4. Sabrina, I have been so distressed by the DU reaction to Keith's firing.

Having read the lawsuit that was available online, I think Current treated Keith horribly. I also found their treatment of David Schuster dispicable. Trying to say anything supportive of Keith in General Discussion is impossible, so I've decided not to get involved in any more of the threads about Keith in that forum. I find the quick and superficial judgements to be too disheartening.

I hope he will find a new outlet that affords him the freedom that Current pretended to offer.

I had upgraded to Current only because Keith was on it. Now I never watch it. It's GOP non-stop. valerief May 2012 #5

Hi valerief. I haven't watched Current since Keith left either. Laurian May 2012 #6

That feed was just awful, wasn't it? Suich Apr 2012 #2

Awful isn't nearly insulting enough a word! kaitcat Apr 2012 #3
