As Twitchy told you earlier, Keith Olbermann recently tried to recruit his minions to make a Mississippi hunter’s life “a living hell” for the crime of shooting a white turkey — and to get the journalist who wrote about it fired.
It be rare and beautiful so me should kill it.
This pea-brained scumbag identifies himself as Hunter Waltman and we should do our best to make sure the rest of his life is a living hell. And the nitwit clown who wrote this fawning piece should be fired. https://t.co/KdU3Bkg104

People like Stephen Gutowski couldn’t help but wonder how Olbermann’s bosses at ESPN felt about it:
Why is an @ESPN host trying to ruin a hunters life for legally harvesting a turkey and why is he trying to get a reporter fired for reporting on it? https://t.co/fjU6bDyslO

Is @ESPN going to do anything about this? Is it in line with their editorial standards for their hosts to send their million+ followers after a random hunter and a local journalist?

Looks like we’ve got our answer:
Just got an ESPN statement on Keith Olbermann siccing his million or so follower on a turkey hunter and asking them to make his life a "living hell":
"We have spoken to him about not making personal attacks.”https://t.co/o7YrZB5Qgc

They’ve “spoken to him.” Harsh.
Since the last time he did it?

Did they not watch any of his shows over about, oh, the past 25 years???

Oh well, that should do it. https://t.co/KJiWf2zHro

Ah. That should do the trick, then.

Oh, well. I guess its all good now. They spoke to him. He only threatened to make the life of a private citizen "living hell".

Next time it happens, ESPN will send Olbermann a strongly worded letter.

Olbermann must be quaking in his boots right about now.
KO's harassing tweet is still up; guess he ignored @ESPN https://t.co/8lA5INasDn

Guess it’s safe to assume he’s not sorry.
Olbermann should be fired, fined, and forced to do community service, preferably at the request of the man he tried to destroy.
Punish the shamers, that is the only language they understand. https://t.co/mBbWiLBOt6— PoliMath (@politicalmath) March 27, 2019
but what if he did a lot of community service beforehand, gotta let him off on time served

Sounds reasonable to us!
