The Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, who said he had been “banned” from MSNBC for a year, will also be a contributor to the new “Countdown.” (Mr. Griffin sidelined Mr. Moulitsas for spreading innuendo about Joe Scarborough.) While MSNBC “has pretended to be the progressive network,” Mr. Moulitsas said, “they are conservative in terms of who they have on and what they can say.” Referring to Mr. Olbermann’s new show, he said, “I think that Current recognizes that there is a real opportunity here for a network that has a real diversity of opinions and voices.”
Mr. Olbermann, always pleased to pick a fight, clearly wants to foster competition. To Rolling Stone this month, he said “we’re going to take MSNBC’s business away from them,” a comment that Mr. Griffin chalked up to strategic posturing.
“Look,” he said in an interview on Friday, “everybody has a strategy, and that is purely a strategy. I’m talking about reality, and the reality is that we’ve never been stronger.”
