He detested that Fox News became the propoganda wing of the Republican party. Over time he has done the same for the Democrats. It's hard to say whether he is
as guilty of making stuff up as Fox News, but at a minimum, he has certainly been actively involved in exagerating the Republican's flaws while glossing over the Democrats failings.
In terms of actual news from a MSNBC 'personality' I find Rachel Maddow much more fair and balanced (to borrow a term). However, Olbermann is endlessly entertaining but not quite in the train-wreck-sort-of-way as Glenn Beck.
