Remember when Joe Scarborough was a Republican? Not only that, but he was one of those Class of '94 guys, brought in by Newt Gingrich as part of his Republican Revolution. Well, that was then.
Today, he's a host on MSNBC, and he seems to be in competition with Keith Olbermann to see which surviving MSNBC anchor can be the leftiest and shrillest. One would think that Olbermann has that prize wrapped up, but as Cliff Kincaid, of Accuracy in Media demonstrates, Scarborough is striving to keep up. Others have noticed Scarborough's left-drift, too, including Mark Finkelstein of "Newsbusters."
It appears that the Dan Abrams-ification of MSNBC continues.
But it's not so clear that any of it is working: dropped MSNBC.
