VDH Hits the Nail on the Head Once Again

Nothing like a little bit of Victor Davis Hanson straight shooting on a Sunday morning:
Liberal copycats of talk radio fail, not because they are always boring but because there is little market or even need for such a counter-establishment media. The progressive audience already finds its views embedded in a New York Times or CBS "news" story. So why turn to a redundant and less adept Al Franken, Phil Donahue or Arianna Huffington?
If anything the MSM is getting more bent to the left because they have succeeded in driving away their customers seeking "fair and balanced" coverage. The MSM now has to preach to their choir because that's the only audience they have left. CBS News trails Simpsons reruns in many major markets. The damage has been done and now CBS et al have to try and keep the left wing audience.
