Current TV Dumps Olbermann
Apparently his arrogance was too much even for them.

Current TV Dismisses Keith Olbermann - NYTimes.com

Quote:
6:10 p.m. | Updated Current TV said Friday afternoon that it had terminated the contract of its lead anchor, Keith Olbermann, scarcely a year after he was hired to reboot the fledgling channel in his progressive political image.

The cable channel indicated that he had failed to honor the terms of his five-year, $50 million contract, giving the channel the right to terminate it. Starting Friday night, the former New York Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer will take over Mr. Olbermann’s 8 p.m. time slot.

In a stream of Twitter messages, Mr. Olbermann responded to Current’s announcement by stating that “the claims against me in Current’s statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently.”

Olbermann will keep moving down the media food chain and in five years will be hawking chintzy exercise equipment on late night paid programing. In retrospect, it's a good thing he isn't a woman, or he would end up selling phone sex.
