Keith Olbermann’s departure from MSNBC was anything but amicable and the current ESPN host dished out another insult for the struggling news network.
The active Twitter user was asked by a follower if he ever watches MSNBC and enjoys laughing at the “hot mess” it has become. Olbermann replied that he actually doesn’t watch it.
“It's like watching friends in a crashing car w/a drunk driver,” Olbermann wrote.
No. It's like watching friends in a crashing car w/a drunk driver RT @Brian8473 Do you ever look at the hot mess that is @msnbc and giggle?

Olbermann recently told Talking Points Memo that he hasn’t watched MSNBC since 2009, even though he remained with the network through 2011, notes The Hollywood Reporter. Olbermann had hosted Countdown, but left for a Current TV show. He only lasted less than a year there before adding another acrimonious parting to his resume.
When asked about an incident on Morning Joe, Olbermann told TPM in February, “I don't know anything about this as I've never watched [Joe] Scarborough's shows and I stopped watching MSNBC in 2009.”
Olbermann returned to ESPN to host a self-titled late night show on sports on ESPN2. He also contributes to TBS for its MLB postseason coverage.
