True, though to be fair to Kevin I believe he has acknowledged that somewhere in this thread, or one of the related ones. Keith announced, I think on November 1, and in the wake of Jon Stewart's lumping him in with with FN crowd at his Rally: "As of right now, I am unilaterally suspending that segment with an eye towards discontinuing it. We don’t know how that works long-term. We might bring it back. We might bring back something similar to it. We might kill it outright.""Today given the serious stuff we have to start covering tomorrow, we think it’s the right time to do it short-term and then we’ll see what happens.” I am not sure if he has announced a permanent termination of the segment over the last two weeks. I don't watch Countdown anymore regularly, and have not since the 2008 election coverage. I do review selected segments on his website fairly often. But Kevin's argument was that, if Keith were a fair journalist, he would have made Obama one of his WPITW for the 22 months or so that he was president before suspending the segment, since he did make Bush his WPITW several times when he was President. I have tried to explain why I think that is a faulty analysis. <http://dailycaller.com/2010/11/01/olbermann-stopping-%e2%80%98worst-person-in-the-world%e2%80%99-segment/#ixzz15I2uzXVz> -- TV or Not TV ....
