Keith Olbermann vs Rachel Maddow
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=maddow+olbermannAs some of us know, it is reported that Rachel Maddow “vetoed” the idea of Keith Olbermann as her successor in MSNBC broadcasts.
In the interests of transparency, I believe the public deserves more information on such media struggles.
I would like Rachel to speak directly on this subject.
1. I want to know the names of all the people who were vetoing Keith Olbermann
2. I wasn’t aware that Rachel was in the chain of command
Additional questions …. blah blah

While Rachel was going to succeed--no matter what-- it was KO that really gave her the television breaks initially to give her exposure beyond radio at AAR. He supposedly expressed some general comments about colleagues who had not supported him when he left MSNBC unceremoniously, but it wasn't clear that meant Rachel or any other person specifically.
Given her success, Rachel is clearly wielding her power now. I can't help but speculate about it, but it seems that much is behind the scenes on these issues. So I doubt we will get full details, albeit certain to have some rumors break. 
Disappointing, for sure.
Griffin and Olbermann have had a long-lasting feud dating back 15 years or so. Griffin hates Olbermann. It was more his decision that Maddow's, but Rachel relented because he's now in charge of her future.
Griffin: Former MSNBC chief.
