MSNBC host Keith Olbermann named Lou Dobbs as one of the worst
people in the world as the anchor of some 30 years suddenly
resigned from CNN last night amid
controversy.
"The bronze to Lou Dobbs, who tonight, as
of tonight, has just quit his CNN show," Olbermann said
during his "worst person in the world segment".
As Olbermann read out Dobb's resignation statement,
he put on an contemptuous impression and couldn't resist mocking
Dobbs further by adding joke sentences.
"‘I'm the last of the original anchors
here on CNN and I'm proud to have had the privilege of helping
to build the world's first news network.' And then I discovered
America," Olbermann said.
"The rumor around here is they're going to
do two hours of their 8 o'clock show and as to Dobbs, I hear
he's going to Telemundo." Olbermann added with a sardonic
grin.
While he is fully entitled to disagree with Dobbs'
politics, it was embarrassing to watch such an undignified display
on behalf of Olbermann directed toward a career professional
who is highly respected by a great deal of Americans.
Someone should remind Olbermann that he is presenting
MSNBC's flagship nightly news programming because he seems to
think he has become a poor man's John Stewart from Comedy Central's
Daily Show.
Olbermann models himself on another legendary
news anchor, Edward R. Murrow , even emulating his famous "Good
night and good luck" motto at the end of every program.
However, it is hard to imagine for one second
that Murrow would ever have resorted to such a base level of
sinpery and spitefulness, in turn reducing the programming to
pure political backbiting.
