Like everyone on the planet didn't already know this guy was so far left anyway. Oh no Olbermann is a Democrat!?! say it ain't so!

normally I'd agree with you, but in this case I don't for two reasons.

1. he didn't get drafted into working in TV. he chose the job and knew the score and most importantly, he signed the contract. had he wanted to freely make donations he should have chosen a different line of work.

2. he's a pompous liar and I find no sadness in bad things happening to him. he's never shown a shred of impartiality and now it's bit him in the ass.
