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

I wonder why they don't have him included.
Because it's not a rumor.

...probably on Current even more than KO.
By who, Free Speech TV or whatever it's called? they have a viewership of eight.

When you lose out to the insufferable Cenk, your ship has sailed, or sank, depending on your point of view.

How BAD do you have to be to lose to a LOSER? :loser:
If it can be done, KO and Algore can by gawd do it! :lmao:

With that asshole's combative disposition and its inevitable outcome in working relationships, I'd have to go with 'Scuttled.'

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.

The only service KO ever did was to keep Bob Costas from being the most annoying member of the Sunday Night Football team.

Amen. He mentioned sex/orgasms/football players on SNF at LEAST twice that I remember. What a pig! He only wishes he was sandwiched between two offensive linemen...

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.
I'm not usually one to gloat over the misfortune of others, but some ****ers, well, they just DESERVE it.

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:

Keef is an English-speaking nadin.

Keith changed his twitter profile last night, he used to post as Chief News Officer for Current TV, now he just has some bullshit about baseball.

Gore thought Keef would bring his viewers with him from MSNBC to Current.
Trouble is, HE DID! All 5 of them! :lmao:

DUmmies used to quote Keef and The Munch every night.
Now they discuss The Munch rarely, and Keef never.
