The decay of serious journalism and Rachel Maddow's new show

The New Republic -- of all places -- laments the loss of "nuance or intellectual rigor" on television as epitomized by MSNBC's troubling decision to give an actual liberal her own show.

@ Greenwald

Amazing that there are still so many people who see the entire world through -- every last square inch of it -- exclusively through the prism of their specific preference in the Obama v. Hillary wars.-- Glenn Greenwald

Including yourself, I take it, as you chose to focus on my one reference to Senator Clinton. Perhaps it was a mistake to mention her, but when referring to Olbermann's recent excesses, his drooling "Special Comment" basically accusing Clinton of advocating Obama's assassination does come to mind. But Maddow didn't disagree with Keith on anything. And sorry, when he drags her on Countdown and forces her to admit that she owes her new show to him, well, it's not a pretty picture.

But anyway, never mind Hillary, how do you know I'm not just a frustrated Dan Abrams fan?
