    Olbermann to join Current election coverage soon

    NEW YORK (AP) — Despite his absence from early primary coverage, Current TV's Keith Olbermann will soon be part of the act.

    In a tweet posted Sunday, the volatile anchor of the "Countdown" show said he would be "running the election coverage of Current" after Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. On Monday, a Current representative confirmed Olbermann would host future coverage.

    Olbermann was missing from last week's coverage of the Iowa caucuses. This led to reports of a feud between Olbermann and the network, where he has been an executive and star for less than a year.

    It remains unclear what format election night coverage will adopt with Olbermann participating — a special edition of "Countdown" or one of Current's "Politically Direct" election specials, featuring Current personalities as well as network co-founder Al Gore.

      Wow, a far-left liberal working for a far-left media outlet. It will probably be just like MSNBC analysts commenting about a GOP debate.

      Keith is going a part of this circus act? We know what he is going say, "Every time Obama reads some minder's words off a teleprompter, a thrill runs up and down his legs. Everyone else is a racist."

      • The OldDog 4 mths ago
        He loves the fact that Obama finds the Constitution to be a flawed and inconvenient document.
      • A Yahoo! User 4 mths ago
        you guys wouldn't know what the Constitution was if you fell over it.

      I can hardly wait to hear that snarky liberal's left wing rhetoric. Oh wait, I never watch Current TV. Neither does anybody else because of their constant left wing rhetoric that even liberals don't believe.
      • Maher 4 mths ago
        So instead you listen to Fox because of their constant right wing rhetoric that even conservatices don't believe.
    • Theodore W  •  Irvine, California  •  4 mths ago
      Oh good - what we have been missing is a totally biased liar to comment on the election process!
    • Name Withheld  •  4 mths ago
