Flag Of Keithvenience.

Welcome back.

ah nice.... the open mouth... insert foot guy is back?

A pretty good example for needing unions, embellished or not.

downstairs: So he went from having his own prime time show on a pretty damn big cable network to a goofy blog? I think this dude needs better agents and handlers.

I think he's getting paid for the length of his contract, and is thus forbidden by the terms of the settlement to host a similar program.

I would like to see him use this to change how news is being reported and treated, in the days of 24hr news cycles and webnews/blogs. Someone like him cando alot, even with a blog. We shall see...

Keith's smart. He's obviously talking to a lot of web savvy people on his direction. In today's age, you start news media empires with simple blogs, grow and cultivate a following and expand. You don't just start off with a website the way Tucker Carlson did. Thats why his failed and continues to fail.

Its like the way musicians start in the "underground", doing local shows, concerts and mixtapes. You get word of mouth going.

I'm sure he's going to be depending on sites like Fark to spread his gospel - this is just the kickoff.

Also, I'm pretty sure he now has a total % in truTV or whatever network he's going to be on so he ain't worried about $$.

/I think Keith has an unhealthy obsession with Fox News.

soy_bomb: /I think Keith America has an unhealthy obsession with Fox News.

I'm pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed reading that - KO always struck me as a blowhard on TV, (excluding his sports related work - loved that stuff) but I guess I'll add his twitter account to my feed and i might even give his next show a watch

2wolves: Without Fail: soy_bomb: /I think Keith America has an unhealthy obsession with Fox News.

That's ok, Spongebob still kicks Fox News to the curb ratings wise.

And has more intelligent viewers. And characters.

They settled and there's a no-compete clause for a few months.

Plus he's already signed to Al Gore's channel. Current, I think.

Your Blog Sucks

One need only look at how ESPN was started to see crappy cable channel turn into media empire. Its possible Olbermann has this model in mind, start small but with fewer ownership issues they had with GE/NBC/Comcrap

"Comcrap" owns a percentage of Current TV.

He's back... In pog form.

I see Keith still has large penis envy. I guess if my penis was the size of a 3 months old little peepee, I would have Fox envy also.

That was so clever.

You said "penis" twice.

Awesome.

Nice story, but you work at the convenience of your boss, not the other way around.

Who wanted him back?

Penman: Nice story, but you work at the convenience of your boss, not the other way around.

Circular logic is circular logic is circular.

Well it would be nice if I could tell my boss "Fark off" when I don't want to work, and still be paid for not working.

But you can't because he's your boss, which is also why you can't tell him to fark off.

All that changes when you're in a union.

now if Cumcast/MSNBC could figure out a way to buy the Internet so they can kick him off that too.


Well done Keith!

I suspect he'll be back to spewing incendiary comments attempting to generate outrage and attention for his activities, just like every other talking head.

dude's obsessed

Then why does any company contractually agree to that?

Why do employees join union shops when there are non-union alternatives available? Why do managers join union shops, knowing that they will be bound by the company's contractual agreements?

Finally, and most importantly, why is it ok for a hundred people to band together as a company, make a widget and sell it for the highest price the market will bear, while it's not ok for a hundred people to band together as a company to provide labor for the highest price the market will bear?

this is what Kieth Olbermann actually believes. a clip from his post.

"You've seen the lengths to which the Corporatists/Tea Partiers will go to manipulate the media and pervert the coverage of the protests by pulling something straight out of the Mubarak playbook and shutting down internet sites. Maybe you've seen the scheme to actually infiltrate the Wisconsin protests with Tea Partiers pretending to be violent, hateful union members. But maybe you haven't seen the larger plan to "bot" web comment boards and even Twitter and Facebook with computer-generated right wingers with sufficient back stories to make them seem real."

David Letterman told us all that Keith has an enormous head.

Because the union gets in everywhere and locks out non-union workers. Labor is between a company and an employee. Unions are just legalized thuggery.

Just think the bad puns the world would've been spared if Keith's boss' drunken boss had been allowed to fire him. Oh, if only...

When Toyota signs a contract for a brakes from Midwest Hydrolics, a contract exists between two companies.

Is that legalized thuggery? If not, why not? Bob who built dozens of those brakes has lost his ability to directly negotiate with Toyota for their sale because of that contract.

Why is a contract for labor between a city and it's police any different?

Familiarize yourself with psychological projection.

OMG. He's still a loon!

P.S. It was the libtard station MSNBC that fired you. Not Fox. You need to get over them.
