Aaron Brown is excellent and so is Hardball. People just don't want real news right now, they want jingoistic stuff they can rah-rah around. O'Reilly is the king of it, dismissing real debate so he can push buttons. Watching it is like eating junk food -- nothing wrong with the occasional sweet, but don't eat it for lunch and dinner or you'll ruin your health.
Also, the market for this stuff swings old, which might be the key to it all really. Nobody under 60 watches Larry King.
