Michele Bachmann may not be the only casualty of the Iowa caucuses. Anchor Keith Olbermann is in a fight with Current TV after he refused to lead the network’s coverage of the GOP race Tuesday. Olbermann has hired a lawyer to find out what his rights are in his five-year contract. Current TV CEO Joel Hyatt said that while he’d like to have Olbermann with the network in the future, “everybody is replaceable.” The Wrap reports that the host is not happy with Current TV’s ratings and its “shoddy” working conditions. With the New Hampshire primary coming up fast, it’s unclear whether Current TV will let Olbermann run the coverage on his terms.
