This is why MSNBC consistently leans forward from behind in cable news ratings. This is also why I found it ludicrous when the network briefly suspended Keith Olbermann after — shockers! — discovering that he donated to … DEMOCRATS! That apparently was a bigger threat to his “objectivity” than Olbermann himself compromising it every single night with stunts like calling conservative women “mashed up bag[s] of meat with lipstick.”
It’s one thing to attend or emcee rallies in your own personal time, as Schultz has done. I don’t have a problem with anyone expressing their free speech, in which I include campaign donations. Just don’t pretend that you’re bipartisan when you return to the air and deliver irrevocably partisan coverage of an election, like Schultz (and every other MSNBC host, including Mr. Resist We Much) did last night:
I halfway expected a producer to toss Schults some pom poms from off set. It was interesting to watch the crowd turn from rah rah! to fraud! the moment the elections took a turn they didn’t like. I guess they don’t like what democracy looks like?
