116. Olbermann set himself up for this.
He decided he'd rather be a commentator/advocate than a journalist. So he began to openly cheer for one candidate and go after another. I'm an Obama fan so I'm not saying that his criticisim of HRC wasn't well-deserved or inaccurate, I believe it was well-deserved and accurate. But the thing is, Olbermann is still trying to insist he has a news program and he's a journalist when his actions show him to be anything but. He should be labeled like O'Reilly or Dobbs or one of those guys because that's what he is. I knew that one day the tide would turn against him and it has with the Hillary supporters. I can understand your anger at him. I'm angry at him for deciding to be an advocate instead of a journalist.
