Countdown with Keith Olbermann RETURNS!

YES!! The time is almost here. The moment every liberal has been waiting for... The Return of Countdown,  starring Keith Olbermann!!

Ryan and I have been waiting for this day for quite some time, especially since we're right around the corner from the 2012 Presidential Election, where the fate of our nation will remain in the hands of our current President, Barack Obama, or a Republican candidate that I can almost guarantee, will send our nation back 50-60 years.



Countdown premieres tonight on CURRENT TV at 7:00 PM Central Time.  His first guests will include Michael Moore and Daily Kos chief Markos Moulitsas, so make sure to check it out.

Keith Olbermann to Gain Control of Current TV's Entire News Department

Keith Olbermann comes back with a bang.  Not only did he manage to come away with the launching of a new  prime-time show in late spring - he's going to be running the show.  I don't mean just his show, but the whole entire news department at CURRENT TV.

 

According to the Daily Beast,

"He can donate to any political candidates he wants. On a conference call with reporters, Gore said he considered such contributions to be part of his employees’ “freedom of speech,” and Olbermann said that “our obligation to the viewer is to disclose.”

Olbermannn says his new show will be a far better program than the one he had at MSNBC, “an improved and we hope amplified and stronger version of the show I just did.”

After reading a few news sources, they all indicated that MSNBC and Olbermann had agreed to not disparge each other for a limited time.  Olbermann says he will discuss the NBC debacle at a later date.  And something else I didn't know... CURRENT TV reaches only 60 million people, but that's slightly more households than MSNBC held when Olbermann debuted his show in 2003.  We can't forget that Olbermann turned MSNBC into what it is today.  And I have no doubt he will do the same for CURRENT TV.  Ryan and I will be sure to get on the bandwagon as soon as we possibly can.   Hell, I introduced Ryan into politics and Keith Olbermann.  Then when that woman, Rachel Madcow launched her own show (with Keith's help) he started watching her too.

Olbermann Returning as Quickly as He Left MSNBC

Slowly, but surely all news organizations will be abuzz about the return of Keith Olbermann to the political pundit scene.  In late breaking news Monday night, The New York Times is reporting that Olbermann will announce tomorrow that he will be joining Al Gore and company at Current TV. 

According to the Times, the domain name of TheOlbermannShow.com was registered two days before his on-air announcement that he was leaving MSNBC.

This could be more like the deal Oprah Winfrey and Discovery Communications struck for her new cable network, OWN.  How the show will premiere or air is unknown at this time, but I'm sure we will hear all about it tomorrow, and I will keep all you posted.
