CBS CEO Les Moonves donated $5,000 to Sen.-elect Roy Blunt's political action committee just days before the election, according to a recent report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The State Column notes that Blunt's PAC, Rely on Your Beliefs, contributed $5,000 to California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina two days later. Republican Senate candidates Dino Rossi, Ken Buck and Pat Toomey also received contributions from the PAC.
MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Joe Scarborough were both suspended last month after it was revealed they had donated to political candidates, thereby violating the network's policy.
However, the language of NBC's policy leaves open the possibility that they would have been in compliance had they sought permission from their superiors first.
