And Now for Another MSNBC Suspension
Perhaps it was in the name of being fair and balanced, but whatever the reason, MSNBC brass decided to give "Morning Joe" anchor Joe Scarborough the Keith Olbermann treatment for making campaign contributions -- but in this case to Republican candidates.

TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Wrap:
Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough has been suspended by MSNBC without pay for making $4,000 worth of politcal donations without the company’s consent, a violation of NBC News policy.
The suspension — like the the one “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann got earlier this month for the same violation — will be for two days, MSNBC said.
And, just like Olbermann, it was Politico that uncovered the donations that sacked Scarborough. (Interestingly, Scarborough contributed an essay to Politico.com on Thursday — a “Survival Guide” for the Congressional Class of 2010.)
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.

According to court documents, targets included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and more.
The pointed, 30-second clip claims that they don't allow the president to do his job.
The Republican presidential nominee is not going to change. No matter how many times he reshuffles his campaign, he is who he is. It's delusional to pretend otherwise.
The nativist candidate—a self-declared "neutral guy"—refuses to toe the pro-Israel lines of the U.S. and the GOP. His wayward stand may not be much, but it's the only sparkle of light that any presidential candidate is offering on the intractable issue.
