There is a rumor going around that Keith Olbermann is having issues with Current TV Mgmt
http://www.businessinsider.com/sounds-like-keith-olbermann-is-already-on-the-outs-with-al-gores-current-tv-2011-12?nr_email_referer=1&utm_source=Triggermail&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Business+Insider+Select&utm_campaign=BI+Select+Recurring+2011-12-30

Keith Olbermann, who began his much-publicized tenure at Al Gore's Current TV this summer is apparently already on the outs with management there.

So much so, he is reportedly being left out of upcoming election coverage specials.

Brian Stelter at the New York Times writes that Olbermann will be notably absent from Current's upcoming two hours specials on the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.

Instead they will be hosted by Cenk Uygur and former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm with appearances by Al Gore, who the NYT notes, usually stays behind the scenes at Current.

Damn. What is Keef's 12 viewers going to watch when he gets canned again?

3. It is possible that Keith is not a very cooperative person.

Agreeing with someone's politics does not mean they are not a pain in the ass.

(If I heard that Rolling Stone was having problems with Hunter Thompson, which they did a lot, I wouldn't just assume they were trying to silence his viewpoint. Thompson was a serious pain in the ass, despite being a great and important writer.)

4. Here's Keith's just-Tweeted reply to the rumor:

View profile
"I've just replied to BrianStelter as follows: anybody who describes my disposition towards Current as "disgruntled" is either uninformed, working from a personal agenda, wrong - or all of the above"

Take that for what it's worth.

Would you expect anything else but a denial?

5. I thought Keith's election coverage was great

View profile
I wonder why they don't have him included.

Because it's not a rumor.

By who, Free Speech TV or whatever it's called? they have a viewership of eight.

May be a topic of discussion, but I could care less if I ever here the name "Keith Olbermann" ever again. Actually, I could care less. I really don't ever want to hear/see his name again. What a rotten bastard. To the core.

Keef upset that his current network won't let him run the show?

OMG!

In further news, possible siting of bears, sh*tting in the woods. Film at eleven.

In other news, Keef Obertard was just sighted doing blow off the cock of his former limo driver.  Film at 11.

You sure he wasn't orally ingesting it? Sounds more true to form.

In other news, I won't be watching any video evidence of such events.

(If you find it though, Sparky, just make sure to post it in the Shortbus. Gives me heads up on where to avoid! :lmao:

Gore thought Keef would bring his viewers with him from MSNBC to Current.

Trouble is, HE DID!  All 5 of them!   :lmao:

Now they discuss The Munch rarely, and Keef never.
