I think the biggest problem is that the people who run the networks have no brains and no soul.
As a result they buy into the shit sandwich without questioning it or thinking outside the box.
For all of its faults, there is one positive thing to say about Fox News. They had the guts to do something different. They decided that a right-wing news channel could succeed, and they put their money where their mouths were. Hence they have built a "brand" that has a loyal following.
Because Fox broke the mold and created a success, the timid dorks at CNN and MSNBC figured thay have to imitate Fox to duplicate its success.
Anyone with half a marketing brain would see that the country is at least half liberal or moderate left, and do counter programming to Fox. But they are morons so they do not have the guts or brains to think outside the box.
It's like a couple of the original "reality shows" took the bold step to create something new and different. Now all of the sheep in the media are imitating the form of those successes, rather than trying to find their own ways to crteate something new and different.
