Yes, I wouldn't believe that MSNBC is rated so highly but I have to agree that they did well. Since they picked up Michael Savage before the war the drift to the right must be management and Bill Gates.

ABC rated "F" earned it -- ABC deserves to be tried for treason and Peter Jennings hung with a rope used to torture Iraqi prisoners.

I've done some thinking about ABC. All the networks over the years have been blatantly liberal, but I've always thought it was all fairly unintentional and is a result of just being way too narrow in their thinking -- pretty much the way that Bernard Goldberg sees the problem.

But ABC now seems so far to the left that I'm wondering if they didn't make a management decision to just try to take over the liberal audience the way that FNC has taken over the conservative audience in cable news. Even though the liberal audience is much smaller, perhaps they think that if they can sew up that audience, they can win in a ratings war.

I don't know if it has worked, but that's my best guess about what's happening here.

Look, I might agree with Michael Savage most of the time; and also think that he has important things to say. But I have to admit that he is too involved with himself to be reliably steady.
