Olbermann makes Cooper look like Cronkite.
Not to burst your bubble or anything - but have you read anything by Cronkite since he retired?
Back in the day, the environmental Left consciously set out to mainstream (verb) groups like the Sierra Club by creating and publicizing the more radical groups like Earth First. Doing so made the Sierra Club look centrist and respectable, even staid. It worked, and the left considers this to have been a very successful strategy.
I see the same thing going on with MSNBC and CNN. They are too competitive for it to be an agreed-to strategy but the effect is similar. Olbermann makes Cooper look like Cronkite.
I think it would cool if some deep-pocketed conservative got all strategeristical and created a truly right wing network to shift the perceived center point rightward. Then FOX would be one of the two “centrist” networks with CNN. In fact, with four networks there would be no true center as with three.
