On last night's Countdown, Keith Olbermann preemptively named Page Six's Paula Froelich his "Worst Person in the World" after finding out she was working on an item, for today's column (here's the item), that accused colleague Chris Matthews of gunning for the Meet The Press gig at Tim Russert's funeral. Matthews denied the charge on the record, and said the "agent type" he was speaking to was real-estate developer Bob Monahan, and that their conversation wasn't about his plot to secure the gig, but about an upcoming speech Matthews was going to give to a group of mayors. As for Olbermann, P6 quotes a source saying he's threatened to quit if he isn't named to the MTP gig; Olbermann also denies the claim. And it better be true, because everybody we've spoke with says Olbermann and Matthews are about the last people NBC News president Steve Capus plans to install on the Sunday morning talker. Russert himself took a liking to political director Chuck Todd, though it's also unusual that Russert is said to have bandied about Todd's name as his pick of successor, since Russert, while still alive, had no plans of giving up the show anytime soon.

Meet the Press would NEVER be that ignorant to put obviously biased "commentators" Chris Matthews or Keith Olbermann in that slot. They have continued to drag down the NBC News division with their pro-Obama slant.
MTP will be hosted by a true "journalist" not some biased pundit or commentator! And Olbermann???? Please, the guy is so far left he's about to fall off the edge of the earth…..Not a snowball's chance in hell……
Would be nice if Fox Feces Channel would fucking get sued, they have no education and of course no manners. All the fuck they do is attack and try to act innocent. I wish the people they smear would take them to court until they have no choice but to shut down or sell that bullshit call New York Post and other Feces ran based journalism buildings by that smear merchant Rupert whore Murdoch, And the rest of his uneducated minions. I'm awaiting the day Rupert leaves this earth and takes his hatred with him and his uneducated minions would scramble for work or go back to their old jobs. Guys cleaning urinals with their tongues and changing urinal cakes and the women were well using their special talent.
Nikki…
I dont think this article was about Fox. It was about Meet the Press.
Do you think that everything in the world that you dont like is becuase of Fox News? Are you that unhinged…Well I guess your post would confirm that you are at least a little unhinged and very paronoid.
Sucks to be you.
