The famously feisty MSNBC anchor got caught donating to Democrats—and was suspended by his boss. Howard Kurtz on the liberal talking head's hypocrisy—and why it's not as bad as Fox News.

So is Keith Olbermann now the Worst Person in the World?

No, but he made a really dumb mistake.

By donating to three Democratic candidates while covering the midterms on MSNBC, Olbermann crossed a bright journalistic line—even for a commentator whose partisan sympathies are no secret.

Now Olbermann, who's not shy about caustic criticism, faces the inevitable charge of hypocrisy.http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-11-05/keith-olbermann-suspended-by-msnbc-the-hypocrisy-of-his-campaign-donations/?cid=hp%3Amainpromo1

coverage every once in a while, which makes him a journalist and not an opinion show host.

I mean, I guess that's technically true. But that really is using a technicality to get around the main point: that Keith Olbermann is an opinion show host, and he makes no claims of being objective to both sides.
