WIZBANG WONDERS if MSNBC is deliberately shifting rightward. My web-column for them doesn’t get me any special access to corporate strategy, but my guess is that yes, it is. The question is why? You’d think that Fox would have that territory sewed up, making left-angled counterprogramming smarter. But MSNBC tried that and it didn’t work very well.

One possibility: Fox isn’t as far right as people think, at least as compared to the cable-news viewing audience.
