NEW YORK (AP) — Keith Olbermann has returned to the air five months after his abrupt departure from MSNBC.
The outspokenly liberal host premiered on the Current TV network Monday night.
His new weeknight show, like the old one, is called “Countdown.” It also features the left-leaning point of view and attitude that made Olbermann the most popular host on MSNBC.
Olbermann’s first guest was documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.
Segments included “Inside the Republican Cult” and “Worst Persons.”
At the end of the hour, Olbermann signed off with his trademark toss of a wadded-up sheet of paper at the camera. He told his viewers, “Thank you helping us preserve freedom of news.”

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 6:34amWas Keith promoting civil unrest on his very first show? Wow! Imagine that. He’s been off the air for a while, so I guess all that hate and scorn has built up over the months. Settle down Keith, you’ve got plenty of time to get your little leftist minion drones all ginned up……..MSSMUG

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 6:20amHe opens his show with the commie Mr. Moore. This show is designed for only the most useful of useful idiots. This was the debut of another propaganda show for socialist/marxists/communists. It will soon fail like all the others.

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 5:45amShrill piety and pompous condemnation of all things not leftist, and debuting with Mr. fat fatty fatso himself.
I‘m glad he’s back, and I hope Current TV does well, really well. I hope all the loons tune in. Then MSNBC will only have as viewrs the mothers of the losers on it.
This is rather funny. It seems just one step up from doing your own “show” in your basement. Hey, maybe he should call it KEITH’S WORLD.

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 4:15am5 months off air and the guy can’t even change his intro music. What a lazy piece of earth killing coal this man is.
His special comments are great though. The Scott Brown one where he called him a child molester, woman beater, nude model, and everything else was legendary.

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 3:49amWe could ignore it better if the Blaze would stop promoting it. I was glad to hear he left MSNBC, because then we could finaly stop hearing about him. Without the right pushing his insidious crap, we would never hear or see him. Please, please stop, Blaze. I beg of you. He has 10 viewers on his own, including his family, and millions with you promoting this shtick. Jeesh. End of rant.

You know what, why the HECK is anyone giving airtime on Olberdorf?
Hey Beck, do you even understand what is going on, on you website? Is that Huff and Puff changing things?
Just wondering. For ONE, the comments suck for the layout. You have not upgraded this site at all!
WHat is this site to become, another propaganda outlet? Half the site is crud that no one can comment. The other half is a comment system that is about 20 years old. Oh well, you only want your comments or comments from you staff. Then you want the online comments promelgated by leftists.
You know what, you have about 2 weeks and I remove your site link from my site. By the way, get your darn comments section figured out!

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 4:35amOlberdouche is really breaker new ground with having Michael Moore as his expert guest. Same name, same annoying tone, same guests and same LOW ratings. It might actually take some ratings away from PMSNBC, which would be fitting that both those useless excuses for networks lose in the ratings. I will NEVER watch that show and give any credence to Al Gore and his farce of a network. Gore lost when he ran for president and has been a pathetic eco-terrorist since then. Just add this new show to the Hypocralyptic Douchepocalypse!

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 11:59amI have to agree with David, The Constitutional Libertarian on one thing, the ‘Commenting’ mechanism/process on this site SUCKS for me. I use firefox and have to sign in like 3 times in order to be able to post comments. I would post comments more often, but its a pain in the ass to sign in. I change to a different story, and have to sign in again. I thought is was my issue until DAVID posted about his frustration with this also. BLAZE needs to figure this out and fix it.
