Wow. Far be it from me to argue with a learned professor and scholarly author, but it's all bat guano crazy from where I sit. While I agree that individual media outlets have proliferated and to some extent become less objective, moving into "niches" either "left" or "right," I simply do not believe those were conscious choices based on "what sells." Were that the case, the ultraliberal Star Tribune, bleeding customers, would move towards objective news reporting, and they haven't. Though I think that is what they believe, in their own minds, they have always done. Part of the liberal mindset (not that I would /know/) is the belief that they are the holders of objective truth, whatever they believe at the moment, and that everybody else is just WRONG. I think Fox is different not because they try to appeal to a conservative audience, but because they try to report the truth as objectively as they can (with some entertainment thrown in to fill the hours). And lastly, I didn't see that Megyn Kelly treated Trump any differently than anybody else. The interviewers hit every candidate with their supposed weak spots. It was Trump who created the problem, after the debate, by insulting Ms. Kelly.
"Part of the liberal mindset is the belief that they are the holders of objective truth, whatever they believe at the moment, and that everybody else is just WRONG."
How is this different from the Conservative mindset?
As for Ms Kelly, I think it will be interesting to see if FOX keeps her or caves to their more extreme viewers. That will be the test for FOX's dedication to asking hard questions.
"How is this different from the Conservative mindset?"
Good question. I would say the difference is that "at the moment" part-- the "not based on fixed principles" thing. And grant me some stereotyping or over-generalization here, but every argument I have with a liberal eventually devolves into tu quoque, ad nauseum, non sequitur or ad hominem. Conservatives may debate something back and forth but eventually "agree to disagree." I would say that's a different mindset.
