Joe has been suspended for 2 days from MSNBC
Posted: Nov 21, 2010
because he also contributed to election campaigns. He will be back Wednesday.
I almost missed this as it was a teeny tiny paragraph in my local paper on the business news. So I looked and found a couple articles on it. So far, none of them listed any years, but my local paper stated they were made between 2004-2007.
Really, maybe MSNBC should just suspend everyone for 2 days and get it over quick.
'Morning Joe' can sleep in: Scarborough gets 2-day suspension
By Paul Farhi
Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, November 19, 2010; 8:18 PM
Now it's Joe Scarborough's turn to pay MSNBC's price for making undisclosed political contributions.
The cable news network slapped its "Morning Joe" host with a two-day suspension on Friday after he, too, was found to be in violation of a corporate policy. Political donations are forbidden for employees of MSNBC and NBC News, as Scarborough's on-air colleague, Keith Olbermann, found out two weeks ago when he was suspended for the same reason.
Scarborough confessed to violating the rule after Politico.com turned up five contributions of $500 each and MSNBC found three more that he'd made to candidates in local races in Florida over the past four years. Among others, Scarborough contributed to his brother, George Scarborough, who ran unsuccessfully for a seat in Florida's legislature in 2007, and to a candidate who had served as Scarborough's chief of staff in Washington when Scarborough was a Republican congressman from Florida.
Scarborough told MSNBC President Phil Griffin that he'd forgotten he'd donated the money to candidates Scarborough described in a statement as "close personal friends and family members." Griffin subsequently ordered Scarborough to sit out Monday and Tuesday's programs without pay, the same punishment the liberal Olbermann received.

Old news...happened days ago. - zzzzzzzzz

Not old news - I had not heard this. - Thanks BT for posting - are you sleepy with all those zzzzs as your monike
[ In Reply To ..]Instead of commenting that it's old news with the all those lovely little z's (which makes it look like your sleeping), why not post a comment about the actual story. Do you agree or disagree with the decision being made?
Newsflash...this is not old news. First time I've heard it. Besides there are topics being discussed here that happened weeks, if not months ago, what's wrong with posting this news story?
It is old to news to anyone who reads the news. - zzzzzzzzz
[ In Reply To ..]It is shocking to think that anyone gets their news from this forum.
No its not - and I never said I got my news from this forum - see message
[ In Reply To ..]It is not old news. You probably think that because you probably enjoy Morning Joe and don't think its right he was suspended for a wrong doing or that anyone should even bring it up.
I get my news sources from a lot of places. I have not heard it it yet.
Besides - there are topics being discussed here that are weeks to months old. So what's wrong with discussing this topic?
I think..... - tstone
[ In Reply To ..]the snoozer just doesn't like it when the left gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Here's my feeling about Morning Joe.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. He's like having a snooze button.
Very well said tstone - see message
[ In Reply To ..]Funny how they can be talking about Rush, Sarah Palin, or any other republican bash-n-trashin them for weeks on end about something that was done or said, but anything about the dems doing something wrong and it's all supposed to be hush hush and nobody is supposed to say anything.
Funny how there was all the prior outrage about Obermann - but you change the thread to Palin
[ In Reply To ..]when Scarborough, a Republican, gets suspended. Well, that is not really interesting, either, just the norm. . . zzzzzz.
I think you replied to the wrong person. - see message
[ In Reply To ..]I didn't change the thread to Palin. I mentioned a couple names. Anyway...you think Joe is a republican? I've heard him. He can say he is a pub all he wants. Guess he must be one of those far left pubs. His ideas and what he says doesn't really support pubs.
I think if any media person whether they are rush or olberman, o'reilly or matthews, etc, etc. if they do something wrong it should be news. These are the people we are supposed to get just the news from. Not their opinions.
I don't know whether you replied to the correct posting, but yes, scarborough is interesting, so is Olberman or any other news person that gets suspended for a wrong doing no matter what party they support.
You are 100% wrong! - zzzzzzzzz
[ In Reply To ..]Keith Olbermann and Joe Scarborough are political commentators, not journalists, just like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. They are supposed to give their opinions, not report the news.
You might now want to go pushing the "you are wrong and I am right " - They are your opinion - see message
[ In Reply To ..]Whether it's Olberman, O'Reilly, Mathews, Beck, Maddow, Hannity, etc, etc, etc.
These are the "channels" (i.e. Fox/MSNBC) people listen to to get their news (and CNN and other channels of course). Yes, of course the names mentioned are "political commentators". I get my news from Shep Smith, CNN headlines, my local news station, and websites for the news (i.e. weather, car chases, crime in American and what is going on around the world - hence the word "news").
I listen to the political commentators for what's going on in politics. Of course they have their opinions, but they owe it to the audiences who are watching them to tell the truth about issues. That's why I watch Fox over MSNBC, because Beck, O'Reilly, Bair, Greta, etc, will tell me the truth about someone or an issue going on in the political news. Unlike MSNBC who doesn't tell you the truth but spews their opinion and demonizes anyone not liberal. I've heard O'Reilly say before, well that's what's happening, but I don't agree with it. So...if they are doing something wrong to push who they want and influence voters to vote for who they want it IS wrong and it should be in the news whether they support the republican or democrats, because that means they are not giving the truth to the people who trust them to know what's going on in politics, they end up giving their "spin" on it.
Don't know how much simpler I can make it for you to understand.
Before you tell me I'm wrong you should realize that you are pushing your opinions as though they are correct. All you have to say is I disagree. Don't shoot back with "you are 100% wrong!" If you just want to start a fight go start it with someone else. What I post is my opinion and I do not believe I am wrong.
I see you go after certain monikers, so please go after someone else. I don't have time for your games and will not be replying to any of your snooze messages.
