Oh wow I thought there was a slim chance that Olbermann was quitting because he'd gotten some inside dirt that was truly damning but in actuality he's just incredibly naïve and/or hasn't paid any attention whatsoever to how the world works now that the apocalypse is in full swing.

I read a recent-ish profile on him from this year, probably around when he was starting this show he just impulsively ended (fr it probably got cancelled bc nobody gives a fuck), anyway the story just made him out to be this total weirdo, there was some quote about him being "on the spectrum" and that explained his insanely rude behavior

I saw Olbermann talk about baseball cards at a convention this summer, and it's interesting how he didn't come across in that context as a foaming delusional lunatic.
