The self-defeating "liberal media" seem like a right-wing conspiracy

What the hell is going on with that?

Rachel Maddow's once great show has been reduced to horse-race commentary, and contrived hilarity over yolk-drops during demonstrations of already-disgusting displays of albumen-based cocktails.

Cenk Uygur's Young Turks program is ruined by the host's nearly constant shrieking. The show was actually better with guest-host Brian Unger the other day.

And Keith Olbermann, despite the many millions of dollars he's reportedly being paid, rarely shows up for work.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were just another part of the big dog-and-pony show.

but I very much tend to agree with your analysis. I particularly find Rachel and KO disappointing, just ghosts of their former selves. Cenk wasn't really ready for prime time, so maybe he'll learn as he goes along, and KO's hit or miss attendance really makes him appear to be the prima donna everyone said he was.
