In reply to the discussion: BREAKING.....Current TV Dismisses Keith Olbermann [View all]whathehell
(29,065 posts)but I'm not "kicking him (Keith) to the curb"...My frustration and that of others
really STEMS from the fact that we LIKE him and we want him to "like" us enough
to, ..I don't know...Show up for work more?...Maybe not get canned repeatedly
so we're unable to see him?.
Truthfully, anyone who took off as MUCH time as Keith did, would have been canned
long ago....His unreliablity in that area was a problem at MSNBC too.
After he was fired at MSNBC, the word from the station was "You never knew, on any given day,
whether he would show up for work or not".....People paying you a multi-million
dollar salary are not going to put up with that shit, and that's just a fact!
It's true that we don't, as you said "know the whole story", but virtually EVERYONE
who has worked with him says he's got a big ego and is highly "tempermental".
I think he has inner demons, as many of us do...That being said, he needs
to either demolish them or learn to "handle" them if he wants a career in broadcast.
