Oh my GOd. A honeymoon between Al Gore and Keith Olbermann.
MY EYES!
This should be rated XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Two leftist assholes on a honeymoon. That’s the end of civilization as we know it.

Olberfart is their STAR anchor? hahahahahahahaha
Who sees Current TV?
I have never seen it, and just barely heard of it.
Is it just a cable channel? one of 99 or more?

Save current TV from WHAT?
I've tried to find it (just to see what it's all about) with no luck. Is it just a cult thingie for mushy GW believers?

Absolutely, morons to waste that kind of money on a no- choice desperate over the hill Olbermann. Only time I ever watched Current TV was a live webcam of Burning Man a few years ago. They did a nice job by doing nothing.

If you take the time to read the article it really is a good look into the twisted psyche of the left. Hysteria, paranoia, feelings of superiority and epic failure all rolled into one.

The former VPs Current TV is struggling to catch on...
I've been assiduously avoiding watching, or even stopping on, anything to do with grifter Gore.
That means passing up Bar Karma, which may have been an interesting show, save for it being GoreTV.

Current us available here on cable, but in a premier or deluxe package. No way would I shell out a hundred more a month for this trash.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Al is competing in a pretty crowded field.
All the MSM is spouting the same talking points.
Same reason AirAmerica failed.

Accustomed to the flashy graphics and slick broadcasts of MSNBC, Olbermann balked at the cheap sets and lo-fi production values at the scrappy Current. Ensconced in his New York office, the star ignored emails from the networks West Coast executives. He wanted them to invest more on the technical side, and he wanted more authority in other areas of the network, including personnel decisions. He was also upset about his car service. Gore and his partners had shelled out for a star; now, it seemed, the star owned them.
This reads like comedy.

So I guess Al - Elmer Gantry - Gore isn’t doing well when he can’t dip his paw into the government trough....or use his position as a “public servant” as leverage.
It disgusts me that any of them have this much money to throw around but at least Olbermann is making his money the old fashioned way...by screwing someone out of their personal money.

...Executives feared an ugly, public fight. The prospects were potentially ruinous for Current...
Who would know? Who would care? Olbermann throws a tantrum everywhere he goes...so what?
I read the entire article and this is but one example of the cluelessness of the people involved in this venture.
HEY!!!! I KNOW!!!! Let's start a liberal news network...nobody's ever done that before!!!
Idiots with money...
