Another messy breakup for the cable news bad boy Keith Olbermann, the anchorman both loved and loathed1 for his on and off era that he has just been canned, and this time it’s a former vice2 president of the United States of America who gave him the boot. And Olbermann is now suing. Our Ron Clayboard is back with that story. Ron, good morning.
Sounds like de javu, doesn’t it?
Yes
Well, Olbermann is one of the most controversial TV host in the country and oh, he’s done it this time again, clashing with the management of former president Al
Gore3’s liberal cable channel where he was working, that’s right, was as in the past tense.
Brandy Mean from New York, this is a good scene, black a drain deal, liberal Keith Olbermann on Al Gore’s progressive channel current, but the countdown to a nightmare took less than a year. It would be comical if it were not
tragic4, Olbermann fired again, in a very public
spat5 with his bosses. Al Gore and his partner saying in
stark6 language that they founded their network on values of respect, openness, collegiality and
loyalty7 to our viewers, unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann.
It’s surprising to watch Al Gore who swore he knew how to handle Keith Olbermann,
essentially8 throw in the towel(stop trying to do something because you realize you can’t succeed.) and say, he and current TV don’t line up any more.
But Olbermann is not going quietly, saying in a tweet that he’ll sue, claiming the
accusations9 are “untrue and will be proven so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently”. Reportedly getting $50 million for 5 years, Olbermann complained about technical problems, then he missed days at work. But tension is nothing new for him.
“This advice Mr. Bush, shut the hell up.”
Considered one of the smartest, he’s also one of the most temperamental
personalities10 on television.
“You’re a
fascist11, get them to print you a T-shirt with fascist on it.”
Getting into fights with bosses and leaving in half is sort of what makes him tick, so that’s why it wasn’t altogether surprising when he left.
But unlike at MSNBC,
“In the
mundane12 world of television goodbyes, reality is laughably uncooperative.”
Olbermann didn’t get to say goodbye to his latest countdown audience, his
replacement13 laid into the seat was barely unmentioned.
“Good evening, I’m Eliot Spitzer, welcome to current new APM show Viewpoint. “
