(39,451 posts)what the hell did he expect?
You cannot go to Current and expect it to be run as well as a major cable news channel - like msnbc.
Current is growing. It is experiencing growing pains and yes, oops, there are mistakes both techno ones and management ones.
Rather than be a person that helped Current grow and work to get past the mistakes, Keith decided to rally against them.
Keith could've put his stamp on Current and made it an amazing alternative to corporate funded news.
Now he is going to do all he can to hurt them because they couldn't meet his expectations.
Current gave Keith an opportunity for something great, something memorable. A game changer, if you will.
But he blew it.
And I am afraid there will not be another outlet that will be willing to work with him.
A shame. We needed Keith.
