Olbermann tags Roger Ailes WPITW…

Yesterday on Countdown, Keith Olbermann tagged Roger Ailes as Worst Person In The World for saying that Bill Clinton’s angry response to Chris Wallace was an “assault on all journalists”…

Our winner: Roger Ailes, “The Ming the Merciless,” of FOX News and congrats, incidentally Roger, on having achieved the perfectly circular shape. He says today that President Clinton’s reaction to Chris Wallace the other day was “an assault on all journalists.” No, Roger, what he said was an admonishment, somebody sending terrorist threats to me and others is an assault to all journalists.

This puts me in a bind. On the one hand, I feel badly for Olbermann because he was targeted with what amounts to several degrees of severity beyond a death threat and he probably, deservedly, feels sensitive about the whole incident. On the other hand, trying to compare Roger Ailes’ comment to what happened to him leaves me nonplussed. The two are not related.

  2. Not loony…perfectly relevant. Ailes has no clue what a REAL “assault on journalists” is!
