[edit] Olbermann fired from Fox by Rupert Murdoch himself
Due to the page being locked, I was not able to add this to the middle of the Post-_SportCenter_ paragraph:
On July 13, 2011, Olbermann reported that he had been blackmailed by Fox for reporting that Rupert Murdoch was trying to sell the Los Angeles Dodgers.
[I'd have used "extortion" instead of "blackmail", since no dirty secret's revelation was threatened.]

On August 1, 2011, Olbermann wrote that he was told that he had been fired from Fox by Rupert Murdoch himself.

- I'm not sure what you are asking for. The article already covers this point and even lists this source. Trackinfo (talk) 23:41, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- And what do you mean by the page being locked? The article is currently semi-protected. I can see from your edit history that you have more than enough edits and an old enough account to edit semi-protected pages. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 05:25, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
You're right about the firing being already covered. I'll see about working in the "blackmail" issue, now that I've figured out my permissions upon login. (I was fooled by the lock icon still appearing even when _edit_ links were freshly offered.) Thanks.
