"Anyone know how John Gibson and Red Eye are handling this?"

No witty comments today MKDAWUSS?

Or has it sunk in that your hero joined a backwater network and is less relevant than ever?

interesting that you'd consider Current a "backwater Network" on a site that nobody outside the right wing echo chamber have ever heard of.

M-Ditty, your pal MKDAWUSS tried that false equivalency argument before and it didn't work out. It's just not the devastating point you think it is.

Is anyone here shocked that once again a shitbrain far lefter doesn't get it?

Look Soper, the only reason anyone (not just "right-wingers" as you so eloquently put it) know this station exists is for one of two reasons:

1. They remember that North Korea detained two of its reporters in 2009.

2. They heard of it yesterday when it announced the hiring of Keith Olbermann.

Maybe "backwater" isn't the proper term, but I've used "irrelevant" plenty of times this week so excuse me for changing it up.

What I find interesting is people like you making this out to be a game-changing career move. Newsflash, it's not.

Let me be clear again: This move by Olbermann is a joke. Any extra audience he creates will be minimal and do nothing to pull the station out of the gutter.

Keep trying to make this out to be more than it is Soper.

"(not just "right-wingers" as you so eloquently put it)"

He's referring to people who know of this site, but he's completely wrong as this site has been referenced by many left leaning "news" outlets from Media Matters to the Washington Post.

lol. M-Ditty. Your point comes across essentially as "You're irrelevant too!" Not exactly the point you want to make if you are a Keith defender.

My advice would be to try and actually defend Current and/or Keith's decision to go to Current. You're just shooting the messenger.

So what if it's a backwater network? IIRC MSNBC was pretty anonymous before KO built it into the recognizable entity that it is today.

It's kind of funny that it's a backwater network. He used to bag on Fox Business all the time.

You seem to think Keith is a big draw. I don't think he is. We'll have to wait and see who is right.

"So what if it's a backwater network? IIRC MSNBC was pretty anonymous before KO built it into the recognizable entity that it is today."

This is how fucking stupid you are Carlos.

I said this yesterday:

"MKDAWUSS has once again missed the point.

Yes, Olbermann put MSNBC on the map. EIGHT YEARS AGO.

Since then his stock has dropped considerably. I mean, I could go over all the stuff that's happened in eight years but MKDAWUSS is just gonna ignore it or ask a question that will become rhetorical because he doesn't want an answer and just likes to pretend he can get the drop on me so it would just be a waste of time.

If the rumor is true then this is just a desperate attempt to get a struggling network off the ground. Nothing more."

Do I have to spell it out for you? HE. IS. NOT. THE. SAME. MAN. HE. WAS. EIGHT. YEARS. AGO. Regurgitating a point you made that was shot down yesterday doesn't make it right today.

And again, the reasons why are not worth bringing up because you're just going to ignore them, something your tired ass has been doing for over a year now.

So again Carlos, don't bother wasting our time with a "when's the last time Keith lied and didn't apologize" comment because it's been laid out again and again and again and you have chosen never to respond.

Where did I ever say or imply that he was the same person from 8 years ago?

And yes, he's changed since then, but that doesn't mean he's now unable to develop a who-dat network into a powerful channel.

"Where did I ever say or imply that he was the same person from 8 years ago?"

Oh. My. God.

Am I really asking for a lot of critical thinking here? Or is Carlos just not capable of it?

"And yes, he's changed since then, but that doesn't mean he's now unable to develop a who-dat network into a powerful channel."

I know you're in a world where if you don't read something it didn't happened but for the rest of us that live in reality there's eight years worth of reasons on this Web Site alone explaining why things are different. Just because you ignore the fact that Olbermann is a lying, hate-filled jackass doesn't mean he isn't.

Get this through your head MKDAWUSS: This channel has gone nowhere and hiring a man who is perceived as the scum of the earth and everything that is wrong with political discourse in this country is not going to help.

Furthermore, considering your recent post advocating cable piracy I doubt (if by some miracle you already have this channel) you'll be spending any extra money to get this premium channel. I believe this is the part where you say "When did I advocate cable piracy?" Exhibit A:

"You know, these sites have many positive uses. Expanding viewership being one of them. It can be hard to people in one country to watch programming (normally sporting events) that's going on in another country. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0211/48692.html"

What does that have to do with anything? If Olbermann's "loyal fanbase" won't drop the cash for this move, why would anyone else?

MKDAWUSS will begin ignoring this post in 3...2...1...

"CJ, this is the last I'm going to comment on the subject."

Good. Because I'm sick of explaining my rationale to people who don't understand.

"MK has made it very clear that is he is an Olbermann supporter, ignorant, has bouts with hypocrisy, is an avid liberal, and perhaps pees his pants most mornings."

Actually, he claims to be an "independent moderate". Whatever that means. I can't prove he wets the bed but that's neither here nor there.

"It didn't take most people on OW long to learn that these are his qualities. I don't need to be reminded of it everyday, and trust me, he's giggling behind the scenes knowing that you're spending minutes of your day allowing his predictable comments to get under your skin."

Well that's a mutual thing then. He giggles that he gets under my skin and I giggle at the fact that his parents raised four-to-six ugly ass children and the one that frequents Olbermann Watch is a computer nerd who can't even get his own site running and defends a guy who would probably out the names of his sisters if (God forbid) one of them was violated if it served his own purposes. Mom and Dad must be so proud.

And I resent the fact that you think MKDAWUSS gets under my skin. He doesn't. To me MKDAWUSS is an example. An example to the lurkers that those who defend Olbermann will get theirs. Those who defend Keith Olbermann don't deserve anyone's respect.

"Take the O'reilly approach, your better than MK, smarter than MK; so he's not worthy of yours, or anyone else's time."

I'M NOT O'REILLY.

"Unlike the KOS, this site allows differing opinion, welcomes it, but when it's the same tired bullshit day in, and day out, the only way to make it go away is to ignore it."

We tried ignoring it. Didn't work. And I welcome MKDAWUSS' opinion. Every time he opens his mouth it helps J$ and Mr. Cox.

"The liberals at the KOS don't understand this, they can't debate, so they avoid it by removing differing opinion..."

ryder, seriously, stop making excuses for people like MKDAWUSS. He left the gutters of Kos to play with others. He can leave any time he wants. He chose to stay. And I choose to mock him until he admits we're right and/or he's a hypocrite.

Since you're done commenting on this we can move on.

Backwater is a generous description.

Current averaged 18,000 homes in primetime for fourth quarter 2010, lower than any other network measured by Nielsen.

18K...LOL!!!

ENOUGH! RESIGN!

This is the 490th day since the current President was awarded the Nobel peace prize.

This is the 20th day with no Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

A grand total of 18,000 viewers a night. What a career move.

" lower than any other network measured by Nielsen." LOL! LOL! Dead last? Out of all of the networks in existence, last place, the very bottom? Only 2% of his MSNBC audience if he is lucky? Are you kidding me?

Yeah but can't you hear it already?....

"of all the shows "CURRENT"ly on "TV" I'm rated #1*"

*of all currentv programming

"we're #1* in 18,000 homes!"

*among all 20,000 currentv subscribers

"the most watched news* program on currentv"
