Yes, it comes from a "liberal" (though he hates being called that, and last I remember, called Obama a sellout in his MSNBC days, correct me if I'm wrong), but he does make some good points here.

Well, he did have one of the more epic meltdowns after Trump got elected and has been actively trying to undermine his presidency since.

He may claim that he isn't liberal, but his reaction to Trump winning puts most liberal journalists to shame.

There are plenty of conservatives and definitely people in the middle that hate Trump.

I really enjoyed his sports commentary when he did that.

Best thing the media can do is stop interviewing Conway, she's a tool.

I was just thinking about Dan Patrick and how I get him and Olbermann mixed up.

Two conservatives that don't like Trump, Gary Johnson and Evan McMullin (the latter is still working against Trump).

While there are several conservatives that don't like Trump, the ones that didn't like him were actively trying to get another conservative to get the Republican nomination so that Trump wouldn't have made it to the general election. For many of them, resistance of Trump wasn't an endorsement of Clinton.

On the other hand, guys like Olbermann wanted Trump to get the Republican nomination because they thought he would be the easiest candidate for Clinton to beat, then went into meltdown when she lost anyway.

After the election, he has been actively fear mongering about Trump, practically guaranteeing that we will all die in a nuclear holocaust resulting from a retaliation attack from him nuking a country that insulted him. Journalists like him are the reason so many people are scared we won't even make it to the 2020 election.

No kidding. He should be more respectable like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh.

@LJS9502_basic: I know, I just mentioned that because his meltdown surpassed many of the more liberal journalists that lost it after President Trump won.

Many of the independent and conservative journalists that didn't like Trump seemed to keep their head level when talking about how much they thought he would be a disaster, and camly endorsed other Republican candidates or even went as far as endorsing Clinton.

On the other hand, Olbermann totally lost it after Trump got elected. He has even dedicated almost daily videos to tell us how Trump is unfit and is one Tweet away from sending us down a path of nuclear annihilation if Congress doesn't step up and impeach him immediately. Just yesterday, he was practically begging Trump to resign.

Watch a lot of football, but it's Al Micahels, Dan Dierdorf, Gruden, Madden, etc. Dont ever remember Olberman on any NFL broadcast.
