ESPN's Olbermann Discusses Recent Suspension On "Late Show"

ESPN’s Keith Olbermann appeared on CBS’ “Late Show” last night and discussed his recent suspension. Olbermann: "I’m kind of grateful that this happened because it would have been a bigger problem at some point down the line. I got into a dispute with some folks on Twitter and it got personal because on Twitter, you don’t think of anybody else as an actual human being. ... Somebody sent me something, I assumed it was negative. I didn’t read it."

Olbermann said ESPN told him, "'Tell you what, stay home a couple of days and let’s let it cool down,' and I went, 'Thank you.'" Olbermann said Twitter is the "first true sign that society is disintegrating." Now that he uses it less, he has "an extra hour-and-a-half to three hours per day. … Did you know I have two dogs? I only thought I had the one. I wasn’t paying attention" (“Late Show,” CBS, 3/10).
