Olbermann named Fox's Hume “Worst Person in World” for criticizing Reid for using same word choice to describe Dubai Ports World deal as Hume previously used

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named Fox News host Brit Hume “Worst Person in the World” for accusing Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of being “factually challenged” in his description of the deal under which a company owned by the government of Dubai would take over the British firm Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., which runs terminal operations at six U.S. ports. Hume took issue with Reid's statement that the deal gives “another country control of our ports,” but as Media Matters for America has noted, Hume himself has described the Dubail company as assuming “control” of the ports.
