At Current, television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don't have environmental cases against us, we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.
Keith Olbermann
I have achieved what I wanted to achieve. I'm better off at some sort of independent place where they not only like what I produce but also trust me to be the one to produce it.
Keith Olbermann
Success is overrated.
Keith Olbermann
My last sort of crisis was about overcoming the people who were more interested in what I had done than what I was doing in the present.
Keith Olbermann
I'm difficult for management. That's why I have the reputation because nobody challenges management.
Keith Olbermann
If racism is not the whole of the Tea Party, it is in its heart, along with blind hatred, a total disinterest in the welfare of others, and a full-flowered self-rationalizing refusal to accept the outcomes of elections, or the reality of democracy, or the narrowness of their minds and the equal narrowness of their public support.
Keith Olbermann
It's such a simple thing, really. It's an awareness that the other people in the world are other people, and that you are one of them. That every time you have a chance to help somebody out, to do what's right instead of what you think you're supposed to do, you should do it.
Keith Olbermann
Fox News is hated because they're elitists, and the worst winners television's ever seen.

Reagan's dead, and he was a lousy President.
Keith Olbermann
Matt Millen, you draft a wide receiver every year. HOW DARE YOU SIR, HOW DARE YOU!
Keith Olbermann
Abraham Lincoln did not shoot John Wilkes Booth. Titanic did not sink a North Atlantic iceberg. And Fox News is neither fair nor balanced. These are simple historical facts intelligible to all adults, most children, and some of your more discerning domesticated animals. But not... to Bill O
Keith Olbermann
I just think if you're 44 years old and you're not smarter than you were when you were 35 years old or 25 years old, just stay in your room.
Keith Olbermann
Your anger will cool into hardened passionate insight if you wait a day. Most of the things that make me angry I let them sit. The heat that remains will be sufficient. The stuff that evaporates is the stuff that would have simply offended or made it histrionic.
Keith Olbermann
I guess the painkillers wipe out your memory along with your ethics.
Keith Olbermann
It's not about 'NBC is evil.' It's about that media structure - CBS, ABC, CNN, even some of the smaller operations are now multinationals, with these extraordinarily diverse holdings.
Keith Olbermann
The idea of negotiating with the President of the United States runs contrary to everything that the Republicans have done since January 20, 2009.
Keith Olbermann
The corporation is one of the great unheralded human inventions of destruction. It is a way to absolve from any personal liability a bunch of people. They form together in a massive ID and they do whatever they want.
Keith Olbermann
You risk becoming a parody of yourself by not innovating.
Keith Olbermann
I don't think there are huge divergences between my personality and what they see on TV. And I think that's why I have been gainfully employed doing this. I'll always deliver what an employer wants.
Keith Olbermann
The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job ask anyone out pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' - they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.'
