After a month that saw two MSNBC hosts leave the channel following incendiary remarks and another apologize for a heavily criticized segment, Keith Olbermann can't help but wonder who's in charge at his former employer.
-
Olbermann was reacting Tuesday to an apology from MSNBC commentator Melissa Harris-Perry over a segment that mocked Mitt Romney's adopted black grandson, Kieran.
-
"Any adults in charge over there?" Olbermann tweeted.
-
When one of his Twitter followers argued that the "GOP only likes freedom of speech when it applies to them," Olbermann, who became a hero to liberals and an enemy to conservatives during his time at MSNBC, stood by his criticism.
-
"Not the point. You can have your standards, or their standards," he responded.
