Repeatedly fired former sportscaster Keith Olbermann claimed Wednesday that ESPN forced him to give him an interview with Joe Biden, claiming the content was completely prewritten by his boss, Sage Steele attacked Mr.
Earlier this week, Steele pointed out that Disney-owned ESPN not only wrote out all the questions to ask Biden in his interview, but also prohibited him from asking any follow-up questions to the president.
“In those words. Every question was scripted and reviewed dozens of times by many editors and executives. Absolutely. I was following the script and was told not to deviate. ” Steele said. “It was just, ‘Here’s what you ask.’ You’re going to say, ‘Follow, no follow. Next.’ , I went up to the fourth floor where the decision makers were, our president, our CEO, and that’s where everyone worked.”
However, far-leftist Keith Olbermann was not satisfied with any of this. fox news.
In fact, Mr. Olbermann criticized Mr. Steele, not his boss at ESPN, for defending Biden. As usual, he stooped to swearing.
“Of course it was scripted,” Olbermann wrote on X. “If it wasn’t for @sagesteele (the stupidest person I’ve ever worked with in the sports and news industry), we wouldn’t have gotten through this incident.”
In a follow-up, Mr. Olbermann defended ESPN, saying he was simply trying to “protect” it.
