For all of you out there who have legitimately posed the painfully obvious question as to the value to the posting of this article, the answer is while I don't give the newsworthy aspect of the article much more than a rodent's rear-end, there was a certain emotional satisfaction of posting a Keith Olbermann career eulogy a la Dan Rather.I simply could not resist.

There are at least 4 other threads about this...

Current TV does not come in on our Dish.

He must have gotten a better offer from the Obama Administration, and wanted out.

O sucks (double entendre)

Current isn’t so bad. I’ve seen a few really good documentaries. I also use their obvious propaganda to teach ny kids how to recognize it (see their doc on F&F).

And for as many times as this has been posted in the last couple of days, it still makes me smile.

Really? Only now? I thought everyone dismissed Keith Olberman years ago.

executives at Current declined to comment on the firing on Friday. But they immediately named as his replacement Eliot Spitzer,

The sad part his, he's taking home lovely parting gifts. This zero has made millions of bucks.

I have to give him credit, I never thought I would see a sports announcer more odious and pompous than Howard Cosell. (Recall, Cosell once had a non-sports talk show on the ABC network called Speaking of Everything, a spin off from his show, Speaking of Sports.) Of course, Cosell showed what a truly classless ingrate he was when he published his memoir, I Never Played the Game. With Olberman, we didn't have to wait.

They probably hired former congressman Anthony Weiner as Splitzer’s backup. ROTFLMAO!!!!

So that's what "Current TV" is.

Since getting DirectTV late last year I've noticed three explicitly left wing "news" channels as opposed to no explicitly right wing news channels. Oddly enough, they are for the most part interspersed among the religious channels, I suppose because for the Left their politics is a religion.

Aside from "Current" there's "Free Speech TV" (quite a name for the representative of a movement that believes only one side in the debate is entitled to "free speech"). There's a third whose name I can't remember at the moment.

Why isn't there a conservative news channel? And I don't mean Fox!

And, I can't resist reading every thread on this. Kind of like a weekend brunch. Bring on the tasty drinks - you know the one - champagne & orange juice. Hold the umbrellas, please. They take up too much space.
