Kevin Drum — Breaking: Conservatives Still More Disciplined Than Liberals

All three shows on FOX essentially cover the same four stories, in different orders....

On the other hand, MSNBC has only one story covered by all three programs....

The Fox hosts get their marching orders in the morning, and off they go. The memes of the day get promoted in lockstep....

But liberals? Well, over the past few years we've decided that we're willing to yell into the camera too if that's what it takes to compete, but by God no one tells us what to say....

...I suspect that this is at least part of the reason that conservative memes find their way into the mainstream media more often and more forcefully than liberal memes. They just repeat theirs more vigorously.
