Re: Treasury Secretary Meets with Little-Watched Comedian

Could it have been the fact that he had one politician as a guest, and
immediately after the show he donated to her campaign?

I would agree if Olbermann was a news anchor.  But the talking heads shows are
not designed to be impartial-they are built around the host and their opinions.
 
MSNBC has some humdinger policies.  They do not allow their hosts to disagree
with each other if they are on different shows (in other words, neither
Olbermann nor Scarborough could voice disagreement with something the other said
on their shows-that rule was what was at the heart of the Donny Deutsch dust-up
earlier this year.
