World's Worst - Will, Hannity, O'Reilly

Dec. 9: Keith Olbermann named Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity and Washington Post columnist George Will his three worst persons in the world.

Will took the bronze for his column suggesting that liberals are trying to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, specifically to derail the right's hold on talk radio. However, as Olbermann pointed out, Will could not name any Democrat who pushed for the Fairness Doctrine because none have done so.

Hannity took the silver for complaining that Democrats rushed to indict Ted Stevens and vote him out of office, while it was Stevens himself who called for the speediest trial possible.

And O'Reilly took the gold for his ambush of New Yorker writer Rick Hertzberg, who O'Reilly claimed had rejected requests to appear on "The O'Reilly Factor." However, as Olbermann reports, Hertzberg and The New Yorker deny that he was ever invited, and say he will appear if asked.

These left, right commentators make lots of money because of their black, white views.The fact is we are ALL Americans who I'm sure want the basics in life.Can you imagine the amazing country we would have if we could all agre on certain basic human rights, and compromise on the details? Isn't that what ADULTS do?

I don't like how Keith delivers it, but I still agree with him :P

I dislike Keith Olbermann's politics but he really is about the only person in all of the news media who calls out conservative commentators for ranting on without bothering to substantiate their claims. Hannity is probably one of the worst about making things up.

I wonder how much different Keith would be if he were more familiar with economic theory and governmental organization. He strikes me as a liberal on cultural grounds.

I hardly watch this clown. I wonder who does.
