A Message from Keith Olbermann (from Current TV site)
(snip)

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. 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.

1. Unfettered news outlet is great, I wish him the best.
Unfortunately, the basic cable package is way to expensive and going to an extended package is out of the question.

The march for free-speech will go with my ears only hearing the youtube clips. I shouldn't complain, those will probably be the best parts.

4. My concern is Rachael, Ed, and Lawrence
If something on Current TV comes up against Rachael, Lawrence or Ed. Perhaps they will all go to Current TV in the future.

6. Keith had 3,000 "Like" on FB and loads of Tweets. This is going
to be huge. Current has made a very savvy move here. They will be a playah!

9. Keith said a couple months ago that he does NOT have a FB page. Only twitter.

Here is his Current TV page: http://current.com/keith-olbermann/

Also two days before Keith left MSNBC he registered two new websites
www.TheKeithOlbermannShow.com
www.TheOlbermannShow.com

but those two are NOT up and running yet.
