Keith Olbermann--Fired Again!

TV writer Ken Levine reports on his blog that mercurial Liberal commentator Keith Olbermann has been fired from his latest network, Current TV.   Olbermann had been at the network that was co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore for less than a year after losing the job that brought him the most fame, hosting countdown at MSNBC.  Previously a sportscaster, Olbermann had also worked for ESPN and Fox Sportsnet.

Olbermann Exits MSNBC

Keith Olbermann, the erudite, but emotional commentator on MSNBC has left the cable network. Beginning in the wake of the 9/11 attacks when it was uncommon for a television figure to question the Bush administration, Olbermann delivered poignant attacks on the Republican Party. His "Worst Person In The World" segment became something of a "badge of honor" for Right Wing figures. What separated Olbermann from Right-Wing partisans on Fox News and the like is that Democrats were not safe from his rhetorical attacks. Olbermann aired scathing attacks on Hilary Clinton during her campaign against Obama and more recently, the President himself. In style, Olbermann seemed to borrow from classic newsmen Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite with a little of the fictional "Howard Beel" thrown in. He was originally a sports journalist.
