Al Gore Fires Keith Olbermann at Current TV, Replaces Him With Client #9

Because even a disgraced former governor who was caught paying for sex is preferable to Keith Olbermann (from the NYT and Breitbart):
In a letter to viewers, the channel said Friday: “We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet. We are more committed to those goals today than ever before.

Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it.”

Mr. Olbermann will not be given an opportunity to sign off. Starting Friday night, the former New York governor Eliot Spitzer will replace him at 8 p.m., according to the letter to viewers. His program will be titled “Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer.”
Apparently Olbermann didn't play well with others.

UPDATE:  Olbermann has a Twitter meltdown and threatens legal action.
