Olbermann Out at ESPN

Keith Olbermann is leaving ESPN…..again.

This time Olbermann says it is on much better terms than the last time.

Olbermann, the one-time host at MSNBC says that he is going back to talking about politics, something he said he was done with.

“As good as the hands-on reporting is, as good as they are at ferreting out and describing what’s wrong, I see the cable and broadcast networks still hesitant to say, ‘That’s a lie’ or, ‘This is disloyal to the Constitution’ or, ‘This is an attempt to establish the preface to a dictatorship — or at least authoritarianism,’” Olbermann told the Washington Post. “I think it’s fair to say that conservatives in politics and media know a little bit better what to bring to a knife fight. Liberals — and I’m hearing it from Joe Biden — say, ‘Well, there are Republicans we can work with,’ and I’m like, ‘I can’t hear you; I’m getting the flamethrower ready.’ I’m going to bring the flamethrower.”

Olbermann has emailed FTVLive in the past, taking issue with what we wrote about him. We took him to task a number of times over the years, but honestly, we missed him when he was gone.

It’s good to have you back Keith!
