Keith Olbermann: The Story Is Starting To Sag
Posted on January 25, 2012 in Articles
The Article: The Keith Olbermann Saga’s Starting to Get Kind of Sad by Adam Estes in The Atlantic.
The Text: Keith Olbermann looks like he’s made nice with his bosses at Current for now, but his war with The New York Times is scrappy as ever. The Countdown host took to Twitter in familiar fashion on Sunday night first to announce that he’ll be “running the election coverage on Current, after New Hampshire” and immediately lit into Times writer David Carr who, Olbermann said several times, “got his facts wrong” in his latest column. After Olbermann’s tussle with Carr’s coworker and Page One co-star Brian Stelter last week, it would appear that he’s particularly obsessed wit the New York Times media desk.
The news itself is pretty mundane. After crossing his arms and refusing to cover the Iowa caucuses for Current — the startup network’s technical troubles were the cause of the protest — Olbermann will lead the election coverage from here on out, at least after Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary. While the cable news star took Stelter to task over the adjective “disgruntled”, it’s the distinction between the verb “participating” and “running” that’s upset Olbermann’s this time.
