Keith Olbermann has the habit of taking gratuitous jabs at Fox News – which one can find in almost any type of story on his Countdown show – and so far, he's struck twice this week.

On Wednesday night, July 20, while reading an item on the death of former Washington Week in Review host Paul Duke, he said, "When he retired from that same chair two decades later, the show was a staple of national public affairs broadcasting, aired on 300 stations, getting four million viewers, which would be more than any program in cable news, or even those cable networks that pretend they cover news." Vague, I know, but I've seen the show enough times to know he was referring to FNC. And then tonight, he took a more direct shot at Fox News during which he employed the same theme of FNC not being a real news channel.

Tonight, during his "Worst Person in the World" segment, a Fox News employee was one of his targets of ridicule, earning the distinction of "Worser." Quoting Olbermann: "And there's 'Publicist X,' the anonymous spokesperson for Fox News, who today continued to issue personal attacks on the reporters and executives of the actual cable news networks. We don't know who 'X' is, however Fox News' vice president of media relations is named Irena Briganti, and X presumably works for her, and Ms. Briganti certainly doesn't want to appear as covering up for a cowardly, insecure, ashamed, gutless employee, so she should probably fire them posthaste."
