Former MSNBC personality Keith Olbermann has been named chief news officer on Current-TV, the cable network started by Al Gore. Olbermann will host a nightly "news" and commentary show according to the network's websitewhere he "will lead" the programming slate.
"Nothing is more vital to a free America than a free media, and nothing is more vital to my concept of a free media than news produced independently of corporate interference," said Olbermann in statement.
Olbermann's compensation will include equity in Current Media, the corporate owners of Current-TV

Is “Current Media” a Web site or does it broadcast on Cable? If on Cable, what Cable companies carry it, if any?

The name “Current-TV” is very appropriate for the kind of stuff that floats in the current of a sewer pipe. Most of its
content probably smells the same way.

If Olbermann has an opinion and nobody cares, is it still an opinion ?

Cable access isn't exactly a "TV" job.

They claim to be a real TV network with actual channels and everything.
I never saw it.

Directv has it. It took me about two days to block it when it made it to the channel line up. And that was before I knew anything about Gore's involvement.

I know that where I’m at Brighthouse has it, but you have to get the DVR package to get it.
I watched it once when I didn’t know what it was. Lots of opinion from college kids and agenda driven “journalists.” You know, the backbone of America.

"Nothing is more vital to a free America than a free media..." said Olbermann in statement.
Keith is absolutely right about that. And nothing is more vital to free media than free choice. So, Keith, the game is on. We'll see how long you survive.

I’m sure Tipper isn’t watching for content now, she is watching to see how well it goes for when she goes to her attorney for alimony! But, Al will have to give yer and IOU on this one. I wonder how much she will receive from Als internet invention, by the way?

Excellent, another way to redistribute the ill-gotten wealth of Internet Inventor Al Gore.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.
