Keith Olbermann fired from Current TV!

Couldn't have happened to a better piece of shit!

...

Keith Olbermann has been fired from Current TV, the network announced Friday.

?We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet. We are more committed to those goals today than ever before,? network co-founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt wrote in a letter to viewers. ?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.?

Olberman?s dismissal comes less than a year after he was hired by the network, following his firing from MSNBC.

His primetime show will be replaced starting Friday night by former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, whose CNN show was canceled last summer. Spitzer resigned from office in 2008 after he was implicated in a prostitution scandal. His show will be titled ?Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer.?

According to the New York Times, which first reported Olbermann?s firing, the decision to dismiss him was unanimous among the network?s senior executives.
