Keith Olbermann’s New Job:
TV Newser ^ | Feb. 7, 2011 | Molly Stark Dean

Posted on 02/07/2011 6:54:51 PM PST by Beaten Valve

....Current TV.

TVNewser learned earlier today that Keith Olbermann would make an announcement tomorrow as to where he’ll be next after he left “Countdown.”

But the news broke sooner than expected.

The New York Times‘ Bill Carter and Brian Stelter wrote today that Olbermann will be going to Current TV.

Carter and Stelter wrote that Olbermann and his representatives would not deny the story and an anonymous source told them that the former MSNBC host would have an equity stake in Current TV.

It’s the only job he could find. They gave him a stake in it....which means they gave him nothing.

NY Times:

“Two days before Olbermann’s announced departure from MSNBC the Internet domain name TheOlbermannShow.com was registered.”

Is that a big a move as Dan Rather’s was when he was put out to pasture?

remember that it was Clinton I think who required cable-satellite systems to carry these little leftist channels before leaving office. Obama is carrying on with the idea of creating 2000 community radio stations controlled by “community groups” like ACORN and then he forced Comcast to hook up with leftist “citizen journalism” groups to buy NBC.

I think this is one of the many channels I deleted from my DirecTV lineup.

If only we could get a la carte programming through Congress...the airwaves would be freed of so much dreck!

Greeter at the local Wal-Mart is seen by more people than a host on Current TV

Actually, the performance of Current TV is so poor, all they could offer him was a steak.....not a stake.

Yes, I just checked this Al Gore’s idiot cable channel.
Well Olberman getting a stake in this is not worth much.
Joke Channel with the new Joker as the host.

Given the viewership of Gore’s channel this shouldn’t trigger any sort of non-compete clause Olbermann may have.

Commie TV, founded by the maniac algore, who won the popular vote in 2000.

As if that wasn't proof enough that the Republic is doomed, and that the franchise must be stripped from imbeciles, welfare cases, and and non tax payers.

I was talking to a gal who said her unemployed friend mom of 3 spent 400 bucks to cash her $9000 check from you and me via the apparatchiks at the IRS.

Its all over but the shouting.
