On the July 13 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann awarded Media Research Center president and nationally syndicated columnist L. Brent Bozell III the second-place spot in his nightly “Worst Person in the World” segment for Bozell's July 12 column attacking The New York Times' sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games. According to Bozell, the Times, in its articles and sponsorship of events such as the Gay Games, is “rooting for the homosexual revolution” and “actively spread[ing] the gay gospel.”

From the July 13 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

OLBERMANN: Our runner-up, the humorist Brent Bozell, ripping The New York Times for being a corporate sponsor of the Gay Games, just like Absolut Vodka is a corporate sponsor of the Gay Games, and Walgreens, and American Airlines. Bozell says this means the Times is, quote, “rooting for the homosexual revolution.” Brent, have you checked lately to see if your trolley is still on its tracks?
