Whose Values?

After less then a year, Keith Olbermann has been fired from Current TV and has been replaced with...it's coming...you guessed it:  Eliot Spitzer.

An excerpt from the press release from Current TV founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt:

Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it. 

We are moving ahead by honoring Current's values.  Current has a fundamental obligation to deliver news programming with a progressive perspective that our viewers can count on being available daily -- especially now, during the presidential election campaign.  Current exists because our audience desires the kind of perspective, insight and commentary that is not easily found elsewhere in this time of big media consolidation.

So they are honoring Current's values by hiring Eliot Spitzer.  Makes sense.
