Keith Olbermann: ‘Any Adults in Charge’ at MSNBC?

Even Keith Olbermann, the bellicose former host of MSNBC’s one-time signature show Countdown, can’t believe what’s happening at the network these days:

Responding to one reply, that the GOP “only likes freedom of speech when it applies to them…otherwise they CRY like babies,” Olbermann tweeted:

This all concerns Melissa Harris-Perry’s apology Tuesday morning for a Sunday segment in which panelists on her show mocked a Romney family photo over Mitt Romney’s adopted African-American grandson. The Harris-Perry flare-up comes on the heels of the Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin controversies, which resulted in both men leaving the network.

After a tumultuous tenure, Olbermann himself was abruptly fired from MSNBC in 2011; he would later part ways, acrimoniously, with Current TV.
