On November 5, 2010, MSNBC President Phil Griffin suspended Keith Olbermann indefinitely without pay for having contributed $2,400 (the maximum personal donation limit) to each of three Democratic Party candidates during the 2010 midterm election cycle.<ref name="aujla">{{Cite news |last=Aujla |first=Simmi |date=November 5, 2010 |title=Keith Olbermann suspended after donating to Democrats |work=[[Politico]] |url=http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/44734.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101106123419/http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/44734.html |archive-date=November 6, 2010}}</ref> NBC News policy prohibited contributions to political campaigns unless NBC News had given its prior permission.

Two weeks later, Griffin announced the suspension of [[Joe Scarborough]] for similar misconduct. The ''Morning Joe'' host had donated $4,000 to Republican candidates in Florida. Like Olbermann's suspension, Scarborough's was brief, and he returned to the airwaves on November 24.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schechner |first=Sam |date=November 19, 2010 |title=MSNBC Suspends 'Morning Joe' Host Scarborough for Political Donations |work=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |url=https://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/11/19/msnbc-suspends-morning-joe-host-scarborough-for-political-donations |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170916151846/https://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/11/19/msnbc-suspends-morning-joe-host-scarborough-for-political-donations |archive-date=September 16, 2017}}</ref>
