David Gregory Has the Conch

Liberal bloggers are very much up in arms over the replacement of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as election night anchors by the more "straight" -- or at least taller! -- David Gregory. Glenn posits that it can't be sheer profit motives that prompted the decision, and we'd have to agree: Profit motives would have turned MSNBC into an all-infomercial station at this point. Rather, and of course, it is the REPUBLICANS who have master-minded this coup. Because their instincts are so worth following right now.

Seriously: Either the MSM is mindless in its pursuit of politics, a mere tool of the right, or caught in an unstoppable waning of influence. Can it be all three? Really? I'm serious right now because it's of slight personal interest.
