I'm not sure why anyone would be happy about this. I don't think a corporation should have the right to have a policy that restricts someones' ability to privately donate to a political candidate. I can understand policies about public endorsements, about overt bias, about attacking politicians -- but I can't understand a policy restricting the right of private donations. I can't imagine conservatives would support such a policy, or such a consequence of a policy. It truly seems Orwellian, but unlike in "1984", it's a reality: we live in a corporate controlled world. So yeah, I don't get the jubilation. I'm not commenting on MSNBC's "right" to suspend him, because they clearly have that right from a policy perspective, but I certainly find it troubling.

For disclosure purposes, I don't watch him. Like all of the talking heads with the exception, for me, of Anderson Cooper, I find him fairly obnoxious.
