Worst Person in the World!

sherm-worst-person-smallWe've known it for a while, but the pins we've been poking into Sherm Frederick have finally pinched a national nerve earning the RJ Publisher a dubious honor.

Cue ominous music. Sherm Frederick is officially, at least for Jan. 7, the Worst Person in the World.

Sherm's Jan. 3 column, which we've debunked, and which Media Matters has fact checked too, have hoisted Sherm onto the other side of the national cable TV universe.

He was a guest last year on Fox News after he manufactured some news. Now MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has dubbed him "Worst Person in the World." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677#34758845

On Sunday, Sherm erroneously suggested there were no acts of domestic terrorism during Bush's tenure after Sept. 11, 2001. He spent the bulk of his column railing against President Obama for ignoring terror.

Here's some of Olbermann's commentary: "Obama has now made 37 uses of the root word 'terror' in his six statements about Detroit. 'Only two cases of domestic terrorism since 9/11, both on Obama's watch.' Publisher Sherm apparently missed those pesky anthrax terror attacks in the winter of 2001-2002 and the shoe bomber terror attack...and the 2002 terror attack on the El Al ticket counter at LAX and the DC sniper attacks of 2002 and the guy who drove his SUV into a group of pedestrians at Chapel Hill to honor his role moder Mohammed Atta in 2006. It's one thing if some greasy politician gets the memo and parrots this crap in public but this guy owns a newspaper, which would obviously be better off if he delivered it rather than try to write for it. Sherman 'Facts Optional' Frederick, the publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal: Today's Worst Person in the World."

Other than the fact that Sherm doesn't "own" the RJ, we find nothing to dispute with Olbermann's commentary.

We're just happy that our little inept publisher has finally gotten the right national attention.
