Cool, NBC's mere slap on the wrist for an anchor who gave thousands to Democratic candidates simply confirms that one of our major news organizations has made a partisan choice. Lord knows we need a counterpoint to the Republican political operation that is Fox News, which now is set upon asserting subpoena power. Biased news is the new normal, and NBC has joined the crowd.

Why do I find that hard to believe?
SOB.
Nobody ever claimed that Keith was some sort of impartial news reader.
And on the flip side, to those who believe that news anchors and other journalists should not make political contributions, I find it interesting how you think barring them making private donations to political candidates that they agree with would somehow enforce some sort of objectivity to the news.
News flash...people have political opinions regardless of their forum. I would have no problem with Keith contributing to a campaign because he is not pushed as some impartial person. I also woudl not have a problem with a Brian Williams or an Andrea Mitchell or a Megyn Kelly or anyone else from donating. The only problem I have is when the supposed impartial readers of the news (i.e. not political commentators) aren't able to separate their personal opinions and biases from the news that they are presenting to you and me. Stopping them from making private donations isn't going to suddenly make people who give their biased opinions in place of news cease their inability to be unbiased in their delivery.

The difference between them and the Fox editorialists is that Fox does it all day long and Fox makes up its own facts.
For quality and attempts to remain truthful, Fox cannot compete.
SOB.
Countdown is not a news program. It's an opinion program. Maybe you were confused about which side KO was on, but I wasn't.
