For about 18 months I’ve been wondering why CNN and MSNBC don’t move a little to the right since Fox is killing them in the ratings. I came to the conclusion that ideology trumps ratings. Today I learn that Zucker and Klein have been fired from NBC and CNN, respectively. Now I’m wondering if there’s a sea change occurring in the main stream media. Could this signal a move to the right (or at least to the center)? Call me crazy, but I think not…… I’m pretty sure that the main stream media will continue to bash the Tea Party and paint a rosy scenario for the economy. But, then again, maybe I’m wrong. Perhaps ratings will trump ideology after all. Capitalism is a wonderful thing.
Well, stay tuned.
