New York Magazine has a piece about "the loud cartoonish bloodsport that’s engorged MSNBC, exhausted CNN—and is making our body politic delirious."
Some good scoops in this piece, including the fact that MSNBC tried to purchase The Huffington Post. They really are trying to emulate Fox as much as they can (from the left).
In my book "$everance," I had to create an imaginary liberal Fox to show how ridiculous it would look to conservatives from the other side. It was satire because it didn't exist in real life. It exists now at MSNBC, and it's not very far away from the way I portrayed in the book.
But as much as I complain about it, it seems that this is what people want. The ratings prove it. CNN, the only station that isn't going after a politically-leaning target audience, is getting crushed by both Fox and MSNBC.
