Keith Olbermann isn't happy:

In a video posted to his account on Saturday, Olbermann alluded to exactly why he was frustrated with Sulzberger – namely, a recent Politico article that detailed the tensions between the New York Times and the White House over the outlets and specifically pointed to Sulzberger. Olbermann’s clip mentioned a quote in the Politico piece from an anonymous Times journalist who allegedly said, "It’s A.G. He’s the one who is p***d [that] Biden hasn’t done any interviews and quietly encourages all the tough reporting on his age." According to Politico, Sulzberger also reportedly confronted Vice President Kamala Harris over Biden's decision to avoid interviews with major newspapers. Following Politico’s piece, The Times released a statement which slammed Biden for granting "far fewer press conferences and sit-down interviews with independent journalists than virtually all of his predecessors." "It is true that The Times has sought an on-the-record interview with Mr. Biden, as it has done with all presidents going back more than a century. If the president chooses not to sit down with The Times because he dislikes our independent coverage, that is his right, and we will continue to cover him fully and fairly either way," it added.
