Liberal Heartache: Ed Schultz Suspended for One Week for Calling Laura Ingraham a ‘Right-Wing Slut’


If MSNBC had any sense of decency, they would fire Ed Schultz for good.
(Politico)- MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz, host of the “The Ed Show,” for one week without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his syndicated radio program Tuesday.

“Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” MSNBC said in a statement.

MSNBC said Schultz will address the remarks on his show Wednesday night, and begin his leave immediately afterward. He will return on June 6th.

“MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program,” MSNBC said.

Liberal Heartache: MSNBC suspends Olbermann


Keith Olbermann has been indefinitely suspended by MSNBC for making campaign donations to Democrats in violation of network policy. I am shocked. The shock isn't from finding out Olbermann would donate money to Democrats. The shock is from leaning MSNBC has a policy against it.

NEW YORK – MSNBC has suspended prime-time host Keith Olbermann indefinitely without pay for contributing to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates this election season.

Olbermann acknowledged to NBC that he donated $2,400 apiece to the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grivalva and Gabrielle Giffords.
