That's going to leave a mark. Not only is he dumped from PMS-DMC, now even Algore's channel won't use him for election coverage.

LMAO.

An Election Year Dawns Without Keith Olbermann

And there was much rejoicing!!!

[Cicero]

Instead, Current’s other prime time anchors, Cenk Uygur and Jennifer Granholm, will be joined by the channel’s chairman, the former vice president Al Gore.

Not exactly fair and balanced. Possibly they hired Olbermann as their token conservative.

What in the world is Currant TV? TV for jelly?

[twister881]

If a leftist twit rants on a TV channel with no viewers, does he make a sound?

[Anti-Bubba182]

Olbermann , Cenk Uygur, Jennifer Granholm, and Al Gore and then Dorothy’s house......

[scrabblehack]

My cable company doesn’t carry Current. Nearly every motel room I’ve stayed at the past few years (which is not that many) carried MSNBC. I have never seen Current.

[Paladin2]

Who?

Oh yeah, that guy with a cow college diploma from Cornell.

[RichInOC]

Is there anywhere on earth where that guy can work without getting into hissy fits with his colleagues?

Forget him being an anchor. They need to do a reality show about him working there. I guarantee you people would watch that. Yes, even you. Al would get insanely rich.

Oh My God !! How will we survive?

[JLS]

This is laughable. This whole article is a joke on the readers. No one at MSNBC, Current or the New York Times cares a whit about IA or anything else to do with the GOP nomination.

They cover the GOP nominations process for the same reason we all studied our spelling words in grade school. It is part of the job. So Obermann is probably about as unhappy being pulled from this as you would have been had your 5th grade teacher exempted you from spelling tests.

In October, Olberman averaged 46,000 viewers a night.

Algore could air re-runs of Alice and get more viewers.

Please freepmail me if you wish to be added or dropped from the mitten ping.

Holy moley!!! I had no idea how the cheerleader was currently drawing a paycheck. Thought she was flogging some book.

[GSWarrior]

These absences suggest that there may be new tension between Mr. Olbermann and the managers at Current,

Why wouldn't there be? Apparently no one--conservative or liberal--can stand the guy.

“Despite being the biggest star on the fledging channel”

LOL- what’s a “fledging” channel??? I’ve heard of a fledgling channel- though Current TV, which has been around more than six years, is more a flailing channel....

[COBOL2Java]

No Keef! What will the DUmmies do?

[Clintons Are White Trash]

I’m sure Keith and all 6 of his regular viewers are devastated.

[katykelly]

How long does Current have to be on air before it’s no longer called “ fledgling “ ?

[Future Snake Eater]

I hope Olbermann hangs this in his office...

[PJ-Comix]

Could be good DUFU material here. Unfortunately the computer I´m posting from in Venezuela is too slow to do DUFUs without incredible frustration. And the journal posts I´ve been making I first post to my goole docs and then copy and paste here. Otherwise impossible to do.
