Didn't Keith Olbermann name Marsden the "Worst Person in the World" one day?



I'm not sure if she made the worst person list, but Olbermann did do a story about her "colorful past" after she tried to argue the Duke lacrosse players weren't harmed by the false rape charges.

This is all I could find:
QUOTE(Kieth Olbermann March 29 @ 2007)
OLBERMANN: Dude, we`ve captured our own stupidity on videotape. Hey, we`re not judging you. In fact, if we found this a week earlier, you guys might have earned yourself a Keithy.

Speaking of, tonight, the final grouping of nominees for the 2007 annual awards honoring the best of Web, category, Greatest Animal in All the Internets.

And he once made the joke himself. But are Laura and Barney now truly the president`s only supporters?

Those stories ahead.

Now, though, here are COUNTDOWN`s top three newsmakers of this day.

Number three, Roxana Arias Becerra, Miss Bolivia of 1993, arrested on charges of trying to take nearly two pounds of cocaine over the Brazilian border. A sad story, no doubt, but mentioned here only because a week ago, Sonya Falcone (ph), Miss Bolivia 1988, was ordered out of this country after she pleaded guilty to employing four illegal immigrants as household servants. You guys need to meet Tara Conner.

Number two, Sean Diddy Combs tells "The London Daily Mirror" that he had a nice, romantic trip to Paris with girlfriend Kim Porter. We went up to my suite and had tantric sex for at least 30 hours. You know, Mr. Diddy, they do say, if it lasts more than four hours, consult your doctor.

Number one, Rachel Marsden of Fox Noise Channel not going to be happy with her profile on Salon.com, not after she explained to Fox viewers how the Duke lacrosse players won`t suffer any long-term aftereffects from the false rape accusations made against them. Salon reports Ms. Marsden had filed quote, "questionable rape charges" of her own in her native Canada a decade ago, and later pleaded guilty to stalking, criminally stalking, a male Canadian radio host. Ms. Marsden, meet Mr. O`Reilly.


On this day, "Comedian Rush Limbaugh" was Worst Person in the World.

We will also be dispensing with article "histories" since once a wikipedia article is changed, its previous versions are deemed to have never existed. Indeed, any change to an article is an illusion as in fact the article was always the way it appears to be in its latest version.

That is all.

Is this true? If so, it is HUGE!

All that openly available libel and defamation, gone?

Wow.

What genius at WMF figured this one out?

Godwin?

Perhaps Jimbo should have read this first: How To Have An Affair

As anyone who has ever cared about Jimbo here knows, the only way to have any sort of rational or caring discussion with him is in the Wikimatrix here. Alright, fine. Game on, sweetheart. Newsflash: Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia; it is a cult. I wouldn't even be included in a real encyclopedia. I want the Wikipedia entry about me deleted. I don't know why this is such a difficult concept to accept. This is not a publishing company, nor is it some kind of altruistic venture for the greater good of humanity. Wikipedia is nothing more than the biggest and most prolific defamation machine that the world has ever known, run by people with varying degrees of personality disorders. You couldn't have cared less about my Wikipedia entry until we started sleeping together, Jimmy. At that point, it was nicely cleaned up and taken care of through your proxies here on the site, as per your instructions (and it's not the first time an article has been cleaned up through a proxy, as per your orders...this kind of stuff, contrary to popular belief, doesn't just happen "magically" here on Wikipedia). Now that we're not sleeping together and since you so publicly broke up with my here on this website, the page about me has turned into a complete free-for-all. Are you aware, Jimmy, that "NPOV" (aka "Neutral Point Of View") is actually an oxymoron? By its very nature, a "point of view" cannot be "neutral". Communism has failed everywhere it has been tried, Jimmy, and Wikipedia is no exception. As for you trying to make it seem as though your invisible hand isn't involved in any of this, perhaps it's wise for people to remember that the greatest feat the devil ever pulled off was convincing people that he doesn't exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RachelMarsden (talk • contribs) 14:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow. She pretty much nailed it there.
Moulton
I agree. For whatever other faults she may have, she accurately characterized the most disturbing aspect of Wikipedia, namely its passion for bringing the subject of BLPs (as well as fellow editors) into disrepute.
