Olbermann gets 'Current'
It was announced Tuesday that liberal lightning rod Keith Olbermann will anchor a prime time new/commentary show on the cable network Current TV.
Olbermann, who abruptly left MSNBC two weeks ago, will begin his show "later in 2011," according to a statement from Current TV.
The die-hard liberal will also serve as chief news officer and have an equity stake in Current Media, which was co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore.
"Nothing is more vital to a free America than a free media, and nothing is more vital to my concept of a free media than news produced independently of corporate interference," Olbermann said. "In Current Media, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have created the model truth-seeking entity. The opportunity to partner with Al, Joel and Mark Rosenthal makes this the most exciting venture in my career."
