BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Former ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann took a swipe at Sage Steele on social media after Steele revealed her 2021 interview with President Biden was “scripted” by network executives.
“Of COURSE it was scripted. If it hadn’t have been @sagesteele – the dumbest person I’ve ever worked with in sports or news – couldn’t have gotten through it,” Olbermann wrote.
“I mean Jesus, if this happened to you, you’d just assume it WASN’T being done to protect the network from you humiliating it – and yourself?” Olbermann wrote. “At ESPN, we had a certain protocol on how to deal with Black people that were conservatives or republicans. And I should know, because I helped write the rules!”
