Olbermann has the highest-rated show on the network and signed a four-year contract in late 2008, specifically to keep him on board through the 2012 presidential election cycle, according to company announcements at the time.

More analysis shows that Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan both donated to Republican candidates this election cycle, ostensibly in violation of the same prohibition that got Olbermann suspended.

Sean Hannity also contributed to specific Republican candidates that he covered in this year's elections, but Fox News says they have no policy against such a thing.
