This is completely out of balance.
Keith is supposed to be a liberal commentator. He SHOULD donate to liberal candidates. That should be a required part of his job.
There are just too many uncomfortable things about this.
Allowing Scarborough to donate to political candidates because he is ostensibly "opinion" but Keith is not?
Banning Markos Moulitsas from MSNBC because he offended Joe Scarborough?
Announcing the suspension right after the election? Suspicious timing. Although it could be simply that they just happened to find out now. But, I think there is something more insidious about the timing. Is it possible that they didn't want Keith's legions of fans to find out and donate to the same candidates? That's what I would have done. I would have been fired up beyond belief.
No, this situation is completely out of balance.
My opinion, in case Keith is reading this ... Quit. Apply for Bill Moyers's job at PBS. Keith Olbermann's Journal. This has a nice ring to it. Pay cut, to be sure, but probably more freedom.
And a very nice in your face to NBC.

Keith, we are outraged.
