Keith Olbermann Calls Clay Travis ‘F***ing Moron’ For Sharing Fake Trump Statement

“The two have often bashed one another over various topics.”

After it was announced President Biden had tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday, many took to Twitter to send well-wishes to the 79-year-old.

Clay Travis, host of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, was not exactly in that camp, instead retweeting a screenshot of a statement that was allegedly from former President Trump.

“Donald Trump’s statement on Joe Biden testing positive for covid is a work of art” Travis tweeted.

Unfortunately for Travis, the statement was never issued by the former President. 

22 minutes after sending the original tweet, Travis sent a follow up message that read “This is a parody. But should be the official statement. Still a work of art.”

The snafu didn’t go unnoticed by political commentator Keith Olbermann. The former MSNBC anchor tweeted “Thanks for confirming you’re a f***ing moron, and a member of the Easily-Led Hall of Fame, @ClayTravis” accompanied by the hashtag #FellForFakes.

Olbermann later erroneously tweeted Travis had deleted the initial tweet with a screenshot of the original message from Travis, calling him a “Sooooper genius” while doing so.

The two have often bashed one another over various topics. In May, Travis shared an article written for Outkick calling Olbermann a deranged lunatic for attacking a mother of five who homeschools her children on Mother’s Day. Their feud goes back as far as 2020, when Olbermann suggested Travis leave “the science to the adults” while calling him a “clownboy” for his opinion on one of Joe Biden’s advisors suggesting a 4-6 week lockdown during the height of the COVID pandemic.

Nick Kayal: ‘CNN is Done’ After Chris Licht Ouster

“They are never getting out of third place, or last place, if that’s how you want to look at it.”

The shocking, while not surprising, announcement that CNN CEO Chris Licht would leave the company Wednesday morning is the talk of the news media world. 1210 WPHT morning man Nick Kayal believes Licht’s departure signals a death knell for CNN.

“It confirms a lot of things for me, personally. I think CNN is done. I think they are dead. They are never getting out of third place, or last place, if that’s how you want to look at it,” the Kayal and Company host said Wednesday morning.

“Looking up at MSNBC, who does their type of news coverage at a much more consumed level than CNN, and certainly looking up at Fox News, the leader in cable news…he makes it a year and a month and Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company, says ‘You know what? We’ve seen enough’.”

Kayal said the situation at CNN was untenable with some employees still being loyal to former CEO Jeff Zucker, but said one situation in particular led to Licht’s downfall.

“There always seems to be some drama there,” said Kayal. “I started thinking about this last night, and now with his departure, here’s the thing: if you’re the boss — especially at these networks — you should not be part of the talking head show fodder…I’ve always felt like if you were one of these guys, and I can only do it from a talk radio — sports or news — perspective, nobody wants to know who you are. By and large, if you are about creating the brand, the content, the image, the personas, you do that behind the scenes and you really do that behind the scenes and don’t be someone your opposing rivals can talk about.”

Kayal argued that Licht stepped into a “crummy” situation, and was likely destined to fail.

Other guests include a Jewish school principal, an Asian-American artist who paints murals honoring silent heroes of the Holocaust, and a District Attorney.

“I, along with others, recently watched in horror as anti-Semitic protesters were seen making Nazi salutes to passersby on the 405 freeway,” KFI-AM 640 Program Director Robin Bertolucci said.

“As broadcasters, it is our duty to educate and inform our listeners and this podcast brings attention to the unseemly underbelly of Antisemitism which is sadly alive and well online and in our communities.”

Mike Gallagher Mesmerized By Reach of ‘Tucker on Twitter’

“He is going to reach more people on Twitter than he ever did with his TV show.”

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson debuted his digital video program Tucker on Twitter Tuesday, and radio host Mike Gallagher shared his surprise at the reach of the program on the social media platform.

“He is back on Twitter. He had a scathing takedown of the mainstream media. More than 10 million people have viewed it already. It is unbelievable,” The Mike Gallagher Show host shared Wednesday. “He is going to reach more people on Twitter than he ever did with his TV show.”

Gallagher then played a clip of Carlson’s discussing the lack of reporting about where the money the US government has sent to Ukraine to fight the war against Russia has been allocated. Carlson said the media’s lack of interest in the story is disappointing, claiming “in journalism, curiosity is the gravest crime.”

“What a profound thing. Typical Tucker Carlson. In journalism, curiosity is the big crime. You are not allowed to be curious about COVID. We’re not allowed to ask about a vaccine. How dare you say anything about election integrity,” said Gallagher. “No, that is the greatest crime and you need to be shut down. You need to be shut down big time.”
