Wait, didn’t Rachel Maddow assure us on Friday that, unlike those mercenary wingnuts at Fox News who let Republican guests pitch donation URLs on the air, MSNBC is “not a political operation”? Six full minutes of fact-checkin’ fun here via Johnny Dollar, who not only spent hours piecing this lowlight reel together but has an accompanying post delving further into the hypocrisy. Somehow, Hannity and Palin raising money for conservatives is qualitatively different from Ed Schultz and Harold Ford doing the same for liberals. Which, I guess, is true: When Hannity and Palin push their side, they’re playing politics, whereas when Schultz and Ford push theirs, they’re making news. Please do take time to read his post and watch the clip; I promise, you’ll enjoy every minute.
As for the return of the modern-day Murrow to his perch atop Serious Newsman Mountain, this is simply too good not to be true:
“Keith is furious about the way this has all been handled and insisted that MSNBC bosses apologize to him before he would agree to return,” a network insider tells me. “Keith sees himself as the star of MSNBC, the person who put them on the map and discovered fellow network anchors Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell. To be treated like this by the network he helped shape, he considers disgusting.”…
“Keith clearly won this battle. Not only has he got the bosses to say sorry, but he’s also got the company to review its ethic rules,” a friend of Keith’s tells me. “You watch — his rating on Tuesday when he returns will be bigger than ever, giving him even more power at MSNBC.”
Jeff Bercovici at Forbes declares that this cements Olby’s status as the most powerful man at MSNBC, the thought of which seems to have Ace feeling depressed but which makes me perfectly happy. Remember, this is a guy whose buffoonery is such that even some JournoListers are left cringing at it. MSNBC’s hyperpartisan election night coverage was straight out of the Olby playbook, and predictably so alienating to everyone except far-left liberals that more than one TV critic acknowledged with teeth gnashed that Fox’s coverage was more balanced. Why wouldn’t you want him in charge? They should make him program director and give him extra airtime so that he doesn’t have to pare down his lists of who’s worse than Al Qaeda due to time constraints. And besides, as I said on Friday, his suspension was stupid to begin with. All’s well that ends well!
Olbermann Suspended Without Pay From MSNBC After Making Political Donations To Democrats
Today, Politico reported that MSNBC host Keith Olbermann made political contributions to three Democratic candidates — Kentucky senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona House members Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. Following the story, MSNBC President Phil Griffin released a statement this afternoon stating that Olbermann has been suspended without pay:
I became aware of Keith’s political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.
MSNBC’s policies governing its employees states:
Anyone working for NBC News who takes part in civic or other outside activities may find that these activities jeopardize his or her standing as an impartial journalist because they may create the appearance of a conflict of interest. Such activities may include participation in or contributions to political campaigns or groups that espouse controversial positions. You should report any such potential conflicts in advance to, and obtain prior approval of, the President of NBC News or his designee.
It’s unclear what harm Griffin determined resulted from Olbermann’s contributions. Politico noted that Olbermann donated to Grijalva on the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on his show. In his defense Olbermann said, “I did not privately or publicly encourage anyone else to donate to these campaigns, nor to any others in this election or any previous ones, nor have I previously donated to any political campaign at any level.”
Atrios reports that Pat Buchanan, a very frequent guest on MSNBC and an official contributor, has also made a number of donations to Republican candidates.
Meanwhile, Steve Benen observes that, while Olbermann made his donations in a personal capacity, News Corp. — Fox News’ parent company — “made multiple undisclosed donations to the Republican Governors Association, totaling at least $1.25 million, in addition to a $1 million contribution to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its pro-Republican election-year activities. Fox News has helped GOP candidates raise money on the air; Fox News personalities are featured guests at Republican fundraisers; while other Fox News personalities continue to help generate financial support for Republican candidates now, even after the elections.”

Make money doing what you love if you are a writer by writing for Elance. And you won't just make money; you will make more money by writing for Elance than some of the other online writing sites. So if your goal is to make money writing, Elance lets you try their services for free--every month.
How Can I Make More Money at Elance?
Making more money at Elance is easy. Unlike online writing sites like Demand Studios, Bright Hub or Helium, you don't have to apply to write for Elance. So you don't have to suffer a bruised ego experience just to try them.
You just sign up for their basic, no cost, service and receive the ability to apply for three jobs a month. They call it "bidding" and you have to use the "connection" points they give you to do it, but it is like using play money. You bid a job, which takes one or more of your connection points (which they have given you anyway), and you are either awarded the job or someone else gets it.
How Does It Work?
After you search the many job opportunities at Elance you pick the ones you want to "bid" on. You place your bid and then wait to hear back whether you were awarded the job or not. If you are, you begin the process of completing the assignment. After the assignment is done, you either invoice the client (or if you are like me, since I always use their escrow payment process) you just send the request for your money.
Things to Know While Trying to Make More Money
Just like with any writing site where you are selling your writing services, you need to take precautions not to get "ripped off" and Elance is no exception. When you began looking for jobs at Elance you might want to stipulate that you won't accept any assignment from a client unless it is Escrow paid.
Requiring escrow protects you from anyone trying to get your work for free. Elance acts as the mediator--reading over the agreement both the client and provider (writer) agreed to before the assignment was awarded and they determine who is in the wrong and if you should be paid or not, if there are any disagreements.
And if they say the client is in the wrong, the client can't "stiff you" for the fee, because it is sitting in Elance's escrow account just waiting for you.
You can even refuse to take a job unless they pay you half up front if you want. But that will limit how many jobs you get offered too.
Make More Money: Diversify Your Talent
So what are you waiting for? Put your talent to work and make the most money you can from your writing career by writing for lots of companies. Check out Elance and take the plunge. They offer many different types of writing assignments: article writing, blog writing, business writing, etc.
And the best thing about Elance is that the sky is truly the limit in how much you can make there!
