<p>During the October 18 edition of 
MSNBC&#39;s <i>Countdown</i>, host Keith 
Olbermann named Fox News host <a href="http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/seanhannity?src=item200710190002" title="http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/seanhannity">Sean Hannity</a> 
the "winner" in his 
nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment for, as <i>Media Matters for America</i> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200710180001?f=h_top" title="http://mediamatters.org/items/200710180001?f=h_top">documented</a>, not 
disclosing, during a 21-minute <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200710190002&to=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,302606,00.html" title="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200710190002&to=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,302606,00.html">interview</a> with Republican presidential 
candidate Rudy Giuliani and his wife, Judith, on October 16 , that he has <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200710190002&to=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/08/19/2007-08-19_giulianis_foxy_pal_cash_flap.html" title="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/08/19/2007-08-19_giulianis_foxy_pal_cash_flap.html">reportedly</a> 
helped raise money for Giuliani&#39;s presidential campaign. Olbermann stated: 
"Another Hannity interview of Rudy Giuliani this week -- yet another occasion 
when Hannity and Fox and [Fox News chairman and chief executive] Roger Ailes did 
not disclose that, on 
August [9th], Giuliani 
held a big-ticket fundraiser in Cincinnati and the man introducing him to the 
high-paying guests was Sean Hannity." Olbermann said Hannity "has now dropped 
down one more notch to Rudy Giuliani fundraising meat puppet," and that "even 
the other Republican presidential hopefuls should be screaming bloody murder 
about this."</p>

<p>From the October 18 edition of 
MSNBC&#39;s <i>Countdown with Keith 
Olbermann</i>: </p><blockquote>

<p>OLBERMANN: But the winner: Sean 
Hannity of "Fixed News." The next time somebody tells you Fox is not dedicated 
to electing Republicans and sliming Democrats, answer with this anecdote: Another 
Hannity interview of Rudy Giuliani this week -- yet another occasion when 
Hannity and Fox and Roger Ailes did not disclose that, on August 19th [sic], 
Giuliani held a big-ticket fundraiser in Cincinnati and the man introducing him 
to the high-paying guests was Sean Hannity.</p>

<p>Sean Hannity, who his bosses insist 
is not a journalist, but just a conservative commentator, and who has now 
dropped down one more notch to Rudy Giuliani fundraising meat puppet. I mean, 
even the other Republican presidential hopefuls should be screaming bloody 
murder about this. Sean Hannity: today&#39;s "Worst Person in the 
World."</p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
