In reply to the discussion: BREAKING.....Current TV Dismisses Keith Olbermann [View all]MrMickeysMom
(20,453 posts)I was a strong follower of that show because of Olbermann. I can tell you that I enjoy listening to additional line up, but if I wanted everyone on Current to be the same, I would have stayed with MSNBC, where it seemed that pushing slightly over bland mixed well with some intelligent commentary attracted, yet did not offend enough viewers. Safe....
What I feel many want and what I wanted and was energetically portrayed by that crazy uncle I invited into my living room, which wasn't necessarily safe and non-offending. I don't feel reality is portrayed appropriately unless you have someone like your crazy uncle make a point CRYSTAL clear, as Olbermann often did.
Current had, just the very week of Keith's firing, shown the movie, "Network"... The character who everyone understood and was the soul of that movie, Howard Beal, is exactly why I have connected so well when awaiting what story people will be talking about, a la Keith Olbermann.
Somebody thinks we don't need a Howard Beal, apparently. That's a damn shame. I think we need him more than EVER now...
We had it in Olbermann, and it will not helped this network, who apparently appreciated the movie, "Network".
Al Gore, you didn't fight for the worst mistake made when the SCOTUS and Florida stole that fucking election, which left us in the dump. How are you going to recover from this shrinking violet mistake?
