ESPN has issued a statement in response to a report saying they have censored Keith Olbermann’s commentary on his ESPN TV show “Olbermann.”
In their response, ESPN PR says Olbermann has never been told any topic is off limits or that he has to dial down his commentary in order to be re-signed by the network:

ESPN’s statement came in response to a report in The Hollywood Reporter that said the network has asked Olbermann to “cease engaging in ‘commentary’ on his ESPN2 program” in order to receive a contract extension.
