I find it very peculiar that Current TV is the only channel with interference or bad reception in my entire cable package.

I wonder if those fake tv networks are funded with pac and think tank money like how they buy up right wing books to get them on best seller lists. I just can't imagine that those networks can be profitable in the world of all the free right wing propaganda you can possibly consume.

Oh, but don't worry. He took the time to make sure the Vanguard team- the journalists that actually knew what the fark they were doing- got unceremoniously marched out en masse first, G4TechTV-style.

Kazan: The_Sponge: Remember when Olbermann was likeable? Or as I like to call it, 1997.

back when he was a conservative you mean? before the assholes he worked with at Fox News made him re-evaluate his political leanings?

perhaps you show do the same thing. you're getting all the benefits of a society you shiat all over every time you vote... so perhaps you should either remove yourself from said society, or start voting to keep that society functioning.

Olbermann their director of news content... i seriously doubt he's having a dispute with them.

Wow over the top. I think he was talking about when was a SportsCenter anchor (at least that's when I liked him).

I've noticed the same thing - it actually looks like a webcast.

I used to like him. But then he turned into a left-wing version of O'Reilly/Hannity/Limbaugh. Now he's just a giant self-absorbed douche-bag that few people can tolerate. Too bad because he's a talented guy.

They should replace him with Chris Gaines.

Yeah, here's a link to the piece she won it for. And here's her reporting on African soccer prospects that wind up duped, stranded in Europe, and often in the sex industry. And here's her breaking the story on the Ugandan kill-the-gays bill.

That is who Current got rid of in the wake of Olbermann signing on.

(Among other things, you will note she is very scarf-intensive.)

Far as I'm concerned: done. You want your 'liberal equivalent of Fox News', conservatives? Here it is. Knock yourselves out. Have fun.

So, this is a Chicago Tribune article based on a New York Times article that was based on speculation which has been denied by Olberman & Current. Great journalism.

Gosling: Far as I'm concerned: done. You want your 'liberal equivalent of Fox News', conservatives?

There already are liberal slanting news stations. They're called NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNBC, etc, etc.

a dream TV show of arrogant blowhards:

olbermann
adam carolla
dennis miller
bill mahre

he is a useless douchebag.

that is all.

Shaggy_C: There already are liberal slanting news stations. They're called NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNBC, etc, etc.

No, Fox News is just so far to the right that they all seem left by comparison. You know how Mitt Romney looks like the liberal one in the primary race? Same basic principle.

Shaggy_C: CNBC

Really?

They're like Fox with uglier women.

"That is all"? Is that all? I mean, that is all you came here to say? To add nothing but only to offer a, well, useless, frankly, opinion of someone?

How is your post not useless and how does it make you anything other than a douchebag? God, but you are a sorry, tiresome little twit of a person. I'm not even an Olberman fan - more a fan of TV host meltdowns, etc. - but your post is just nothing but the shaking of tiny angry fists.

Were you molested by a liberal talk show host? Were you not, but wanted to be?

Goddamn, I am sorry I even gave you this much attention - but since attention is something that people like you feel entitled to, here you go. You're another one of these piffle-people, flitting around through life wanting a participation trophy. You don't want to have to actually formulate and express an idea - you just want to post something and pretend that it's an idea. You want to pretend your childishly expressed, simplistic opinion is the same thing as a supported expression of an actual thought. You think your ignorance is a perfectly valid belief system deserving of a forum. You want people to read your idiocies in order that you might feel - for just a moment - like you matter to someone, like your life has a shred of meaning.

Kill yourself before you breed, please, for the good of all mankind.

Good riddance. There's enough propaganda in the world.

Thanks. Wasn't sure it would work in print. I mean, I meant every last word, but I wanted a nice frothy "special commentary" style rant.

A Communist nation kidnapped a Vanguard reporter in 2009. Try again.

FTA:
"As Current TV turns itself into a channel for liberal talk, it is turning away from its original source for news, a critically acclaimed documentary unit called ''Vanguard.''

Great. Current TV: We're not going to do all that hard stuff like reporting - just believe what we say is true. Sorta, right?

There are reasons not to like Olbermann, but him standing up to management buffoons isn't one of them.

gshepnyc: that is all you came here to say?

ok, I will add, one thing.

You are a useless douchebag as well.

happy now?

Logweasel: Wendy's Chili: I find it very peculiar that Current TV is the only channel with interference or bad reception in my entire cable package.

It's because they aren't in HD and they're using digital cameras for everything. Standard res television looks like absolute crap these days. It's OK though, since no one watches it.
