It's official: the Gore-Olbermann channel lives

If they spin the wheel fast enough it might burst in flames.! Lets hope so.

Is this “Jumping the Shark” or the “Jumping the Goracle” moment for Olbermann?

Igor, combining our taxpayer money & mystical powers, we’ve created a channel from the dead!
It’s ALIVE! It’s ALIVE! Hahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!

It’s amazing that the two most pompous people on the planet could find each other.

A wonderful fit. Olberman, who never lets actual facts control or even influence his opinions, combined with Gore who believes facts are whatever matches his predetermined agenda.
Also a good fit in that Olberman is such a pompous, dishonest fool he makes Gore seem logical, reasonable and intelligent by comparison. I am not sure anyone else could accomplish that.

I willing to bet that whoever wrote “Keith Olbermann, the acclaimed broadcaster and writer whose verbal pyrotechnics and moral passion have outraged, informed, and dazzled viewers ….” is still balled up in the shower with a brillo pad.

Even though I enjoy the snerking on this topic (’cause I’ve despised both Algore and the Olbermann since first they furunculated in the public eye), I think we’re missing a chance to look speculatively at the aspects of this marriage-made-in-Marxism for indicators of trends in public opinion.
It has been observed that for MSNBC, Olbermann had become a valuable commercial property. In July, MSNBC management informed that Olbermann’s “Countdown” program was their highest-rated offering, and that despite slippages in audience share among key demographic groups, Olbermann’s show was considered a great asset to the network.
This notwithstanding, when it was announced on 5 November 2010 that:

MSNBC host Keith Olbermann was put on indefinite suspension Friday after bosses at the cable news network learned that he had donated to three Democratic candidates, including one who had appeared on his show on the same day, in violation of the network’s rules.

.
…the decision taken so soon after the 2 November 2010 landslide which put an end to the National Socialist Democrat American Party (NSDAP) dominance in the U.S. House of Representatives, and resulted in massive legislative and executive changes in state governments all over the nation, gives reason to conclude that the MSNBC leadership had finally marked Olbermann as more of a deadweight than an engine of profitability.
Probably because Olbermann’s ratings slippage had earlier been showing up in what the evening broadcast advertisers consider the key demographic, working people ages 25 to 54 years.
The question now to be examined is whether the actual and potential viewership of Algore’s grope for the botched and the gullible – Current TV – will be increased by the addition of Olbermann’s presence both before the camera and behind the scenes at this floundering excuse for a media outlet.
In June 2010, Reuters reported on the various financial and management problems Current TV was facing, and observed:

As far back as 2007, it was clear to Current management that for all its faith in the programing concept it had an untenable business model. With significant stakes in the company and anxious investors looking for an exit strategy, Hyatt and Gore began looking for buyers that had pockets deep enough to support it.

.
I am willing to consider the notion that this “stakeholder” arrangement with Olbermann is part of a scheme to put enough lipstick on the Current TV pig to make the previously planned but aborted IPO sufficiently remunerative that Algore and his confreres can get out from under, leaving their barely-breathing porker to die on somebody else’s front yard.
In short, Olbermann is a shuck, having been dumped by MSNBC management in the wake of the great public opinion polls of 2 November 2010. He’d been losing market share for several quarters preceding the mid-term elections, and the slaughter of the National Socialists gave strong proof that the future of “Liberal” fascism on broadcast television was down beyond the U-bend.
So what else to do with the Olbermann corpse before it rots away completely?
Why, prop it up someplace where the botched and the gullible – always Algore’s most reliable supporters – could come and watch it twitch, giving the illusion that the venue was a proper place for fools and idiots to sink the “stimulus” currency flooded into the U.S. economy by our Punahou Poverty Pimp excuse for a lawful President of these United States.
Like most confidence games, it’s not all that complicated when you lift the hood and check out the machinery underneath. Think of Algore as your typical used car salesman, and the job’s half done.

Time to break out those old “Sore Loserman” 2000 stickers and shirts.

I liked Olberman much more as a sportscaster. At least when he was making fun of sports figures, he had targets that were closer to his level.
