5:13 p.m. | Updated Current TV said Friday afternoon that it had terminated the contract of its lead anchor Keith Olbermann, scarcely one year after he was hired to reboot the fledgling channel in his progressive political image.

Mr. Olbermann did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Current indicated that he had failed to honor the terms of his five-year, $50 million contract, giving the channel the right to terminate it.

I totally forgot about KO for hte longest time.

Liberals (like me) are not all pro-KO.

“Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it. 
We are moving ahead by honoring Current's values.”

So they honor Current's values by replacing Keith with Eliot Spitzer, that paragon of virtue. :funny:

[Jack Shit]

Hopefully he turns up on Comedy Central, HBO, or ESPN.

Plus he know where to buy good poosie.Too bad he didn't share this information with Clinton. He wouldn't have shamed America by being with Monica Lewinsky and instead would have been revered for being with a nice piece of ass.

Keith pulls the same shit wherever he goes.

Keith Olbermann: Current Won't Pay $50 Million Deal, Cites Breach of Contract, Sabotage, Disparagement


http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/2012/03/keith_olbermann_fired.jpg


Olbermann's team was informed Thursday morning that Current would immediately replace him with Eliot Spitzer; accused of missing 19 out of 41 work days



"....Current has asserted that Olbermann missed 19 out of 41 working days in January and February. Then on Monday, Feb. 27, Olbermann asked for a vacation day on the following Monday, March 5, one day before the Super Tuesday GOP primaries. Olbermann was told that he could not have the day off, and if he took it, he would be in breach of contract. He took the day off. But he was on the air the following day for Current’s Super Tuesday coverage.........."

Who does he think he is? Howard Stern? You can't just shit on your employer and audience and not have any consequences. That is, if your name isn't Howard Stern.

You done Ninjered me :jj:

Please don't make a mockery of this...who is Olberman? I'm guessing a "lefty" commentator, from Nemo's apparent glee? I virtually never watch TV.

Never watch TV? Are you crazy? Blasphemy!!! Yep, he's a lefty commentator who has never played nice with employers. He used to be an ESPN anchor and even caused trouble with them. He has an ago rivaled only by Howard's.

The fuck didn't they hire David Shuster?
If nobody's watching Keith Olbermann, who the fuck do they think will watch Spitzer???

By the way... lately I've been watching the simulcast of the Bill Press radio show followed by the simulcast of the Stephanie Miller radio show.
Press's show is pretty good.
Stephanie Miller is lipstick lesbian hot but her radio show is a kind of political talk/morning zoo format and hard to follow... her side-kicks are two unfunny gays who interrupt with non sequiturs.

I'm a professional TV watcher. Don't watch Current TV though. Too many entertaining thins to watch and not enough time.
