There was a time when Keith Olbermann was clever in espousing his very liberal views. I stopped watching when his viciousness and anger became downright uncomfortable to watch and his commentary dominated by vitriol rather than thought. Now comes word he is – yet again – “disgruntled” with his gig at Al Gore’s Current TV.

In the television industry, Mr. Olbermann is well known for fights with his bosses; stories abound about his refusal to speak to managers and executives. At Current, this behavior has continued, according to four people with knowledge of the situation, one of whom described Mr. Olbermann as “disgruntled.”
