Keith Olbermann of MSNBC Takes Surprise Exit 1/24/2011

Keith Olbermann announces his final episode. Using obtuse language, burying the real cause of his exit, viewers are left to debate whether he was fired or quit.

[@budmoore7971]

Keith Olbermann was the BEST that MSNBC EVER HAD. He built the brand and they betrayed him. He is, in fact one of the FINEST orators that this country has ever produced.

Lol

Get off the fentanyl! 😂😂😂

[@jillystewart4963]

Watching the COUNTDOWN was a staple in my marriage, divorced for years, but occasionally we'll remember those glory days. Keith, keep up ALL your great works! Even that among us humans though your animal rescue efforts are indeed more important!

[@mljones655]

Keith is back with Countdown as a podcast!

[@skidawg22]

Writing this in September 2022: Olbermann recently started doing Countdown as a podcast.

[@ryancappo]

And he explained what really happened and named names on his podcast.

[@darthdionysus420]

Never should have happened. Bring Keith Back

[@elizabethkeenan7063]

Now most media outlets are as appalled at Republicans as kieth

[@parrisprice5892]

Keith is a better reporter/ journalist than all of fox, CNN, msnbc ,cbs,abc,NBC COMBINED

[@richardblock2458]

Ha! Did MSNBC ever watch Fox News?

[@ubcphysicsyangbo]

Whereas if someone did the same thing on Fox News or OAN, they would instead get a raise 😂

What happened to freedom of speech and also the freedom of the press?

[@marydoblander1368]

There isn't any...just idiots that censor anything they don't agree with or doesn't push their agenda of changing our country.

Oh yes he is...like Martians....LOL LOL

[@drawinglinebyline4318]

Keith Olbermann miss you ..

[@thomaspenoyer9711]

If you are fairly smart, and or educated, and or, religious minded? It's very hard today to be asked to live with so many visably apparent lies in our daily lives, that go unaddressed properly.

[@Brogel]

He was neither fired directly, nor did he quit directly. That might be why it is not to be deduced from this video what happened. Anyway, glad he's back on Current TV.

[@Layton798]

I am a great fan of Keith he just fighting for what he believes in towards injustice and for underdog as a Democrat.

[@marydoblander1368]

Now that's funny.....LOL LOL

[@Skank_hunt420_]

All journalists are like this today.

He is not a crony capitalist swill that will always say yes to the puppet masters for corporate profit. Unlike Rachael Maddow, bitch!

Are you referring to the current regime?

[@jondoh3418]

@@sheilagibson510 oh no... 😎 Trump will go down in history as a great president after all obsessed TDS'rs die away... when they finally look at his results...

[@K131399]

The staff said he was losing his mind and were afraid to be around him. Look at him now and you can see what they were talking about. The man has totally lost his mind.

[@averdibello]

... said the man that's a letter and six numbers. Get lost ... Ooops! Too late. I see that ship has sailed.

[@davidcovington901]

Your last 3 comments use the words "pathetic," "weirdo," and "fool." You lead with the insult and then stay fact-free. Like 8th grade playgrounds.

[@K131399]

@@davidcovington901 So to reflect, you're butthurt because I'm making light of the absolute trainwreck that is Keith Olberman?? Hmmmmmmm, so will you be featuring your self-immolation on a livestream like many of your fragile comrades when Trump gets back into office for his second term so we can properly honor him for personally overturning Roe? Ouch, as they say.........bahahahahahahahahaaaaa

[@changeibc9599]

Good. Maybe someone will remove him from public..Isn't that what he said about that SCOTUS Woman.

It's now 11 years later & the dude has totally, completely, utterly gone off the deep end. Total, complete, utter whack job.
