In the "Daily Caller" snarked Jim Treacher (PG Warning): "Have you heard about the document dump Friday afternoon What about the soul of the discharge, on Friday afternoon.?"
The problem is that when the time was not enough to bury the story at this time. PJMedia blogger Ed Driscoll, seemed locked at first, the details show the early afternoon on Friday.
In a statement, apparently written by Current TV founder Al Gore and trial lawyer Joel Hyatt, difficult access to the "progressive" (ie, hard-left), the cable channel has described Mr. Olbermann shooting in a noble moralists:
"We created this to give a voice to Americans who do not want to rely on corporate media, and search for the true progressive. We are more committed to this goal than ever before.
"Now is also based on the values of respect, openness, collegiality and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately, these values are not reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann, and we finished."
Double deviancy down, Current TV quickly replaced Mr. Olbermann with former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, starting with last night slot 20 hours of prime time. Patterico pontificates:
"[T Olbermann] will be replaced by a man who cheated on his wife with a prostitute."
So much for Current TV, a high spirit and high morality.
Anyway, after the disappearance of Mr. Olbermann was not unexpected. As FireDogLake, David Dayen there, Mr. Olbermann "now has the distinction of being fired almost every major news cable channel on TV -. CNN, MSNBC, and now the total he has never appeared on the news of Fox, but he worked at Fox Broadcasting, and was dismissed there. As he told ESPN, you can not stop it, you can not even hope to contain. "
One would expect the center-right online media writers and bloggers have been happily above the water of his evidence that the left wing hate rumors started hitting brick walls twins repulsion and disgust. "Daily Caller" Jim Treacher again:
"On behalf of Tucker Carlson, and everyone here at The Daily calling, I want to turn to Keith Olbermann in this troubled time. You do not have to decide anything right now, Kate, but we would be more than happy to offer you an internship."
Aaron Worthing ("allergic to the bull") is slightly more favorably:
"So now we get word that Keith Olberman [sic] was shot. Again. His audience must be devastated."
Current TV, Olbermann flap and its final stage, can hardly be a surprise to observers seeking television and media. A variety of sources, ranging from political and New York Times notes that the relationship with Mr. Olbermann evolving network is likely to have entered a spiral of death a few months ago. Person is known to be hypersensitive anchor / signed a lucrative $ 50-million contract with the network. But almost immediately took up arms against their new masters to rebel against low-cost form of modern games and supposed lack of professional skills of broadcasting equipment.
Objectively speaking, it seemed, at least some grounds for complaint, Mr. Olbermann. But then again, what can you expect from a cable channel beginning to reach a very small audience, whose budget is in the best case, the share of resources, deep pockets of his former employers at NBC / MSNBC?
It is reported that Mr. Olbermann seems to have worked himself into condition. This led to a series of sit-ins against the flow, as evidenced by Mr. Olbermann did not run for more releases in the National Assembly and primary schools have begun to build momentum in early 2012. He missed 19 of 41 working days in January and February, despoiling the current attempts to stop covering these events.
Mr. Olbermann repeated disappearances entered the territory of the last straw when he requested the vacation day on March 5, Super Tuesday. Demand seems, was not granted. But Mr. Olbermann took a day off in any case, it is clear network of courage to take action against him, he finally yesterday.
TPM quoted an internal source, which is pretty much confirmed it: "According to a source familiar with the situation, decided to let go now, because the progressive Olbermann [sic] learned man" does not meet modern audience, "Basically. Including dismissal, the source said: "sabotage network" and attack power and its leaders.
"The source added that Olbermann did not show up for work without a permit, available for almost half of their working day in January and February. Olbermann asked to leave on 5 March, the night before Super Tuesday, the source said. He said it would be a violation if he took a vacation, making Olbermann. "
Mr. Olbermann also did not agree with the last President of Current TV, David Bohrman, whose ex-watched with growing suspicion. Mr. Bohrman began to fill the current front-office types with CNN, and apparently pushed the players do not have devices, such as Bill Press, and Mr. Spitzer to appear on Mr. Olbermann show, using it as a "guinea pig, to try out new talent, "according to the policy.
It is not known as a wall, the flower itself, Mr. Olbermann said on Current TV yesterday with his comments in the Twitter-verse. "Hot Air" has been transformed Allahpundit key elements such as:
"I want to apologize to my fans and my staff for refusing to Current TV. Editors, counting has never been better. But over the years, I asked Al Gore @ @ JoelHyatt and solve our problems at home, while I did not know about my complaints, and keeping the show alive for the benefit of its loyal viewers and the staff is even more true. Nevertheless, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt, instead of their promises and commitments and investments in the quality of news programs, in the end thought it is more economical to try to break its contract. It almost goes without saying that claims to me in the current reporting false and will be shown, if the trial I will be filing against them now. To understand Mr. Hyatt "values, respect, openness, collegiality and loyalty, I recommend you read the M case. Hyatt was in court unfairly dismissed employee. The name of this officer was Clarence B. Cain: http://nyti.ms/HueZsa Over time, the truth of ethics, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt will be released. At this point, it is important to recognize that once again to join them were well-intentioned and sincere gesture on my part, but looking back, is nonsense. This lack of common sense and my only mine, and I once again apologize for it.
It is unclear what, if any, long-term consequences of this person will knock on the decline in his career, Mr. Olbermann or on Current TV. Portfolio of individual cable channel and the business suffers, it seems, to put it on the same path as his predecessor down the radio, the deceased hard left "Air America" network.
In the "Air America", Current TV attracts a small number of viewers for its propaganda, it is very predictable and bluster. To make matters worse, at least in some markets (such as this writer), the main audience is actually the cable will have to pay extra to get the current package of TV, which is associated with the observation of higher prices, even though their programs can sometimes be seen free of charge on request delayed release.
In addition to all the characteristics of the "duel syndrome miracle", the latter component also calls into question both the wisdom and the vaunted business acumen of the former Vice President Al Gore Having failed to win the President in 2000 due to the failure of his blatant attempt to game tells only vote in the the walls of the Florida favorable, Mr. Gore spent the next eight years as obviously a bad loser, a vicious sniping at the Bush administration, almost all occasions.
Meanwhile, former vice president began to grow, which later turned out a massive "global warming" - "climate change" hoax scientist, will be greatly enriched by the adoption of its "green" investment companies. He drew his undeserved Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote. But his "established science" take a dive when the devastating series of letters to leave the hacked servers used by leading climate scientists has shown that the perceived research climate was bad, fatally compromised.
Having failed in his attempt to once again initiate this massive environmental sham (and probably lost his wife in the process), Mr. Gore is trying to redeem himself by creating a propaganda mill left over cable TV output current, apparently unaware of how and why "Air America" is not a business model similar to the promotion of such materials. At the same time, he may have unwittingly become the poster boy for the media at a loss, but today is a rich and socialist political elite do not seem able to learn from their mistakes.
As if to prove this point, Mr. Gore has recently contributed to the reviews from the media during a recent meeting in Austin, SXSW, the promotion of "" Wiki-democracy "digital flash mobs shouting the truth" and "seat of government, which holds people accountable . "Ironically, he and others in jest," the dominant role of television in elections and political dialogue. " We can assume that "the rule" not to lose their money Current TV.
Meanwhile, in another context, the conservative Rush Limbaugh radio bump deflates after the left wing left-wing agitators trying to whisper in the air, increasing its audience in the process.
