Keith Olbermann Slams Murdoch With 'Fok' Website Mocking News Channel [View All]

Looks like Keith Olbermann has declared war on his former boss, Rupert Murdoch -- with the announcement today of the "FOKNewsChannel website."

The former MSNBC host and upcoming Current TV host said Tuesday on the Twitter site for his faux channel, which has been up since Jan. 25, that he is enlarging it to an actual website.

"Proud to announce: coming very, very soon, your FOKNewsChannel website..."

Olbermann later, via his own Twitter page, told TheWrap's Dominic Patten that "FOK is an abbreviation for 'Friends of Keith." While the title seems more anagram that abbreviation, Olbermann also added in the tweet that "reference to plural of FOK is purely coincidental."

Former MSNBC 8 PM host Keith Olbermann has already announced his plans to join Current TV, but it seems he also has some digital ideas in the works.

Olbermann tweeted through his @FOKNewsChannel account:

“Proud to announce: Coming very very soon – your FOKNewsChannel website…”

So where will it be? The early signs point to FOKNewsChannel.com, which was registered the same day as Olbermann created the @FOKNewsChannel Twitter account.

The site was registered anonymously, using the same registrar that purchased TheKeithOlbrmannShow.com a few days before Olbermann announced his departure from MSNBC.
