Keith Olbermann is the kind of person who is unfailingly himself at all times. Whether on television or in interviews, he never seems like he's putting us on, and he's gained a huge, dedicated fanbase for being an unwavering, concise, passionate, intense and sometimes outrageous person.
But when "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" returns to the small screen tonight, the show will be more “Olbermann” than ever. Armed with the new freedom that comes from broadcasting on an independent station like Al Gore’s Current TV, Olbermann will be able to more comfortably express himself. Which is not to say he was hemmed in too much at MSNBC. Earlier this month, he told Rolling Stone that they never censored him. (“What were they going to do about it? It was live,” said Olbermann. “I will say this. Nobody ever said: If you say this, you're going to be fired.")
But a quick glance at his new roster of contributors hints that the resurrected "Countdown" is stretching out in its newly broad boundaries. For one, comedian Richard Lewis -- the acerbic Brooklynite known for his all-black outfits and sniping sarcasm -- is scheduled to be a regular on the show. “Comedians,” Olbermann told Rolling Stone, “are the only ones paid to tell the truth in public discourse. Everybody else—politicians, news broadcasters, religious figures—we're all paid to be oracles, when in fact we are like a good public-relations man. A good public-relations man keeps you away from the public, and if you have relations, he keeps that hidden.”
Yet Olbermann’s own “public-relations” contributors, in the journalism category, each have their own strength at truthtelling. Michael Moore is on the team, as is Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi, and Ken Burns. And in a new promo spot for Current, Olbermann suggests that he’s one of the keepers of the truth, too. “The free flow of information has been thwarted...and for every story there’s a flurry of heavily biased, corporate-sponsored spin, that can distract even the most engaged viewer,” he says, a rousing piano riff playing beneath him. “And every day, we’re all left with a bit less clarity...until now.”
Indeed, Olbermann does seem to feel liberated in his new home, telling Rolling Stone:
“I can't say anything I want; there will be some things I'm sure I'll have to temper. But I can't think of any of them off the top of my head, and when I encounter them, it will be like, ‘Crap, that was the first one in eight months.’ That's why I view this as the biggest step-up of my career. The instantaneous reaction to this was, ‘He's going into the far wilderness.’ No, it's virgin forest, and I own it, and I'm bringing a house with me. I have the opportunity to rebuild it better and start looking for people to do the next hour and the next hour, the whole operation. We'll make mistakes, but it will be such a great relief to not have to spend all day executive-icizing, and just go out and do what I'm really good at. This is as close as I'll get to a comedian's freedom."
On Friday, Olbermann had a conference call with journalists to discuss plans for his new show and that specific Olbermann-ness that, perhaps, made MSNBC eventually shy away from a top star. On the call, Olbermann assured us that he will not be veering from his pet topics -- health care in particular -- nor will his show suddenly lose the courage fans admire him for. “[Current] considers ourselves...an independent TV network. And in many senses we are alternative media, because we are doing something different than what has been done with the last 30 years of news.”

Since CURRENT TELEVSION addresses a liberal base-and as a viewer, who for the most part enjoys your programmming, perhaps we need to touch base on this one:
CURRENT Television is presently airing a racially offensive promotion.
The CURRENT Television promotional vehicle I refer to opens with a wide shot of a young, black male basketball player, in uniform and fresh faced with an older,white male voice, under the video, saying, "He has not got A CLUE". End of spot. This is an insult that has no other purpose than to imply, suggest and support the idea of ignorance and inferiority on the part of the black athlete, and the dominance and superiority of the unseen but dominate white male presence.
Further, this promotional spot serves to reinforce racist stereo types that suggest black athletes are inferior to and less intelligent than white managers, announcers and or white males in general, this despite an overwhelming African American presence that obviously dominates certain sports venues. CURRENT, therefore needs to cease and desist this harassment and racist insult, update its current understanding of what is legal, acceptable and appropriate for Federal Communications Commission regulated air waves and not in violation of FCC civil legal rights legislation and information affecting racial diversity, and should further consider this promotional material as an insult to all people, as well as a direct and ongoing pattern of abuse and harassment targeting black people generally and athletes in particular, both black and white, and an indication of a failure to acknowledge the bridges crossed via the sportsmanship displayed between players and coaches in a culturally diverse arena.
I am asking therefore that CURRENT Television refrain from running information that is in violation of FCC regulation as it affects Title XVIII legislation, and is offensive, effective immediately that CURRENT TV be made to cease and desist the airing of aforementioned racist stereotypical promotion. IMMEDIATELY.Since CURRENT TELEVSION addresses a liberal base-and as a viewer, who for the most... more

In this "4th and Forever: Coach's Corner," Coach Raul Lara explains the importance of brotherhood and family for Long Beach Poly's football team.
"4th and Forever" chronicles the 2010 football season of Long Beach Polytechnic High School, touted by Sports Illustrated as the "Sports School of the Century" and boasts the largest roster of high school players who have gone on to the NFL. After decades of success, Poly had a down year in 2009. They had their worst season in 15 years and lost to local rival Lakewood for the first time in over 25 years. After years of being pegged as "the team to beat," the aura of invincibility is gone. The players are worried that their hopes for a college scholarship have dimmed. The clock is ticking and the question is: Can Head Football Coach Raul Lara pull the team together for one more season of greatness? And, can the players avoid the temptations of the street, succeed in the classroom, and emerge victorious on the field?
