Olbermann v. Gore: who will you root for?

13. I like both of them.

As I commented in other threads:

I think the problems stem from the fact that Keith is a perfectionist with high moral ethics.

If Keith gave them hell, it was for a good reason. If I remember correctly, Keith was promised a lot of things by Current TV; they didn't deliver as promised. That's not something Keith would excuse.

I stand by Keith regardless of what happened. If not for him, MSNBC would have only "Hardball" on its programming. Keith opened a huge door for progressives.

Keith got along just fine at MSNBC until Comcast took over & started leaning on him. He admits he made a mistake going to Current-TV. I suspect he puts a lot of work into his nightly shows & it must have been frustrating that he could get only a fraction of the audience he was getting on MSNBC. Current-TV's executives should have made more of an effort to have its network broadcasted on more cable outlets.

Getting out of two difficult situations spaced closely together doesn't necessarily amount to a KO problem. He's a perfectionist who gives us an impeccable performance with every program: the content, the writing, the production. His was the only newscast I looked forward to; everyone else that I watch doesn't come close to being as entertaining or thought-provoking as Keith Olbermann.

Seeing how many are so easily influenced, I'm afraid that any news spin that takes hold against Keith could prevent anyone else from hiring him. Wildfires are hard to put out. How sad for us.

I'll never forget what Keith Olbermann has done for us. I couldn't care less that he had issues with his co-workers.
