I think a news company should have rights over their employee's about how they are perceived in the public and anytime a person of popularity makes three donations to any one political party, it will become public. Is it right for the newscaster? no, but his perception as a newscaster will have less value. Keith was a commentator, so I see no reason for all this
No employer, corporation or any other entity should have any kind of control over the political expression of employees. Now if the entity involved doesn't like what the employee expresses, that entity can fire them and should then experience the lawsuit for deprivation of Civil Rights; the First Amendment.
