They can't spy on him under his desk, so he's safe.

He got metoo'd, so he's a rapist. How'd he get back in journalism? I thought they ostracized rapists?

Only the bad type of rapist, like the bad type of spying or the bad type of rich white guy.

Although I don't remember him getting MeTooed, and I'm not sure I believe it. I'm convinced he'd be physically incapable.

Well, it sure has been a challenge to get a search engine to cough up a result from 2017 that showed he got metoo'd. But he sure did. He abruptly quit his show "for no reason" in the middle of a deranged rant against Trump, and then it came out he was accused and that's why. This was the closest I got: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/keith-olbermann-retiring-political-commentary_n_5a1cd3cde4b0e2ddcbb2300c

Olbermann’s announcement was met with celebration from his critics, including the president’s oldest son, and confusion by many of his supporters.

You can run it down if you want, but that's what happened.
