Rift Between Olbermann and Current TV Deepens: 'Everybody Is Replaceable'
Keith Olbermann returned to the airwaves Wednesday night, but the rift between the bad boy anchor and his superiors at Current TV has not dissipated a day after he refused to lead the network’s coverage of the Iowa caucus, TheWrap has learned.
The newsman has tapped high-powered lawyer Patricia Glaser to "determine his rights" in his five-year contract, an individual close to him told TheWrap.
But that was just the most public sign of recent dissension. TheWrap spoke to multiple individuals on both sides of the rift. They said that Olbermann is frustrated by the slow growth of the network and its shoddy facilities (the anchor has lit a candle on his desk to mock the network’s occasional blackouts).
Meanwhile, Current executives have tired of Olbermann’s controlling nature and his evident aversion to sharing the spotlight with recently-hired hosts Cenk Uygur and former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm.

:rofl: How the mighty have fallen. Jennifer Granholm has been reduced to appearing on TV with Keith Olbermann. :lmao:

I believe that Al Bore hired Queef Olberdork to help speed the growth of the network. Queef failed.

:rofl:
Where else would Olberdork go now? He's already burned his bridges at ESPN/ABC, NBC/MSNBC, Fox, CNN, etc.

That would be too honest for him.
He can shack up with Bill Maher at HBO.

Which would make Maher's show even less watchable than it already is.

I find comfort in knowing that althebore and his tribe of misfits continues to fail.

Hey Keith, when an awful lot of people are saying you're one of the biggest douchenozzles on the planet and virtually nobody is watching your show that generally means you're one of the biggest douchenozzles on the planet and virtually nobody is watching your show.

He should hire a clown or a sock puppet like Albert the Alley Cat and he'll be golden.

Didn't you hear? He doesn't like to share the spotlight.
On that topic, I'm sure this prick flunked out of pre-school because of that very issue.

Olbermann refusing an assignment?
If it were any media reporter/newsie, they'd be fired, with the reason nailed to every resume they ever filled out, but Keef thinks he's too good to do, well, HIS JOB.

Which is probably why he has his lawyer looking into things.

^5 for Albert.

Maybe Algore wanted to lower the stock price of CurrentTV so he could buy his partners out. Once he does, fire Keith...profit.

What a crybaby. "Waaah! Republicans!" :bawl:
I hope Keef goes down and takes Algor's bullshit network with him in the ensuing lawsuit(s). They deserve each other.

This man needs to know what a professional reporter is, someone send him the bio of Walter Cronkite, Andy Rooney, who does he think he is, Walter Winchell ????

And this is bad, HOW? :lmao:

Hmmm. whats next for Keif?
Air America is dead. No one will touch pure poison.
self made You Tubes is likely where he will end up. If he's not an idiot, he should have a couple of mil stashed away, and a modest person could live on that for the rest of his life. (but my money is on the idiot part)
Current was his last chance. No one will be stupid enough to hire him now.
