Liberals for Conservatives?!?

OK, so now I'm officially confused.  Here's the flow:

- The liberal media historically dislikes - or maybe despises - fringe conservatives.  Honestly, that's almost a tautology.

- Trump becomes the Republican nominee, completely shaking up the Republican establishment and utterly tweaking reactionary Conservatives.  The people shaken up and tweaked are the very people that, by definition, liberals oppose, and fundamentally so.

- The extreme Conservatives, some of whom are utterly off the right side of the page, decline to unify behind Trump.  In tantrum-like fashion, they criticize and even vilify Mr. Trump.

- The liberal media (and here comes the punch line) point to that criticism and vilification as confirmation of Mr. Trump's lack of qualification.

Really?!?  Are you completely kidding?!?  Maybe this is just a silly joke.  The people who have forever been in the cross-hairs of the liberal media are now somehow the Voice of Reason?  I frankly can't believe the rank duplicity.  A liberal citing to Beck, Levin, Limbaugh, etc., etc., for support of liberal opposition to Trump?  I thought everyone wanted to see a move away from the fringe extremes into a more moderate center.  So now we've got that, complete with full-blown hysteria on the part of the right-wing fringe extremists.

With any consistency at all, the reaction of the liberal media should rather be along the lines of: "Hey, the people who are rejecting Trump are the very people with whom we vehemently disagree at our very core, maybe more than we disagree with any other group in the political spectrum.  Hmm, maybe Trump is striking a chord that we should consider more soberly, if the people that are rejecting him are the very people whose views we hold in such incredibly low esteem."  The opportunistic demagoguery and sheer rank duplicity of liberals pointing to a rejection of Trump by dogmatic ultra-right Conservatives as evidence of his undesirability is nothing short of staggering.  Hey, folks, disagree with The Donald all you want, but please - please - try to maintain even a shred of honesty, consistency and self-respect.

P.S.: The remarkably self-important Speaker of the House is purporting to set himself up as a higher-ranking member of his party than the party's presidential nominee?  What exactly would the reaction of the liberal media had there been to an attempt by, for example, Nancy Pelosi to sit in judgment of Barack Obama?  Sheesh.
