Al Gore's cable network has fired Keith Olbermann, with this to say

quote:

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.

Keith has fired off his countershot, finishing with

quote:

In due course, the truth of the ethics of Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt will come out. For now, it is important only to again acknowledge that joining them was a sincere and well-intentioned gesture on my part, but in retrospect a foolish one. That lack of judgment is mine and mine alone, and I apologize again for it.

Popcorn and cider. I don't care who loses, I just want to watch the catfight.

Expect the media to have some fun with Current's line about honoring its values given Eliot Spitzer's past troubles with staying on the straight and narrow.

Ok. So that explains what has been going on with Count Down. But the story to which you linked doesn't mention who the new news director will be. Olberman held that title as well and was actually the first news director Current hired.
