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?

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.

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 network’s 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.

Should I put CurrentTV on my Dead Pool 2012 list?

he nearly lost star anchor Keith Olbermann

There is no way this woman, Rebecca Dana, wrote the article without laughing her a** off.

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...

I tried to read the article. About 1/3 of the way through I stopped caring.

This would be funny except the deep feeling that somehow, some way, this money came from me.

An equity share in Current TV? Is that like the sound of one hand clapping?

Presented with this account, Current president David Bohrman told Newsweek, “Keith is a unique guy.”

Translation: "Keith is prima donna jacka$$ who is not worth anywhere near what we're paying him, and we wish we had never met him."

Pretty funny that Algore is pinning the success of his puny network on one of the biggest liberal divas in the US.

These two All-Stars of Humanity, so good at telling the rest of us how to live our lives and be friends with all mankind, can’t even get along with each other - what jokes.....
