As expected, Keith Olberman was all over it.>
Are U kidding?....he is the biggest joke in the broadcasting industry, no credibility what so ever..........
Leaving ESPN
In 1997, Olbermann abruptly left ESPN under a cloud of controversy, apparently burning his bridges with the network's management.[6] This began a long and drawn out feud between Olbermann and ESPN. During the time between 1997 and 2007 incidents between the two sides included Olbermann publishing an essay on Salon.com in November of 2002 entitled "Mea Culpa" in which he conceded that his own insecurities and neurotic behavior had led to many of his problems at work.[7] In the essay, it imparted an instance of where his former bosses remarked he had "too much backbone," which actually hit on a literal truth. Olbermann has six lumbar vertebrae instead of the normal five.[7] In 2004 ESPN famously snubbed him from the guest lineup of its 25th Anniversary SportsCenter "Reunion Week," which saw the likes of personalities such as Craig Kilborn and Charley Steiner return to the SportsCenter set. In 2007, ten years after Olbermann's departure, in an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, he said "If you burn a bridge, you can possibly build a new bridge, but if there's no river any more, that's a lot of trouble."[8] During the same interview, Olbermann stated that he recently learned that as a result of ESPN agreeing to let him back on the airwaves, he was banned from ESPN's main Bristol, Connecticut campus.[8]
Check this 1 out, talk about MSNBC, lol>
When the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke in 1998, the show morphed into White House in Crisis. Olbermann became frustrated as his show was consumed by the Lewinsky story. In 1998, he stated that his work at MSNBC would "make me ashamed, make me depressed, make me cry."[6] |
