Did MSNBC have a problem with Keith Olbermann dubbing Bristol Palin 'Worst Person in the World' last week?

According to Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun-Times "an MSNBC insider reports the talk-show host was “called on the carpet” by his bosses for declaring Bristol Palin “the worst person in the world” on his show last week — calling it “tacky” and “a cheap shot that was uncalled for.”

It'd be interesting to know what being 'called to the carpet' consists of in Olbermann's world. Olbermann wields a great deal of clout at MSNBC and it's hard to imagine one 'worst person in the world' segment (about Bristol Palin, no less) would warrant a knuckle rap. More so considering all he got for breaking campaign donation rules last month was a four day weekend....

Maybe the execs at NBC have figured out who the next president will be?

Alan Grayson?

These leftist wackos should get a life and stop hating good, normal people.

Great, Keith, ya snarked an 18 year-old girl. That’s not quite as bad as Letterman going after Willow (14), but still appallingly low.

[t-dude]

I think they are starting to realize these Palin girls fight back...and they don’t want any part of that.

Don’t start none, won’t be none

I’m curious...what was Bristol’s crime? Being a young mother? Going on a tv show?

[BigSkyFreeper]

A lot of Liberals want Olbermann gone, TIME’s Joe Klein is one of them who said some thing to the effect that the last thing he wanted to do when he came home from the office at night is turn on the TV and hear some grown man acting like a child on TV.

KO is an insignificant person, and nobody of character watches him. His greatest wish is that he had the power to be “hurtful,” except that, much to his chagrin, nobody of import watches him.

Living.

Being a Palin.

[BigSkyFreeper]

To Letterman’s credit though, he apologized. You won’t hear an apology from Olbermann though. In his world, apologizing is beneath him.

Being a single teen mom speaking out about how hard it is to be a single teen mom. No joke. For that, olberdufus called her the worst person in the world. What a loser (olberdufus).

Bristol is growing up fast...she turned 20 on Oct 18th.

[YankeeReb]

calling it “tacky” and “a cheap shot that was uncalled for.”

But if they eliminated tacky cheap shots, would Keith even have a show?

I thought MSLSD fired him or something.
I seem to remember all the libs I know had their panties in a bunch about a month ago.

I think is has to do with a young unwed mother promoting sexual abstinence.

The dipstick called it hypocritical.

[USNBandit]

I'm so jealous. I will never be famous enough to be Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World."

Instead of her retort, she should have made a brief statement saying she would be waiting anxiously for her trophy in the mail.

[USNBandit]

She may be the youngest WPITW.

[BradyLS]

I’m growing senile faster!

Check the link - ugly olberman denies that he got called on or to the carpet....LOL.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Calling Bristol Palin “The Worst Person in the World” has yanked the rug out from under the title’s credibility.

All of Olberman’s evil awardee’s are now no worse than this little girl.
