Includes: "I believe it is not too late for both of them pull back from the brink, abandon their respective nuclear options and actually repair the damage that has been wrought BY BOTH OF THEM. Its time for serious MEDIATION. And yes, I do think that both these men have the moral fiber required to transform their anger into constructive work.
If South Africa in its violent birth throes of democracy for all, could find some type of healing through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission after the decades of bloodshed and abuse, then these two millionaires can find a path of reconciliation! Don't tell me that they can't recover from a war of words, when South Africa bravely sought to recover from a war of bloodshed, rape, torture and revenge! I simply will not believe nor accept it."

ESPN wasn't truly the worldwide leader in sports until Keith Olbermann came along. Brilliant, combustible, and allergic to authority, he revolutionized its flagship program—and started a countdown clock for his ugly exit the moment he walked in the door. An exclusive excerpt from a new ESPN oral history
by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales Illustration by Ward Sutton
Have Keith Theodore Olbermann spend a few seasons working at your television network and see how you feel. Sort of like Kansas after a twister. If Olbermann hadn't been so brilliant and talented, few would have put up with him. But Olbermann has a talent that can't be taught. He can relate to people on the other side of the camera and, indeed, relate to the camera itself in a way that comes across as second nature. And yet he once told an interviewer that on some level, he's always making fun of television: "Like, 'Look how ridiculous this is, me sitting here and you sitting on the other end, watching me—what are you doing that for?' I think that's always been my attitude." Olbermann agreed to come to ESPN in the spring of 1992 as an anchor for the 11 p.m. SportsCenter. In the last year of his contract with KCBS Los Angeles—which the station chose not to renew—he had been making $475,000. His starting salary in Bristol would be just over $150,000.

When I was at CNN, we used to look at ESPN as our comic relief, because for a long time, in terms of sports news, CNN was a ten-times-better product than ESPN. I used to look at my old friend [Chris] Berman sweating away in the studio without a teleprompter, trying to read his notes. I thought, Thank God that there's somebody on the air in worse shape than we are. And then I finally figured out how they survived for nearly a decade with no funding: They were in the middle of nowhere. Across the street was a McDonald's, what was always reputed to be a toxic-waste area, and cows. So unless you're a freelance dairyman, there was no place else to go.

Very interesting read. KO says most of it is basically true, except for the part about not offering to renew his option....says there was no option.ESPN wasn't truly the worldwide leader in sports until Keith Olbermann came... more

Current TV says Keith Olbermann will return to the air on June 20.
Current said Tuesday the title of the weeknight news-commentary hour will be "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." "Countdown" was the name of the program Olbermann hosted on MSNBC until his heated departure from that network in January.
Less than a month later, he signed with Current TV, the public affairs channel launched in 2005 by former Vice President Al Gore and Joel Hyatt.
A liberal lightning rod, Olbermann has often clashed with his former bosses and with the corporate culture of General Electric, until recently MSNBC's majority owner. By contrast, Current bills itself as America's only independent news and information TV network.
Current is available in 60 million households in the U.S.
