Keith Olbermann released a televised apology for the anti-Penn State Twitter rants that got him suspended by ESPN one week ago, and it was…long.
Did you make it through the whole “speech” and its convoluted analogy? Congratulations!
Olbermann (sort of) has a point here: a depressingly small number of people read links before commenting, certain social networks can amplify this behavior, and the resulting nastiness is probably not good for anybody, least of all the people who get a thrill out of doing it.
