Worst Persons - 2007 - 09 - 27 countdown with keith olbermann

From the sublime to the ridiculous. If Bill O'Reilly was taken out of context, why doesn't he play the tape of the context on his TV show? Bill-O's sympathetic biographer thinks the situation is much worse than we realize. And Bill is now threatening people. That's ahead. Time for Countdown's worst persons in the world, other worst persons. The bronze to John Gibson of Fixed Noise, again lying about the funding for Media Matters, the watchdogs who caught O'Reilly. Says Gibby, George Soros is after Bill O'Reilly and he's enlisted the help of CNN and NBC. As for NBC and CNN, they should be embarrassed. It's the real journalists inside those two places that need to stand up and revolt. We did, John. We fired you. Runner up tonight, Fixed News in general, it has apparently declared war on Iran. Sean Hannity announced a mission, Iran showdown to destroy nuclear facilities there and cripple the regime. Fox Noise is presenting a special on Iran called "Ticking Bomb" this weekend hosted conveniently enough by Dan Senor, the former press flak for coalition forces in Iraq. Rupert, you want to go bomb Iran, make it clear you're not acting on behalf of any Americans. But our winner, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, offering National Public Radio an interview with the president providing that the White House could pick the interviewer. It's not done that way in real news organizations nor in real free countries incidentally. Plus, the White House hand which can choice was Juan Williams, now best known as Bill O'Reilly's chief apologist and a man who once compared David Letterman to murderer John Wayne Gacy because Letterman asked Bill-O tough questions. NPR politely declined the administration's latest attempt to bully the free press. But certainly that did not wipe the frozen small off the face of White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, today's Worst Person in the World.
