Another day, another perfectly sane and rational reaction from Keith Olbermann.
(Sarcasm intended.)
Less than two weeks after Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered by a radical leftist, ol' Keith figured now would be a good time to smooth things over by threatening another conservative media personality. But, as reported by the New York Post, this isn't unusual territory for Olbermann:
Olbermann faced criticism last week for his reaction to ABC affiliate Sinclair's decision to air a remembrance for Kirk over Kimmel's show, an announcement made before the comedian was suspended.
Olbermann's lovely social media post that time:
Yeah. He's a real peach of a guy.
Olbermann was doing a victory lap on Monday (while threatening Scott Jennings's life) over ABC's announcement that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be back on the air.
Kimmel's show will return Tuesday after he negotiated with Bob Iger, Walt Disney Co. CEO, and Disney Entertainment Co-Chair Dana Walden — and the host will address the Kirk controversy in his opening remarks — but not apologize, sources told The Post.
Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns dozens of ABC affiliates, demanded the comedian apologize to Kirk's family and pledge a donation to Turning Point USA, the activist group the 31-year-old father of two founded.
After ABC announced the show's return, Sinclair Broadcasting responded with an announcement of its own that the program would be preempted by alternate programming on all Sinclair stations.
Can't wait to see Keith's completely rational and level-headed reaction to that.
