Olbermann Sez He Won’t Be Censored




In a spot ad released earlier this week by Current TV, Keith Olbermann previews what viewers can expect Monday night during the premiere of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, according to a story by Jane Kellogg at the hollywoodreporter.com.

In the 30-second bit, Olbermann points at how he has had to cater to network executives in the past, and how his new show on Current TV will allow him an uncensored take on the day's headlines.

“For every story there is a flurry of heavily biased, corporate-sponsored spin that can distract even the most engaged viewer,” Olbermann says in the ad—while trying to avoid a graphic attempting to censor him. “And every day we’re all left with a bit less clarity… until now.”

Seemingly Olbermann is referring to networks such as MSNBC, which he exited abruptly in January.

Countdown with Keith Olbermann premieres Monday, June 20, at 8/7c.
