			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mediaite.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/lou-dobbs-keith-olbermann.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-45489" title="lou-dobbs-keith-olbermann" src="http://www.mediaite.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/lou-dobbs-keith-olbermann.jpg" alt="lou-dobbs-keith-olbermann" width="307" height="200" /></a>Shortly after <strong>Lou Dobbs</strong> announced his decision to leave CNN, he received his first going-away present: a &#8220;Worst Person in the World&#8221; bronze medal, courtesy of <strong>Keith Olbermann</strong>. <span id="more-45482"></span></p>
<p>At 6:21 yesterday, Media Decoder <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/lou-dobbs-to-depart-cnn/">broke the news</a> that Dobbs would be leaving the network to &#8220;engage in constructive problem solving.&#8221; </p>
<p>Amid early speculation that that meant he might be leaving media entirely (since when has media been constructive?), CNN President <strong>Jon Klein </strong>released a statement that Dobbs had decided &#8221;to carry the banner of advocacy journalism elsewhere,&#8221; which <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/is-lou-dobbs-going-to-fox/">revived old rumors</a> that he might be headed over to Fox Business. Yesterday, a spokesperson for FNC and FBN told Mediaite that they had not had &#8220;any discussions with Lou Dobbs for Fox News or Fox Business.&#8221;</p>
<p>So &#8230; how is a career decision that might not even result in Dobbs&#8217;s winding up under the Fox umbrella (though that result is still the odds-on favorite) Worst Person-worthy? After reading Dobbs&#8217;s press statement in his trademark &#8216;spooky voice,&#8217; Olbermann justified it thusly: &#8220;you&#8217;ve just denied me that impression? How dare you, sir!&#8221; Olbermann also passed on the rumors that for the time being, CNN would do two hours of their 8pmET show (<a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-back-in-fourth-place-in-prime-time-demo/">that would be</a> <strong><em>Campbell Brown</em></strong>), and that Dobbs would be poached by Telemundo.</p>
<p>Broadcasting at 8pmET, Olbermann did not mention Klein&#8217;s statement &#8212; which Mediaite posted at 7:45pmET &#8212; but the &#8220;Worst Person&#8221; segment still showed some pretty quick turnaround in incorporating something that had happened less than two hours before the show began.</p>
