John Gibson has a few words regarding the firing of Keith Olbermann. Mr Gibson worked with Oralmann for years and knows him as few others do. We have the audio for your listening pleasure:
Comments are open!
"You should crawl off...into a hole..and DIE!!!"
That gets me every time! Still angry after all these year...
I didn't realize John Gibson was still on the air...
OH, you must be confusing him with Keith Olbermann
Gibby cracks me up. He has first-hand, expert knowledge of Bathtub Boy and was, to me, surprisingly tame in his criticism today. He could have unloaded on FatAss for hours, but Gibby chose to keep it brief.
I'm not surprised that Olby flamed out again - I'm more surprised that anyone, even algore, would gamble on Olby knowing that he is so unstable. I'm not sure who is more insane in this situation.
"I didn't realize John Gibson was still on the air..."
For the last time, you need to shut your mouth about John Gibson.
Or do you still maintain that it was GIBSON who was fired from MSNBC in the 1990's for SPENDING TIME IN THE TUB?

Didn't Mommy WUSS explain that if you're gonna insult a man you make sure the insult is accurate?
Oh that's right, Momma WUSS wasn't around much, was she?
"OH, you must be confusing him with Keith Olbermann."
MKDAWUSS is probably still telling himself it's all an April Fool's prank.
So, we have MKDAWUSS telling himself that Gibson was the Bathtub Boy and also telling himself that this whole Olbermann getting fired thing is an elaborate prank.
What other lies do you tell yourself MKDAWUSS?
Hey MKDAWUSS? Has it sunk in yet?
Has it sunk in yet that your hero Keith Olbermann blew what was probably his last real chance at running his own political show?
Has it sunk in yet that everything "you all" said in January has come true?
Has it sunk in yet that once again Keith Olbermann is a man in his 50's that is INCAPABLE of getting along with anyone?
Has it sunk in yet that John Gibson, whom you constantly insult yet know nothing about, still has his radio show and Keith Olbermann has nothing?
Has it sunk in yet that Keith Olbermann's next job will more than likely be "hosting" six minute YouTube clips once a month on the FOK News Channel?
Has it sunk in yet that your hero, Keith Olbermann, blew what was probably his last real chance at running his own political show?
I bet it has. Which is why, other than the fantasy that this is all a joke, you haven't said a damn word about this situation here, at the Kos or on your own Facebook page.
Enjoy Never Never Land Carlos. Say hi to Tinker Bell and the crocodile for me.
Tonight, Olby is going to be on Letterman. They announced "Fired by Current". Which is the first time people learned that Keith was on Current.
"Tonight, Olby is going to be on Letterman. They announced 'Fired by Current'. Which is the first time people learned that Keith was on Current."
Again, horrible idea.
But, I'm not surprised. This guy never listens to the people who pay (paid) him. I doubt he's going to listen to the advice of people he pays, the person in this case being his lawyer.
MKDAWUSS will be watching with bated breath hoping to hear the announcement that this is all an elaborate prank. It must be nice to live in fake realities.
I'm sure his lawyer has informed him on what he should and shouldn't say.
Right Wussy, and I'm sure Keith will ignore him.
And this is might start something. Remember Letterman gave Ton Snyder the 12:35 am slot with the "Late Late Show". What if Dave dangles that carrot out to Olby if Craig Fergenson were to try to strongarm Letterman for a better contract?
"I'm sure his lawyer has informed him on what he should and shouldn't say."
Which is why I said this:
"But, I'm not surprised. This guy never listens to the people who pay (paid) him. I doubt he's going to listen to the advice of people he pays, the person in this case being his lawyer."
Once again MKDAWUSS illustrates his serious literacy, perhaps illiteracy, issues.
On the plus side, MKDAWUSS seems to be moving past the theory that this firing is a joke.
Baby steps Carlos, baby steps.
"Right Wussy, and I'm sure Keith will ignore him."
Her name is Patricia Glaser. And I'm sure the terms of their arrangement are pretty clear: He does whatever the f*** he wants and the mashed up meat bag gets paid to defend him.
This guy's been telling off his bosses for approximately 20 years. I can't imagine how he treats the hired help.
Kind of odd for a guy that hates women to have a female lawyer.
"Kind of odd for a guy that hates women to have a female lawyer."
Her track record is pretty good.
And this guy's turning out to be a gold mine for her firm since he got the boot from MSNBC. It's probably worth being treated like s*** for the money she gets from him.
If she goes before a judge and says "This guy has a track record of being an asshole to everyone he works with and Messers Gore and Hyatt knew that" I see Olbermann walking out with that $50 million.
"What if Dave dangles that carrot out to Olby if Craig Fergenson were to try to strongarm Letterman for a better contract?"
At this point, who cares what these Douchewads on late night tv have to say. At 11:35pm, I have better things to do....like go to bed so I can get up at 5am to go to work. Letterman hasn't been funny in god knows how many years. Maybe Dave should re-introduce that skit "DOES IT FLOAT?" just for The False Murrow. Then we will see if this turd is a floater or sinker.
I'm DVRing Dave tonight, but not because of Herr Olbermahn. Saxophonist Mindi Abair is sitting in with Paul Shaffer's band tonight and tomorrow night. I'll just be watching the intro, Top Ten, tosses to commercial, and outro...oh, and Eugene Levy, who's on tomorrow.
Well Mike, I've got better use for my DVR space than watching Olby give Letterman a reacharound. Like more episodes of Law and Order SVU to watch Mariska in slow motion, Montel's new informercial and Red Eye.
Not to mention I've got dialysis in the morning.
But here's a preview of the latest lovefest between the 1% lefties.
http://news.yahoo.com/olbermann-says-current-tv-wasnt-home-him-004837642.html
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Keith Olbermann is explaining his split with Current TV in decorating terms.
In an interview Tuesday with David Letterman in New York, Olbermann compared himself to an expensive chandelier that ended up without a home. Olbermann said he blames himself for joining Current TV, which he suggested was incapable of supporting his show.
As Olbermann put it in a transcript released by CBS: "If you buy a $10 million chandelier, you should have a house to put it in."
He reportedly had a five-year, $50-million contract with Current. On Friday, the channel announced it was immediately replacing Olbermann's "Countdown" with a new program hosted by former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
The interview with Olbermann is to air Tuesday on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman."
So basically what Olbermann's saying is he was too good for Current TV.
I'm sure MKDAWUSS' tiny mind doesn't see a problem with this.
Oh, and none of this changes the fact that Mr. $10 Million Chandelier decided when he was going to work and when he wasn't going to work. I'm sure the judge will love that too.
MKDAWUSS, is this the type of man I'm supposed to respect? The one who thinks he's God's gift to the universe so when he goes to work in a shithole he makes it worse?
Yeah, I guess it is...
"Oh, and none of this changes the fact that Mr. $10 Million Chandelier decided when he was going to work and when he wasn't going to work. I'm sure the judge will love that too."
If he was out sick, then he should produce a doctor's note.
"So basically what Olbermann's saying is he was too good for Current TV."
As the man Keith said is "dead" and "was a lousy president" said, "There you go again."
Ugh! That Letterman interview was so uncomfortable. Keith was very noticeably trying very hard to make everything he said funny or adorable. And the smattering of polite laughter from the otherwise unmoved audience didn't help.
It's funny that even Letterman didn't buy the chandelier analogy.
One minute into the interview Keith says he went to Cornell. Is that a personal record?
And at one point Keith said he went home and had a conversation with himself, which reminds me of a classic John Gibson line addressed to him:
Gibson: You SIR have no business uttering statements in public. You should be in a phone booth, stained with urine from the homeless, talking to yourself!
Angry Rich: What a quisling...
I sat through Letterman's, uhhhhh... jokes? Is that what they were supposed to be? ... and saw KO's interview, and I really didn't get anything new out of it.
"I sat through Letterman's, uhhhhh... jokes? Is that what they were supposed to be? ... and saw KO's interview, and I really didn't get anything new out of it."
The comedy part of the show was where the guy pretending to be a $10 million chandelier comes on and says "there wasn't a place to hang me."
Which is bulls*** because they built him his own personal studio, gave him his idiotic car service, changed said car service eight times, put up with this "everything goes through my manager" attitude and PAID HIM 10 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO SIT THERE AND SPOUT OFF ABOUT THE NEWS.
I believe this is the part where MKDAWUSS comes in and makes all these excuses for his hero, who is allegedly the smartest, wittiest, most talented man on the planet, but still needs a personal studio, car service and a manager to get things done.
And if he doesn't get them he'll just not show up for work.
Like MKDAWUSS once said, this is the type of man anyone can respect.
The Letterman appearance was incredibly embarrassing. It just went on to serve Olberdork's ultimate fate of being gone from TV for good.
Is there any word on the status of this website? Although Olberdork might pop his ugly head up somewhere, I don't see how he could possibly get any kind of new job, unless he just decides to start his own network.
"Is there any word on the status of this website?"
FOK News Channel? It still redirects to Current's Countdown Web Site.
"Although Olberdork might pop his ugly head up somewhere, I don't see how he could possibly get any kind of new job, unless he just decides to start his own network."
Can you imagine this guy in charge of a company? No high heels, no perfume/cologne, communication only through his appointed representative, etc. etc. etc.
And what happens when this hypochondriac needs a sick day? "We're sorry, KO Studios is closed today. Please call tomorrow." Nevermind the fact that Olbermann doesn't have the balls to start his own network, he doesn't have the temperament or the fortitude to be a leader.
I can't imagine how Oprah Winfrey and Glenn Beck do it. Oprah's hanging on by a thread and it's probably a struggle for Beck as well. One tiny problem at Olbermann's venture and he'd start firing people, or worse.
Im just wondering if keith could try to turn his little website into his own mini venture ..
we can eliminate C-SPAN from hios next home
tho i have a feeling maher could convince HBO to bring him on board
"And what happens when this hypochondriac needs a sick day? "We're sorry, KO Studios is closed today. Please call tomorrow." Nevermind the fact that Olbermann doesn't have the balls to start his own network, he doesn't have the temperament or the fortitude to be a leader."
I believe The False Murrow declared Beck "Fired and a Failure at GBTV".
I bet that The False Murrow will start his own network out of the MMFA building's basement and say that Beck stole his idea.
I don't think he is going to HBO. He'd be feuding with Maher in 5 minutes about who should have the prime time spot. Besides, HBO is a legitimately run business, they wouldn't put up with Olberdork's antics. Funny how quiet it has gotten. Any tweets from the idiot? Anything at all?
Rush Limbaugh chimed in on Chandeliermann's "Late Show" appearance yesterday. He said Keithy is not a $10 million chandelier, but rather "the guy wearing a $50 lampshade sitting in the corner of the room that nobody else wants to go in."
Time Warner to dump Current TV for low ratings:
http://michellemalkin.com/2012/04/05/gore-current/
Thank you Keith Olbermann.

MKDAWUSS has no comment.
Because if he did it would probably go along the lines of how Mediaite is trash despite the fact that Tommy Christopher does whatever he can to make Olbermann look good.

Sharing a link that provides the lawsuit isn't a response. It's just another thread in a long string of evidence proving you can't think for yourself.
And don't pretend you read the whole thing. You demonstrated with your comments on the James O'Keefe that you don't have the first clue about civil law.
Anyway, just a shot in the dark, but I don't think the plaintiff in this case is going to admit he demanded no contact for an hour and threw a coffee mug.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/keith-olbermann-sues-current-tv-millions-224416664.html
I couldn't even make it through the 2nd paragraph without spitting my coffee out with laughter. The idiot blogger who wrote this pap FAILS to even write that he was FIRED from M.S.S.R. (M-BS-NBC); He makes The False Murrow look like he left there BY HIS OWN WILL!!!
Not to mention that he FAILS to say that The False Murrow was FIRED from ESPN, FIRED from Fox Sports, Fired from NBC Sports, Fired from Political Convention coverage, and FIRED from M.S.S.R. (M-BS-NBC) NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!!!
If this terd pulls off a victory in this circus, then HE BETTER hand over every single fucking dime to those OWS fleabags OR ELSE he is a flaming fraud and a hypocrite (but we at this website know that fact). Wussy the Pussy is a clueless lemming that will follow this idiot right off the cliff.

Probably because it's irrelevant to today's news. It wasn't a Keith Olbermann biography, it's a "Keith is suing Current" article/
Anyway, I don't know if not donating the money makes Olbermann a hypocrite, but suing because you're out $70 million doesn't put you anywhere close to the 99 percent.
Which is what many have said all along about these liberals pretending to be for the people.
"Probably because it's irrelevant to today's news. It wasn't a Keith Olbermann biography, it's a "Keith is suing Current" article".
Exactly. Progressives have the mentality that under DemocRAT rule that history begins today. The Past doesn't matter. We know it does. I would only imagine that The False Murrow will concoct a scenario to which Al Gore and Joel Hyatt made him a victim of predatory hiring and predatory contract signing. His unbalanced and unhinged behavior got him tossed from everywhere he is been employed.
Here's the full lawsuit. a 44 page PDF.
http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0405_Keith_Olbermann_plaintiff.pdf
Note in the plaintiff line "Olbermann Broadcasting EMPIRE".
A empire? Really? The man is more delusional than I thought. When this gets to court, it's going to be good.
"A empire? Really? The man is more delusional than I thought. When this gets to court, it's going to be good."
I hope this lawsuit gets coverage on Court TV. I would LOVE to hear Al Gore's attorney cross examine this douche under oath.
If Current filed for bankruptcy, that would be awesome.
"If Current filed for bankruptcy, that would be awesome."
Yeah it would. If they declare bankruptcy then The False Murrow would demand that the Feds bail them out (with OUR tax dollars) so he can get paid.
Did I read that correctly? Is it true? He actually put "Olbermann Empire" in court papers?
I'd like to thank MKDAWUSS for sharing the lawsuit with "you all." I would thank syvyn but it wouldn't have the same effect.
In the lawsuit, Olbermann basically admits that he didn't want Cenk Uygur around and wouldn't help the network promote his show.
More of that "class" you've spoken of in the past MKDAWUSS?
A few thoughts:
-If Current is such a s***hole why didn't Olbermann do everything he could to make it better? Everything so far indicates all Olbermann did was complain.
-How paranoid do you have to be to feel threatened by the success of Cenk Uygur?
-Now that Olbermann himself has admitted in this lawsuit that he's a s***** co-worker, will MKDAWUSS refer to this lawsuit as a "hit piece?"
See Carlos? THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO READ LINKS BEFORE YOU POST THEM! You never know what you're gonna find.
And if you think Current and Algore would just stand still....
http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/06/keith-olbermann-countersued-by-current-tv/
It's getting good! A good friday indeed.
A countersuit?! Which means Olbermann is now getting sued?!
That just put MKDAWUSS into "lets wait for the facts" mode.
And then there was this:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2012/04/06/nbcs-today-show-mocks-keith-olbermann
The Today Show still sucks.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/keith-olbermann-in-current-tvs-cross-complaint-can-you-assassinate-him-please/
In response to an email from a Current employee about complications related to Michael Moore’s appearance on “Countdown,” Mr. Olbermann wrote to Joel Hyatt: “Give me a name so I know which of them to kill with my bare hands.”
"In response to learning that a photograph of “Countdown’s” original set was disclosed to the press by the set designer, Mr. Olbermann wrote to Mr. Hyatt of the person who leaked the picture: “Can you assassinate him please?”
"When asked by Current’s President David Bohrman about the purchase of a $5,300 desk for “Countdown,” which was not discussed with or approved by anyone at the network, Mr. Olbermann replied: “When you are prepared to act like an adult you are welcome to contact us again.”
"Upon learning that Current would not match a salary offer from another television network to someone in “Countdown’s” booking department, Mr. Olbermann wrote to Mr. Bohrman: “We can only conclude here that you have now moved from unjustifiable egotism and unparalleled incompetence, to outright sabotage of this program.”
"In response to an email seeking consultation with Mr. Olbermann about issues relating to “Countdown’s” set: “I am unavailable until further notice.”
MKDAWUSS, I could be wrong but I don't think Olbermann can use the whole "PP has other services" line he used on S.E. Cupp for those "kill" and "assassinate" comments.
Oh, I forgot. All of a sudden you have no comment because "you're waiting for the facts" to come out.
Funny how you didn't give a s*** about the facts last night when Olbermann's suit came out.
While much of it sounds like something John Gibson would say about KO, the list of accusations and recollections of interactions from both sides is eye-opening, to say the least.
"While much of it sounds like something John Gibson would say about KO..."
Oh, so NOW you admit you were so stupid you thought John Gibson was the man who was fired from MSNBC for not showing up to work.
Because if you ever actually listened to John Gibson (and "you all" know you don't), when he speaks of Olbermann that's pretty much all he talks about.
And just so we're even more clear these "accusations" and "recollections of interactions" give Gibson's comments about Olbermann accuracy.
Granted, Olbermann himself admitted he didn't show up for work in the 90's for MSNBC, but since when do you give a s*** about the truth?
"...the list of accusations and recollections of interactions from both sides is eye-opening, to say the least."
It's only eye-opening to you because you've chosen to ignore 20 years of negative comments regarding Keith Olbermann.
I'm just curious MKDAWUSS, how many years worth of stories do you need to hear before the become true?
Furthermore, how many times do you insult someone before you actually learn one accurate thing about them?
Oh, and those "recollections" are backed up by e-mails. Those were probably forged too, right Carlos?
But hey, if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn't be MKDAWUSS, would you?
I apologize to MKDAWUSS for saying this:
"Oh, so NOW you admit you were so stupid you thought John Gibson was the man who was fired from MSNBC for not showing up to work."
It should read:
"Oh, so NOW you admit you are so stupid you thought John Gibson was the man who was fired from MSNBC for not showing up to work."
Again, for reference:
http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2011/10/olbermann_visit_1.php#comments
MKDAWUSS is welcome to clarify things but from here it looks like he's an idiot.
Because only someone who doesn't follow cable news or an idiot could screw up that story.
And "you all" know MKDAWUSS follows cable news...
"It's getting good! A good friday indeed."
In order to make my Good Friday a GREAT Good Friday, it would be an announcement that Media Matters has hired The False Murrow immediately. That shithole would fold faster than a Wal-Mart Tent.
"Oh, so NOW you admit you are so stupid you thought John Gibson was the man who was fired from MSNBC for not showing up to work."
It was great reading the comments from the archives, especially the ones where Wussy the Pussy was defending The False Murrow over the whole IHTA single day contribution compared to Bill O'Reilly's multiple contributions OVER THE YEARS.
Olby is back on twitter, and he's on the warpath.
https://twitter.com/#!/adamsbaldwin/status/188753634685751297/photo/1
Well, now Keith is picking a fight with a Baldwin. But it's the cool Baldwin, Adam.
Be careful Keith, Adam likes his guns. I'm sure Fatman has blocked Mr. Baldwin. So it's attack and block for Bathtub boy.
So I took some time to read the countersuit as well as some accompanying stories.
"While much of it sounds like something John Gibson would say about KO, the list of accusations and recollections of interactions from both sides is eye-opening, to say the least."
Well MKDAWUSS, the main "accusation" is Olbermann missed a lot of work.
Can you deny that? Or is this another case of you "waiting for the facts to come out?"
Because we can argue all day about his demanding a closed door/zero communication policy and throwing mugs and wanting to kill people and nothing will come of it.
But not showing up for work? I'd love to hear your excuse for that one...
One of the things no one has discussed yet is, if Olbermann were to win this case, it will be in part because his counsel lawyered the s*** out of it.
And Patty Glaser doesn't come cheap. Which means money will be a factor in who wins this case.
And "you all" recall how much MKDAWUSS hates, hates, HATES people who control things with money.
Well, he hates some people that control things with money. Olbermann, Immelt, Unions, Soros, MKDAWUSS doesn't care when these people shape the world with their piggy banks.

Throwing mugs at people in the studio?
A very joyous Easter Sunday to all and a very Happy 24th Birthday to Carlos "MKDAWUSS" Lejjena. May this last year before you turn 25b be filled with success, happiness and you growing the f*** up as you find real people to look up to.
I'm pretty sure this is pure satire, but yet it doesn't seem to be that far off from reality.
http://news.yahoo.com/keith-olbermann-al-gore-secret-emails-revealed-030425391.html
It was a good laugh.
It's been a couple days, and I have yet to hear what a big KO fan Mike Wallace was. He must be distracted.
"It's been a couple days, and I have yet to hear what a big KO fan Mike Wallace was. He must be distracted."
Don't hold your breath; You won't hear that. Mike Wallace's son is Chris Wallace from Fox News. The False Murrow said some pretty crass and ugly things about Chris Wallace over the years so I highly doubt that we'd hear nice things about Mike Wallace.
Come to think of it, What has the False Murrow done over the last 2 weeks other than sit on his fat ass all day, post on the TWITter and brag about his upcoming lawsuit when he shouldn't be talking about his case in the open like he is doing?
Roger Ailes mocks Olbermann. Lol.

"It was a good laugh."
Art imitates life.
http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/too_late_for_current_tv_to_be_shocked_9Syd8gcfHbW1CeJqBPxO0N
I said this when I first heard of the lawsuit. This is why Olbermann's (probably) gonna win.
"This is why Olbermann's (probably) gonna win."
I once had to fire someone at the place I worked at due to excessive absenses. The employee constantly called out when we had big jobs to do. We all have a job to do, and you are either with the team or you're not. I fired that person for cause. It is not fair to the other people that worked for me that they would constantly have to do that person's job too.
Just because that douchebag thinks he is going to get money for free, think again. Yes, Current was stunningly stupid to hire this man, but what's his defense......I got fired from M.S.S.R. (M-BS-NBC) the first time for refusing to do my show now pay me my money?
And people wonder why this country is so ass backwards. Hey Jackass....you didn't honor your contract. You don't deserve that money you worthless prick.
And another reason why I don't think The False Murrow SHOULD NOT WIN this rediculous law suit:
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/petrino-wont-appeal-firing-mistress-171131451--ncaaf.html
That idiot Petrino got fired for cause; he lied to investigators. The False Murrow has a solid, well documented history of lying on the air about virtually everything under the sun. I don't remember a court case involving someone who is being sued for defamation sand at the same time suing his boss with a countersuit from his boss.
Atleast Petrino is showing humility and is shutting the hell up.
"Just because that douchebag thinks he is going to get money for free, think again. Yes, Current was stunningly stupid to hire this man, but what's his defense......I got fired from M.S.S.R. (M-BS-NBC) the first time for refusing to do my show now pay me my money?"
Uh, yeah?
What's the issue here wolf? Has it occurred to you, depending this is the defense he plans to prepare, how big of an asshole his lawyer Patty Glaser's gonna have to portray his as to win this case?
It's quite possible that, in the course of winning this case, Olbermann will prove everything "you all" have been saying about him with his own words?
That's worth $70 million if you ask me.
Sorry dude, I meant to say that The False Murrow was a douchebag. Please accept my apology if you thought I was referring to you.
No, what I meant was Olbermann's best chance to win this case is to have his lawyer go up there and explain that he has a history of ridiculous behavior and Current should have been prepared for that.
So basically he can get his $70 million by proving he's a massive douchebag as you put it. And I fail to see the issue with that.
"So basically he can get his $70 million by proving he's a massive douchebag as you put it. And I fail to see the issue with that."
I still don't see how somebody that is willing to prove how much of a deceitful, hateful, angry douchebag they are will actually pay off in the end. Remember, The False Murrow did sign a contract and did not honor it, from what I understand. If someone is hired to do a tv show and refuses to do so based upon a protest against his boss, then that employee is defying the basics of his negotiated contract. Now, if he has clauses in his contract that state that he can refuse to do his show due to creative differences, then he may have a case there. If not, then he is shit out of luck.
He willingly violated his contract in contempt of his employers so therefore he is not entitled to the $$$ left on the contract, pure and simple.
"He willingly violated his contract in contempt of his employers so therefore he is not entitled to the $$$ left on the contract, pure and simple."
Ask Johnny Dollar. He'll tell you that you'll never know what a judge/jury will decide.
"Ask Johnny Dollar. He'll tell you that you'll never know what a judge/jury will decide."
Yeah, that's true. But with that said, The False Murrow will have to convince that jury that since he violated the contract he signed (most likely he will argue that Al Gore is a predatory employer (when I mean that I am putting that in the context of what libs call "predatory lenders) who made him a victim and denied him his human birthright to have $70 million dollars.
Yeah. Current should have known what they were getting themselves into. But that's what happens when you let ideology trump reason.
They were blinded to Keith's obnoxiousness because they agreed with him politically.
Keith, though, also should have known what he was getting into. If you're going to a tiny network...can you really expect top of the line production?
It's like going to work on an independent film and acting shocked when they don't have access to the latest CGI technology.

Doesn't matter. Hell, even Jack Torrance signed a contract to watch over the Overlook Hotel until May the 1st and expressed what the consequences were if he broke that contract when Wendy wanted to take Danny to a doctor.
"Keith, though, also should have known what he was getting into. If you're going to a tiny network...can you really expect top of the line production?"
Last time I checked, this guy, according to his "loyal and dedicated fanbase," is not only Edward R. Murrow reborn, but is smarter than Albert Einstein, more patriotic than Hacksaw Jim Duggan and bigger balls than Evel Knievel.
We're not talking about creating a new world here, we're talking about news commentary. Even if Current does have its problems a man with this much talent (allegedly) can rise above it.
Not to mention the fact that all the evidence points to him doing absolutely nothing to work around these issues.

here is another reason why I think The False Murrow's lawsuit doesn't hold any water.
"New York State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Kapnick in Manhattan said "the clear, unambiguous language" of the 2004 agreement that brought Stern to what became Sirius XM prevented him from prevailing."
The False Murrow needs to put his money where his mouth is and show his contract so everyone can read what's actually in it. If he can show his diploma from Cornell Agriculture University to the world, then lets see this contract.
I hope he loses, just to see his reaction.
Will he demand the judge resign?
