Olbermann vs. Trump #19 - In Brief - Trump's Planned Live Television Coup

This is the 2:20 short version for Twitter. The political website @Axios reports Trump's scheme to steal the election hinges on one thing: if he has one or is merely leading key states on election night, he will "walk up to a podium on election night and declare he has won.” It is a coup, via the immediacy, urgency, and authenticity of live television. And the only way to stop it in its tracks is for the real television news operations to NOT CARRY TRUMP LIVE ON TUESDAY NIGHT. They must deny him the oxygen. They must deny him the opportunity to gain the legal, political, and perception-is-reality high ground. They must deny him the IMMORAL high ground. Just as the networks showed their courage by virtually ignoring Trump's fabricated Ukraine slanders against Joe Biden, they must be even braver and bolder on Election Night: run clips if you must, certainly quote him, but do not let Trump take over your networks. And position what he says correctly: if he tries to overthrow our constitution, SAY SO. Do not report "Trump Claims Victory" - report "TRUMP ATTEMPTS COUP WITH FALSE CLAIM." Watch my first political commentaries since The Resistance in this newest episode of my new series on Trump and the 2020 election: The Worst Person In The World With Keith Olbermann (or if the spelling overwhelms you, Olberman Oberman Oblerman Obermann and of course Kieth). The countdown, so to speak, is over! You know: the countdown with Keith Olbermann ;-)
