Olbermann to Debut 'FOK News' Website

Erik Hayden 91 Views Feb 23, 2011
Keith Olbermann is looking to expand his reach beyond being "in charge" of Current TV. The former MSNBC anchor dropped hints that he's going to be expanding his FOK News Twitter feed into a website: "Proud to announce: Coming very very soon - your FOKNewsChannel website," he tweeted on Tuesday.

 It's unclear if the site will be news-based or something more focused on parody or activism. If Olbermann is going for a pet-project news setup, though, perhaps he will soon have slightly more in common with Tucker Carlson (The Daily Caller) and Glenn Beck (The Blaze) than he'd like to admit.
